What To Serve With It
Though brownies are delicious on their own, I love pairing them with something creamy or invigorating to balance their richness.
A scoop of vanilla ice cream melts perfectly over warm brownies, creating a gooey, dreamy combo. For a lighter touch, fresh berries like strawberries or raspberries add a tart contrast.
If you’re feeling fancy, drizzle caramel or hot fudge for extra indulgence. Coffee or cold milk cuts through the sweetness, making each bite even better.
Sometimes, I even crumble brownies over yogurt for breakfast—don’t judge! Whatever you choose, these pairings turn a simple treat into something special.
