Make brownies first or buy ready brownies. Cut or break brownies into pieces. Place brownie pieces in a bowl. Add one scoop of ice cream on top.

  • 1 cup brownie pieces (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 scoop vanilla ice cream
  • 3–4 chopped Medjool dates
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios
  • 1 tablespoon shredded coconut (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons warm chocolate or caramel sauce
  • 1 teaspoon butter (if you warm brownie pieces)
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)
  • Whipped cream or honey to finish (optional)

Directions :

  1. If brownies are cold, warm them for 10–15 seconds in the microwave with a little butter so they are soft.
  2. Put brownie pieces in a dessert bowl.
  3. Place one scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of the brownie.
  4. Sprinkle chopped dates and pistachios over the ice cream.
  5. Add shredded coconut if you like.

how to serve Dubai brownie bowl

Serve the bowl right after you add warm sauce and ice cream. Use a spoon and a napkin. Offer extra sauce or chopped nuts on the side. For a party, place bowls on a tray and let guests add toppings.

how to store Dubai brownie bowl

Store brownie pieces separately in an airtight box for up to 3 days at room temperature. Keep ice cream in the freezer. Do not store the assembled bowl; it will become soggy. If assembled, eat within 30 minutes.
