Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Brown ½ cup butter in a saucepan over medium heat until golden and nutty, then let cool slightly.
- In a bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, mix browned butter, granulated sugar, eggs, 1 tsp vanilla, and buttermilk until smooth.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients, then fold in ½ cup hot fudge sauce and chocolate chips. Pour into the loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- For the hot fudge sauce, melt ¼ cup butter and ⅔ cup chocolate chips in a saucepan. Add evaporated milk, sugar, 6 tbsp cocoa powder, and ¼ tsp salt, stirring until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tbsp vanilla.
- Slice the brownie loaf, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and drizzle with warm hot fudge sauce before serving.
