Ingredients:
For the Brownies:
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
For the Ice Cream:
- 2 cups (480ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (170g) semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup (about 200g) brownie chunks (from the above recipe)
Instructions:
1. Make the Brownies:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
- Add cocoa, flour, salt, and baking powder, and mix until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into small chunks.
2. Prepare the Ice Cream Base:
- In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and chocolate chips. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before transferring it to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled.
3. Churn the Ice Cream:
- Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
4. Add Brownie Chunks:
- Gently fold in the brownie chunks into the churned ice cream, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
5. Freeze:
- Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
6. Serve:
- Scoop the chocolate fudge brownie ice cream into bowls and enjoy! Drizzle with chocolate sauce for an extra indulgent treat.
