Blondie Ice Cream Cake Food

BLONDIE ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Blondie:Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on long sides; butter parchment. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Beat butter with both sugars on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating to combine after each addition. Add flour mixture, stirring just until combined (do not overmix). Fold in chocolate chips to evenly incorporate. Scrape batter into prepared pan; smooth top with an offset spatula. Bake until a tester inserted in center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool completely in pan, then lift out using parchment.
• Using the base of an 8-inch springform pan as a guide, cut half of the cake into a round. Cut remaining half into 3/4-inch cubes. (Reserve scraps for snacking.) Place cake round in bottom of springform pan.
• Stir 1 1/2 cups cake cubes into softened ice cream, reserving remaining cubes. Spread ice cream over cake in pan. Wrap in plastic and freeze until very firm, at least 6 hours and up to overnight.
• Sauce:In a small saucepan, stir together sugar and 3 tablespoons water. Place over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Cover and bring to a steady boil, then uncover and cook, swirling occasionally, until deep amber, 6 to 8 minutes total. Remove from heat; whisk in butter, salt, and cream (it will bubble up). Add chocolate, stirring until just combined. Transfer to a heatproof bowl and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until mixture is cool and has consistency of thick hot fudge, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Remove cake from freezer. Use a sharp knife dipped in warm water and wiped dry to loosen cake from sides of pan, then unlatch and remove. Transfer cake to a serving plate. Pour cooled sauce over top, allowing it to drip down sides. Freeze again, at least 1 hour. Garnish with remaining cake cubes. Slice with a sharp knife dipped in warm water and wiped dry before each cut; serve.

ALMOST-FAMOUS MAPLE-BUTTER BLONDIES

Steps:

• Make the blondies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on two sides; butter the foil. Pulse 1/2 cup walnuts in a food processor until almost fine (do not overprocess). Whisk the ground nuts, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
• Beat 10 tablespoons butter and the brown sugar with a mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat in the vanilla. Gradually beat in the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in the white chocolate and the remaining 1/2 cup walnuts.
• Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake until the blondies are light brown around the edges and spring back when pressed, about 30 minutes. Cool slightly on a rack.
• Meanwhile, make the topping: Place the maple syrup and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until the mixture bubbles and thickens, swirling the pan, about 6 minutes. Add the cream and continue to cook until the mixture is the consistency of caramel.
• Use the foil to lift the blondies out of the pan, then cut into large bars. Serve warm topped with ice cream, the maple-butter sauce and the walnuts.

PEANUT BUTTER BLONDIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 8-inch baking dishes with the nonstick cooking spray and line them with parchment paper, allowing 1-inch wings to hang over the edges; set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, salt and baking powder. In a medium bowl, whisk together the butter, vanilla, eggs and 3/4 cup peanut butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula to combine. Divide the mixture between the prepared baking dishes and spread out evenly with a spatula or your hands. Bake until the centers are just set, begin checking for doneness at 23 minutes. Cool in the pans completely.
• While the blondies cool, allow the ice cream to soften at room temperature to a spreadable consistency. Using an offset spatula, spread the ice cream evenly over one pan of the blondies while it's still in the pan. Drizzle on the remaining 1/2 cup peanut butter and use the spatula to swirl it into the ice cream. Place the other blondie on top of the ice cream and freeze until the ice cream is firm, about 4 hours.
• Using the parchment wings, lift the whole thing out of the pan and onto a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut to trim the edges (if desired, this isn't necessary) and cut it into 1 1/2- to 2-inch squares. Wrap individually in plastic wrap or place in an airtight container and store in the freezer.
