🍫 Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches 🍦
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 cups of your favorite ice cream, softened
Instructions:
Prepare the Brownie Batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into a greased 8x8-inch baking pan. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely on a wire rack.
Cut the Brownies: Once cooled, cut the brownies into 16 equal squares. You can also cut them into larger rectangles if you prefer bigger sandwiches.
Assemble the Sandwiches: Take two brownie squares and place a scoop of softened ice cream between them. Press gently to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining brownies and ice cream.
Freeze the Sandwiches: Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until the ice cream is firm.
Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen, the Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches are ready to be enjoyed. Serve immediately or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for later.
Helpful Tips:
For added flavor, mix in some crushed cookies or nuts into the brownie batter.
