Deliciously fudgy brownie sundaes made with Coca-Cola, topped with a generous scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, and drizzled with a cola chocolate sauce!
These brownie sundaes are incredibly easy, yet SO full of flavor! Perfect to make for friends and family.
Making these brownies is not challenging at all, in fact, it starts with a boxed brownie mix.
Just add your box of fudge brownie mix to your mixer bowl, then add in vegetable oil, egg, coca cola, and buttermilk. Mix with the paddle attachment to combine thoroughly, but don’t over mix.
Pour batter into a greased 9×13″ baking pan and bake for about 25 minutes, or until set and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool completely.
What sundae is complete without a fantastic sauce? I chose to make a coca-cola chocolate sauce to really bring that coke flavor home 🙂 I followed the formula from my Guinness Cupcakes with Bailey’s Chocolate Drizzle, and swapped out the ingredients a little.
Combine all your ingredients except chocolate chips, whisk, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips.
Now let’s build those amazing brownie sundaes! Start with a thick, fudgy brownie on the bottom, topped with a big scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, drizzle it all liberally with the coca cola chocolate sauce and finish it with a cherry (or two)!
These are brownie sundaes that you definitely will want to have again!

Quick and easy AND it’s a brownie? Goodness what a treat! I’ll need to try this one as soon as summer rolls around because my dad’s obsessed with cola and we always have boxes! So until then I will wait in anticipation and just marvel at your gorgeous photos and be envious of you heheh. Happy FF!

Jhuls | The Not So Creative Cook says
We are 8 as children and I am the eldest. 😐
It’s been a year and a half since I stopped drinking Cola (and other soft drinks). Um, I sipped and I mean very little. I loved Coca Cola, too. I haven’t tried cooking/baking with it, though. And this amazes me – very enticing dessert. Thanks for co-hosting, Amanda. Happy FF.
The Chunky Chef says
Thank you Jhuls!! Ohhhh wow, 8… what a big family 😀 You know, I stopped drinking it for the most part as well… I realized about a year ago that I was drinking wayyyyy more pop than I was water, and once I stopped, I felt so much better! I still crave my coke though, so I indulge once in a while 🙂 It was such a fun recipe to create and of course, eat 😉 Happy FF to you as well!!
Kaila (GF Life 24/7) says
What a great recipe! So beautiful, and I’m glad you get along so well with your brother. My relationship with my sister is one of my favorite things I have going. In other news, when I search for my name on the Coca Cola Website, it always replies: “Looks like your name isn’t in stores. On the upside, you must have a really unique name.” Happy FF, and have a wonderful weekend! 🙂
The Chunky Chef says
Thank you so much Kaila!! Glad to hear you and your sister have a great relationship 🙂 Family is just awesome! Lol, I guess there’s pluses and minuses to unique names! Enjoy your weekend as well 🙂
Judi Graber says
I have a number of recipes using soft drinks but not a brownie one! Thanks Amanda and Happy Fiesta Friday #69 🙂
The Chunky Chef says
Glad to add another recipe to your arsenal 🙂 Happy FF to you as well!

This is so great! I’m not a big Coke drinker, but I LOVE cooking with it 😀 That chocolate sauce has my name all over it! Definitely sharing this!
The Chunky Chef says
Ahhh thank you Dini!! I used to be a BIG coke drinker, and now I mainly cook with it, and I do crave it on occasion. Oh that sauce, *might* have been drizzled over some other things… it’s too good to not eat 😉
