Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9x9 baking dish with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, beat together the sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla until fluffy. Slowly add in the flour and stir until a few streaks are still visible. Fold in the pecans and chocolate until incorporated.


Pour the batter into the prepared pan and back for 20 to 25 minutes or until a skewers is inserted into the center and comes out mostly clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

To serve, cut brownies into 9 equal squares. Place on a microwave safe plate and warm for about 30 seconds on medium-high. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, praline sauce and whipped cream. Sprinkle with extra chocolate chips and chopped pecans.

For the Praline Sauce: Combine the sugar, evaporated milk and butter in a sauce pan over medium heat. Stir until the the sugar is dissolved and then allow to cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining ingredients. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Note: This mixture can be made a few days ahead and stored in the fridge. Warm in the microwave or in a sauce pan before serving.

Helpful Tips:
1. Bake the blondies until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center.
2. Use freshly grated cinnamon in the praline sauce for a special touch.
