The ice cream is melting slowly, forming a pool of vanilla cream around the rich midnight brownie. A dollop of hot fudge is dripping down the sides of the scoop of ice cream, like thick fingers of chocolate.
I cradle the small bowl in the palm of my hand, savoring the sugary promise of the brownie sundae. I pick up the dessert spoon and slowly push it in through the layers. It's essential to have a good ratio of brownie, ice cream and fudge in every bite.
I bring the small spoon into my mouth, swirling the warm cake, warm fudge and cold ice cream around my tongue. The combination is perfect, the creamy vanilla balancing the intense rich chocolate just right.
A few bites later, the bowl is empty but my mouth is still echoing with the symphony of vanilla and chocolate. A small but rich treat is all I need to fulfill my indulgent cravings.
Tonight's Sunday Scribblings prompt is indulgence. What's yours?

You're making me hungry and it's way too late for a brownie sundae!
It is six. in. the. morning! I can't have brownie and ice cream for breakfast! I have kids! The whole post is an indulgence - think I'll save it and pull it out when I'm dieting :)
