Brownie Ice Cream Sandwich

Last weekend I made the most addicting ice cream sandwiches and they were a complete accident. What I had planned to make was brownie ice cream sandwiches, but a hurt foot halted the process. I was left with a giant sheet of brownies and a tub of ice cream. Try being 5.5 months pregnant with those lying around the house. Not good. So I went ahead and made those brownie ice cream sandwiches and distributed them around the neighborhood. Ive been asked to go into business, oh dear. Get the brownies ice cream sandwich recipe after the jump

These were actually quite simple to make as I used a mix (I got lazy) and I doubled the recipe.

Brownie Ice Cream Sandwich

1 box of brownie mix

4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, softened

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tub vanilla ice cream (I used reduced fat)

Preheat oven to 350. In the bowl of a mixer combine the brownie mix with the egg, soft butter, vanilla and salt. Mix on medium for about a minute until a thick dough forms. Line an 88 pan with parchment or foil (spray with cooking spray) and spread out the batter. It will seem thin, but thats OK. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and remove the brownies from the pan and allow to cool completely. Once cool, cut into preferred equal sizes.

You have two options for preparing your ice cream. While the brownies are cooking, some people take ice cream and spread it out onto a lined baking pan (same size as the brownies), just make it about an inch thick or so, whatever you prefer. Place back in the freezer, then cut into the same size as your brownies and assemble. I skip this step and just let the ice cream get a little soft, then I just scoop it onto the brownie and either serve immediately or refreeze for later.

  Raspberry Watermelon Lemonade

  Lemonade is a classic summer drink, but it takes a lot of sugar to counter all those sour lemons. Julie's recipe combines watermelon, raspberries, and fresh squeezed lemon juice with just a touch of honey, for a relatively low-sugar, naturally sweetened summer sip!

The Best Ever Ice Cream Sandwich

This past weekend we were invited over to my aunts house for a college send-off dinner. I was asked to bring dessert for my ice cream loving cousin and had planned to make ice cream sandwiches out of brownies, but trauma got in the way. My 6 year old daughter hurt her foot mid prep and all attention had to be redirected towards her (ps, this always seems to happen!). As I tended to her wound, I was not left with enough time to finish up my ice cream creations. So I improvised and made what my husband calls crack sandwiches. Keep reading to get the most addicting ice cream sandwich recipe.

Heres what ended up happening: I went to the pantry and grabbed a box of vanilla wafer cookies and some vanilla caramel ice cream from the freezer. I just scooped and squished and re-froze. They were a huge hit. We ended up making these for dessert tonight and the kids got to make their own. Perfect size dessert for little ones and adults trying to maintain some portion control.

Best Ever Ice Cream Sandwich

1 box of vanilla wafer cookies (nilla wafers)

1 carton of reduced fat vanilla ice cream with caramel

Allow the ice cream to sit out for a few minutes to just soften. Line up the cookies on a tray that will fit in your freezer. Scoop a small spoonful onto each cookie and place another cookie on top. Press down lightly. Place ice cream sandwiches on the tray into the freezer until frozen and hard (or just eat as you make!). Now you can eat them all to yourself because you wont be able to stop.
