Brownie And Ice Cream Sandwiches With Chocolate Sauce Recipes

BROWNIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚. Line a 13-by-18-inch rimmed baking sheet with foil, leaving a small overhang on all sides. Lightly coat the foil with cooking spray. Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
• Whisk the melted butter, vegetable oil, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla. Add the flour mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan, all the way to the edges.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out clean with a few crumbs, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool about 30 minutes in the pan, then freeze until firm, about 45 minutes.
• Invert the brownies onto a cutting board and remove the baking sheet. Peel off the foil and use it to reline the baking sheet. Trim about ¼ inch from all four sides of the brownies. Cut the brownies in half crosswise. Lay one half on the prepared pan. Working quickly, scoop all the ice cream on top of it and spread evenly with an offset spatula all the way to the edges. Place the other brownie half on top and press down gently; smooth the sides with the offset spatula. Wrap the foil around the brownie sandwich and freeze until hardened, at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Cut the brownie sandwich in half lengthwise, then crosswise into sixths. Press the sides of each sandwich into the nonpareils. Freeze until ready to serve.

BROWNIE-ICE CREAM SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 10-by-15-inch jelly-roll pan. Line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on short sides, then butter paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together butter and sugar, then whisk in eggs and salt. Add flour and cocoa and mix until just smooth. Spread in pan. Bake until brownie is dry to the touch and edges have begun to pull away from pan, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes. Using paper overhang, transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
• Transfer brownie to a work surface and cut in half crosswise. Cover pan with a large sheet of plastic wrap and place one cake half on it. Spread with ice cream, invert remaining brownie half on top, and wrap tightly in plastic. Freeze until firm, about 2 hours.
• Unwrap, cut into 12 pieces, and serve. To store, wrap each sandwich in plastic and freeze, up to 1 week.

BROWNIE ICE-CREAM SANDWICHES WITH CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water melt the chocolate and the butter, stirring until the mixture is smooth, and let the mixture cool. Beat in the egg, the brown sugar,and the vanilla and stir in the flour, the cinnamon,and the salt. Divide the mixture into 16 mounds, abut 3 inches apart, on buttered baking sheets and bake the brownies in the middle of a preheated 350°F oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are just firm. (They will flatten into disks.) transfer the brownies with a spatula to racks to cool and freeze them for 30 minutes, or until they are very firm.
• Divide the ice cream, softened, among the flat sides of 8 of the brownies, spreading it smooth, and top the ice cream with the remaining brownies, flat sides down. Freeze the ice-cream sandwiches, covered, for at least 1 hour or overnight. Serve the ice-cream sandwiches drizzled with the caramel sauce.

CHOCOLATE SEA-SALT BROWNIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and kosher salt. Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over (but not in) a pot of simmering water, or in the microwave, stirring every 10 seconds.
• Stir in shortening and vanilla to combine. Beat eggs with both sugars on medium-high speed until pale, fluffy, and doubled in volume, about 5 minutes. Gently fold in flour and chocolate mixtures, alternating in two additions each, just to combine (do not overmix).
• Scoop 1-ounce (2-tablespoon) balls of dough; transfer to prepared sheets, spaced 2 inches apart. Sprinkle tops with flaky salt. Bake, rotating sheets and rack positions halfway through, until cookies spread and dome, with small cracks beginning to form on tops, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks 5 minutes, then transfer cookies to racks and let cool completely.
• Meanwhile, temper ice cream in refrigerator until softened but not melting, about 20 minutes. Sandwich 1/4 cup ice cream between 2 cookies; repeat with remaining ice cream and cookies. Freeze until ice cream is firm, at least 1 hour, then transfer to a freezer bag to store up to 1 week.
