In order to make no-cook, no egg vanilla ice cream, blend milk, sugar, and salt using a hand blender or Vitamix, or any other blender. You want to ensure that all the sugar has dissolved.
Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract and mix it gently with a spatula. Do not blend after adding the cream as you want to make it airy while churning. Now chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about two hours before churning.
Churn the mixture in the ice cream maker for about 25 minutes. Freeze the vanilla ice cream for about 6 hours before eating.

A cast-iron sizzler plate can be heated on the stove for about 10 minutes on medium flame. It can also be heated in the oven at 450 °F for about 10 minutes. If your sizzler plate has a handle like mine, the handles will be very hot too, so ensure you wear oven mittens or use other protection.
It is important that the sizzler plates are well heated. This will ensure a good sizzling effect when the chocolate sauce is poured.

Now the last part is to make the sizzling plate sizzle before you are ready to eat the dessert. As the sizzler plate is hot, once you pour chocolate sauce on it, it will sizzle. You will see bubbles of chocolate sauce.
On the hot sizzler plate, carefully place a piece of brownie at the center. Spread some chopped walnuts and cashew nuts around the brownie. Place a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the brownie.
Continue pouring the chocolate sauce, with a spoon, a few times until you see the sizzling effect is no longer there. Now you can enjoy the hot sizzling brownie dessert!

Hot brownie with ice cream is one of the most tempting desserts. It is hot, cold, and crunchy and has the taste of both the flavors - chocolate and vanilla!
For my kids, I serve the sizzling brownie without a sizzler plate as it is too hot and can be risky. Instead, I use a dessert plate.
