Ice Cream Brownie Cups Recipes

ICE CREAM BROWNIE CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven according to package instructions. Prepare brownies and bake in a lightly greased muffin tin. Bake for 20-25 minute, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with crumbs.
• While the brownies cook, make the sauce - bring cream to a simmer over medium heat. Pour over the chocolate and wait one minute. Add butter and vanilla and whisk until smooth, set aside.
• While brownies are still warm, take a second muffin tin, grease the bottom of the pan, and lightly press into the soft brownies. Carefully remove and then carefully remove brownie.
• OR.
• 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.

ICE CREAM BROWNIE BITES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Follow the instructions on the back of the brownie mix box (or your favorite homemade brownie recipe) to mix all of your brownie ingredients together.
• Prepare your mini muffin pan by coating it with non-stick spray.
• Scoop one heaping tablespoon of brownie batter into each mini muffin cup. If you have excess batter you will need to bake a second batch after the first comes out of the oven. See note 1 below.
• Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. See note 2 below.
• When the brownies come out of the oven let them cool for about 5 minutes then use a tamper, or a 1 teaspoon measuring spoon to press down in the center of each brownie bite creating an indention in the middle.
• Let the brownies cool completely.
• Once cooled use a 1 teaspoon measuring spoon to scoop the ice cream into a ball and place it in the middle of the brownie.
• Add any of your favorite toppings and serve immediately.

BROWNIE CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Lightly grease 24 muffin cups.
• Beat cocoa powder, 3/4 cup butter, oil, and 2 cups sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into butter mixture before adding the next. Beat in vanilla extract with last egg. Mix flour mixture into egg mixture until just incorporated. Fold in walnuts, mixing just enough to evenly combine.
• Combine animal cracker crumbs, 1/3 cup sugar, and 6 tablespoons butter in a bowl; mix until well blended. Press cracker mixture into the bottom of each prepared muffin cup. Pour brownie mixture into muffin cups, filling 3/4 full.
• Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 25 to 35 minutes.
