Easy Brownie And Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream Cake Food

EASY BROWNIE AND PEANUT BUTTER CUP ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray at 9x13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
• Combine sugar, flour, butter, eggs, walnuts, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl, stirring well as each ingredient is added, until smooth batter forms. Pour batter into prepared baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven until top is dry and edges have started to pull away from the sides of the pan, 20 to 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Remove ice cream from freezer to defrost slightly, about 10 minutes. Spread caramel topping over cooled brownies using a rubber spatula. Spread a single layer of ice cream over caramel topping. Scatter 1/2 of the peanut butter cups evenly and press into ice cream layer. Place cake in freezer until ice cream layer is hardened, at least 1 hour.
• Remove baking dish from freezer. Spread an even layer of fudge topping over cake. Cover with waxed paper and return to freezer until hardened, about at least 1 hour.
• Frost cake with chocolate frosting and top with remaining peanut butter cups.

FUDGY PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIE CAKE

Steps:

• HEAT oven to 350 degrees F. Coat bottom of an 8-inch round cake pan lightly with no-stick cooking spray.
• PREPARE brownie mix as directed on package using oil, water and egg. Stir in almond extract, peanut butter and peanuts until blended. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan.
• BAKE 40 to 42 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Remove from pan to wire rack to cool completely.
• PLACE cake on serving platter. Stir fudge topping until smooth. Spread over cake, covering top and sides. Place the tip of a frosting knife at the center of cake, pulling the knife toward the outer edge in a slight arc. Turn cake a notch counter clockwise. Repeat knife pull several times to form a pattern around entire cake. Garnish center of cake with mint, if desired.

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.

PEANUT BUTTER CUP BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

• Place batter in a cupcake pan (cupcake wrappers recommended). Once cups are 3/4 of the way full, place an unwrapped miniature peanut butter cup in the middle, then bake for 30-35 minutes keeping an eye on them while they're baking. Let them cool and then they're ready to eat!!
