Categories     Desserts

Time 4h30m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

9 oz fudge brownie mix, baked according to package instructions in a 9 x 13-inch pan
¾ cup vanilla ice cream
3 large raspberries
10.5 oz chocolate frosting, melted
1 teaspoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons water, divided
1 cup raspberries
¼ cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Make the brownie bombs: Cut 3 8-inch (20 cm) squares of plastic wrap. Place the plastic wrap in the cups of a 6-cup jumbo muffin tin, alternating between rows so you have enough space to work.
  • With a 3½-inch (8.75 cm) cookie cutter, cut 6 circles out of the pan of brownies.
  • Place a brownie circle in each prepared muffin cups. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop ¼ cup (35 g) of vanilla ice cream in the center of each brownie circle. Push a raspberry into the center of the ice cream and top with the remaining brownie circles. Wrap the plastic wrap around the brownie bomb. Place the muffin tin in the freezer and allow the brownie bombs to set for at least 4 hours, or up to overnight.
  • Make the raspberry sauce: Add the raspberries, sugar, remaining 2 tablespoons of water, and the lemon juice to a small saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water until the cornstarch is dissolved.
  • Once the raspberry mixture is boiling, reduce the heat to low and add the cornstarch slurry. Stir until the sauce thickens, 2-3 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let the sauce cool.
  • Remove the brownie bombs from the freezer. Unwrap and place, domed side up, on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Pour the melted chocolate frosting over the bombs, then place in the refrigerator to set, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove the bombs from the refrigerator and drizzle with the raspberry sauce. Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

BROWNIE ICE CREAM CAKE



Brownie Ice Cream Cake image

There's no better taste than the chocolatey madness of brownies, fudge, and ice cream made into a cake.

Provided by LIAGIBA

Categories     Desserts     Frozen Dessert Recipes     Ice Cream Cake Recipes

Time 2h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (19.8 ounce) package brownie mix
½ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup water
2 eggs
1 quart mint chocolate chip ice cream, or as needed
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 2 9-inch cake pans.
  • Combine the brownie mix, vegetable oil, water, and eggs in a mixing bowl; stir well with a spoon until thickened and smooth, about 1 minute. Spread the batter into the prepared cake pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until set and browned, about 30 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of a pan should come out with moist crumbs. Let cool for 10 minutes in pans before removing to finish cooling on racks.
  • After brownies are cool, remove ice cream from freezer and allow to soften for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, pour sweetened condensed milk into a saucepan, and mix in the chocolate chips; heat over low heat, stirring constantly, just until chips have melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool to barely warm temperature.
  • Place one of the layers of brownies into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Evenly spread the ice cream in a layer over the brownies; pour and spread half the chocolate sauce over the ice cream. Top with the other brownie layer, and drizzle the remaining sauce over the top. Freeze until ready to eat, at least 1 hour. Serve topped with whipped topping, if desired.

  • While brownies are still warm, lightly grease a shot glass and press a cup into each brownie. Carefully remove and then carefully remove brownie.
  • Scoop ice cream into cups. Top with chocolate sauce and sprinkles.
  • TIP: I found the muffin tin crushed the brownies because of how much surface area the tin displaced vs. a shot glass, and as such the shot glass yielded a much better cup.

BROWNIE ICE-CREAM BARS



Brownie Ice-Cream Bars image

With its crisp chocolate shell and chewy brownie base, this ice-cream bar is a treat to bite into.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Yield Makes 12 bars

