- Add Ice Cream: Spoon a portion of vanilla ice cream over the brownie layer in each glass.

- Repeat Layers: Add another layer of vanilla ice cream followed by more caramel drizzle for a rich multi-layered sundae.

Notes
- Use chilled bowls and beaters for whipping cream to achieve better volume and stability.
- Store-bought brownies and caramel sauce make this recipe quick and easy, but homemade versions can also be used for extra freshness.
- Serve the sundaes immediately to prevent ice cream from melting and maintain distinct layers.
- For added texture, consider adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips as a topping.
