Description
Brookie Ice Box is a delicious dessert that combines brownies and cookies with a layer of vanilla ice cream, creating an irresistible treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened
- 1/2 cup chocolate syrup
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts if using.
- Spread half of the brookie batter into the bottom of a greased 9×9-inch baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 15-18 minutes, or until set but still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Spread the softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the baked brookie layer.
- Drop spoonfuls of the remaining brookie batter over the ice cream, creating a marbled effect.
- Drizzle chocolate syrup over the top and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
- Once frozen, cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- For a fun twist, try adding crushed Oreos or peanut butter chips to the brookie batter.
- Substitute the vanilla ice cream with your favorite flavor, such as cookies and cream or mint chocolate chip, for a unique taste.
