Make this one bowl Raspberry Swirl Brownie Sundae for Two. It’s the best small batch fudgy brownie for two ever!
It’s almost Valentine’s Day, and you know I had to come up with something chocolaty for the day. Last year I shared my Molten Chocolate Lava Cakes for Two, and the year before my Easy Chocolate Fondue. As a true chocolate lover, I think the best part about Valentine’s Day is the chocolate. And I believe that brownies should be moist, fudgy and rich. So I now present to you, the Raspberry Swirl Brownie Sundae for Two!
Que the fanfare. What I love about this skillet brownie sundae is that it is super easy to make. It can be made in one bowl and takes just a few minutes to stir together. And because I think raspberry and chocolate are divine together, I swirled in some raspberry preserves to make this Valentine’s day dessert extra special.
Now, I have explained before that I prefer to have a date night at home instead of going out to eat on Valentine’s day. Trying to go out to a fancy restaurant on Valentines day almost always leads to disappointment. The staff is stressed, the restaurants are crowded, the kitchen runs out of food. Better to stay home, eat a delicious meal, have a decadent dessert like this Skillet Brownie Sundae and then cozy up on the couch with some Netflix.
This Raspberry Swirl Brownie can be made ahead of time so you can just impress your sweetheart with a fancy dessert without a struggle. Have some ice cream on hand, and whip up the easy hot fudge sauce. Seriously – this hot fudge sauce takes about 30 seconds. Who says Valentine’s day has to be stressful?
