Light Fudge Brownie Sundae
Description
Indulge in this guilt-free dessert that delivers deep chocolate flavor without the heavy calories. This recipe creates a dense, moist brownie using applesauce and nonfat milk as binders, resulting in a tender crumb that rivals traditional baked goods. The magic happens when you pour the hot fudge sauce layer over the batter before baking; as it cooks, it settles to the bottom, creating a luscious, gooey chocolate reservoir. Once baked and cooled, each slice is served with a scoop of light frozen yogurt, turning the brownie into a classic sundae experience.Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Spray an 8x8-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
-
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and 1/4 cup of the cocoa powder.
-
Add the applesauce, vanilla extract, and nonfat milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until a thick batter forms.
-
Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
-
In a separate medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, remaining 1/4 cup cocoa powder, and hot water.
-
Stir the chocolate mixture vigorously until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is smooth.
-
Pour the chocolate sauce evenly over the brownie batter in the pan.
-
Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
-
Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
-
Cut into squares. Serve each portion with a scoop of vanilla frozen yogurt and spoon the chocolate sauce that has settled at the bottom of the pan over the top as a topping.