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 3/4 sticks (14 tablespoons) unsalted sweet butter
46 ounces semisweet chocolate, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 pints vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 10-by-13-inch pan with parchment paper. Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil; turn off. Combine 1 1/2 sticks of butter and 6 ounces of chocolate in a small heat-proof bowl; set over saucepan. Let stand, stirring occasionally until chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • Whisk the eggs together in a large bowl; add salt, sugars, and vanilla, and stir to combine. Stir in the butter-and-chocolate mixture, then fold in flour. Pour the batter into prepared pan, spread evenly, and place in oven to bake until top is shiny, about 20 minutes. Do not overbake; a cake tester should not come out clean.
  • Set the brownie aside; let it cool completely. Store in an airtight container overnight. The next day, loosen corners of brownie. Lift it from pan, keeping brownie intact. Invert onto a cutting board, and peel off parchment. Trim about 1/4 inch from each edge.
  • Place a fresh piece of parchment in baking pan, allowing excess to stick out over the edges of pan. Return brownie to pan, top-side up, and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, working quickly, scoop half of the ice cream into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat the ice cream until soft and smooth but not melted. Using a rubber spatula, transfer the ice cream to brownie pan, and spread, creating an even layer. Place the pan in freezer to chill. Repeat with the remaining 2 pints of ice cream, adding a second layer to the brownie, and return pan to freezer. Let chill until very hard, at least 1 hour (overnight produces the best result).
  • Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water; bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Place the remaining chocolate and 2 tablespoons butter in metal bowl; set over water. Using metal spoon, stir until melted and smooth.
  • Remove pan from freezer. Place a cooling rack over a baking sheet, and set aside. Using edges of parchment paper, lift brownie and ice cream out of pan, and transfer to a cutting board. Working quickly and using a sharp hot knife, trim outside edges to even them, wasting as little of the ice cream and brownie as possible. Use hot knife to cut brownie into twelve 2 1/4-by-4 1/4-inch rectangles, and transfer each rectangle to cooling rack.
  • Remove bowl of chocolate from saucepan, wiping bottom until dry. Fill a 1/2-cup ladle with melted chocolate; carefully ladle chocolate over each bar, working from front to back. Cover as much of the ice cream as you can. Work quickly; do not worry if some ice cream shows. Return rack and baking sheet to freezer. Let stand until chocolate hardens, about 30 minutes. Serve, or store in freezer up to 1 week.

ICE CREAM BROWNIE BARS



Ice Cream Brownie Bars image

Introduced during the 1940s in New York City, the ice-cream bar has become a ubiquitous summertime treat -- particularly for those who like to eat on the run. In this dressed-up version, a brownie layer is topped with vanilla ice cream, then coated with rich semisweet chocolate.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

14 tablespoons (1 3/4 sticks) unsalted butter
46 ounces semisweet chocolate, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 pints homemade Vanilla Ice Cream, or store-bought

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 10-by-13-inch pan with parchment paper. Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil, and turn off heat. Combine 12 tablespoons butter and 6 ounces chocolate in a small heatproof bowl; set over saucepan. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • Whisk eggs together in a large bowl; add salt, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla, and stir to combine. Stir in butter-and-chocolate mixture, then fold in flour. Pour the batter into prepared pan, spread evenly, and place in oven to bake until top is shiny, about 20 minutes. Do not overbake: A cake tester should not come out clean.
  • Set the brownie pan on a rack; let it cool completely. Store in an airtight container overnight. The next day, loosen corners of brownie. Lift it from pan, keeping brownie intact. Invert onto a cutting board, and peel off parchment. Trim about 1/4 inch from each edge.
  • Place a fresh piece of parchment in baking pan, allowing excess to stick out over the edges of pan. Return brownie to pan, top side up, and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, working quickly, scoop half of the ice cream into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat ice cream until soft and smooth but not melted. Using a rubber spatula, transfer ice cream to brownie pan, and spread, creating an even layer. Place the pan in the freezer to chill. Repeat with remaining 2 pints of ice cream, adding a second layer to brownie, and return pan to freezer. Let chill until very hard, at least 1 hour (chilling overnight produces the best result).
  • When ready to assemble, fill a medium saucepan halfway with water; bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Place remaining chocolate and 2 tablespoons butter in metal bowl; set over water. Using a metal spoon, stir until melted and smooth.
  • Remove pan from freezer. Place a cooling rack over a baking sheet, and set aside. Using edges of parchment paper, lift brownie and ice cream out of pan, and transfer to a cutting board. Working quickly and using a sharp hot knife, trim outside edges to even them, wasting as little of the ice cream and brownie as possible. Use hot knife to cut brownie into twelve 2 1/4-by-4 1/4-inch rectangles, and transfer each rectangle to cooling rack.
  • Remove bowl of chocolate from saucepan, wiping bottom until dry. Fill a 1/2-cup ladle with melted chocolate; carefully ladle chocolate over each bar, working from front to back. Cover as much of the ice cream as you can. Work quickly; do not worry if some ice cream shows. Return rack and baking sheet to freezer. Let stand until chocolate hardens, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • For the brownie layer, use a high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor.
  • Do not overmix the brownie batter, as this will result in a tough texture.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely before assembling the ice cream cups.
  • For the ice cream layer, use your favorite flavor of ice cream. If the ice cream is too hard, let it soften slightly before scooping.
  • Use a variety of toppings to decorate the ice cream cups, such as chocolate chips, sprinkles, chopped nuts, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Brownie ice cream cups are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
