Brownie Sundae Cookie
Brownie Sundae Cookie Overview
The Brownie Sundae Cookie brings the classic ice-cream-sundae experience into a rich, oversized Crumbl dessert. Built over a gooey brownie-style base with crisp chocolate edges, it’s topped with creamy vanilla mousse, warm fudge drizzle, bright rainbow sprinkles, and finished with an iconic maraschino cherry.
🍪 View Crumbl Cookies MenuWhat Is the Brownie Sundae Cookie?
The Brownie Sundae Cookie is designed around the exact flavor notes of an ice cream parlor sundae. Instead of a standard cookie base, Crumbl crafts a fudge-heavy, brownie-textured base baked to achieve soft, gooey centers and delicately firm edges.
Once cooled, it receives a thick swirl of light vanilla mousse (mimicking soft-serve ice cream), followed by warm chocolate fudge drizzle, rainbow sprinkles, and a whole cherry. It stands out as one of Crumbl’s most visually striking and decadent specialty creations.

Mix the Fudgy Batter

Scoop & Bake
Divide dough into 6 equal large portions (approx. 3.5 oz each). Press slightly on a parchment-lined sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes. The centers must remain soft while edges set. Cool completely on the pan.
Whip Vanilla Mousse
In a cold bowl, whip heavy cream, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla to stiff peaks. Transfer to a piping bag with a large star tip.
