Mexican Chocolate Brownie Sundaes
- Cooking spray
- 2 sticks unsalted butter
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus a pinch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup cold heavy cream
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- Dulce de leche ice cream, shaved chocolate, toasted almonds and/or dulce de leche, for topping
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line an 8-inch-square baking dish with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 sides; coat with cooking spray.
- Melt the butter and semisweet and unsweetened chocolate in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until smooth.
- Remove from the heat and whisk in the brown sugar and granulated sugar until combined.
- Whisk in the eggs, vanilla and almond extract.
- Add the flour, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and the salt and stir until the batter looks like hot fudge.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread in an even layer.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, 30 to 35 minutes.
- Transfer to a rack and let cool completely in the pan.
- Beat the heavy cream, cayenne and a pinch of cinnamon in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.
- Lift the brownies out of the pan using the foil and cut into pieces.
- Serve topped with ice cream, the spiced whipped cream, shaved chocolate, almonds and/or dulce de leche.
