How to serve these brownies?

The world is your oyster when it comes to serving these brownies. I love them as is, but here are a few ways to level it up:

  • Add a scoop of ice cream on top. I love using vanilla bean ice cream on my brownies but feel free to use whichever one you like. A scoop of coffee ice cream will also allow the chocolate hazelnut flavor to shine even more. 
  • With some fresh berries on the side for a sweet, tangy, and chocolatey dessert. 
  • Topped with whipped cream- This will help balance out the richness of the brownies a lot.
  • With a drizzle of melted peanut butter for a nutty and chocolatey flavor. 
  • Topped with a generous drizzle of hot fudge sauce or caramel sauce
