Can I make this vegan chocolate brownie sundae ahead of time?

Yes! You can prepare all the components in advance. Bake the vegan brownies up to 3 days ahead and store them in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze for longer storage. Coconut whip can be made 1–2 days in advance and kept refrigerated. Pre-scoop the frozen dessert into balls and keep them in a container in the freezer for quick assembly. Assemble the sundae just before serving to maintain the best texture and presentation.

What can I use instead of aquafaba in the vegan brownies?

If you don't have aquafaba (chickpea brine), you can substitute it with ground flaxseed mixed with water (1 tbsp flaxseed + 3 tbsp water = 1 egg replacement). However, aquafaba gives the best fluffy and shiny brownie texture. Another option is a commercial egg replacer, but results may vary. Always check consistency during mixing to ensure a thick, ribbon-like batter.

Is this recipe suitable for gluten-free diets?

Absolutely! The recipe becomes fully gluten-free by swapping the all-purpose flour in the brownies for a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend. Also, be sure to use certified gluten-free waffle bowls or serve the sundae in a bowl without the waffle component. The rest of the ingredients — including the cashew-based frozen dessert and coconut whip — are naturally gluten-free.
