Neapolitan Brownie Bomb Recipe By Tasty Food

BROWNIE BOMBE

Steps:

• For the brownies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-by-17-inch baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
• Combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, salt and eggs in a large bowl and mix until well combined; set aside.
• Melt the butter and chocolate in a double boiler, then whisk together until fully combined. Pour the chocolate mixture into the sugar mixture and mix until fully combined. Fold in the flour and cocoa.
• Pour the batter into the prepared baking sheet and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely.
• For the bombe: Using a 4-inch ring cutter, cut a round from the baking sheet of brownies. Slice the remaining brownies into approximately 3-by-4-inch rectangles. You should have 10 rectangles. Keep 5 rectangles as they are and cut the other 5 in half to make triangles.
• Line a 2 1/2-quart (about 9 inches across) freezer-safe bowl with plastic wrap. Place the brownie round in the bottom of the bowl and, alternating between the rectangles and triangles, fill the sides of the bowl. Press the brownie pieces into the bowl so that the interior of the bowl is lined with brownies. Break off any excess that extends above the edge of the bowl. Make sure to press the seams together so there are no cracks. Break the remaining brownie pieces into small crumbles and reserve.
• Wrap a 5-inch freezer-safe bowl in plastic wrap from the bottom, combining the loose ends of the plastic wrap at the top.
• Spread the softened ice cream inside the large bowl over the brownie layer. You should have about a 2-inch-thick layer of ice cream. Place the 5-inch bowl inside the ice cream layer, pushing it into the ice cream slightly to create a well. Cover the top with plastic wrap and freeze until the ice cream is firm, about 2 hours.
• In a large chilled bowl, combine the heavy cream, granulated sugar and cocoa. Whip the cream with a whisk or electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
• Remove the bombe from the freezer and remove the small bowl. Pour the hot fudge into the well, then fill with the whipped cream. Combine the reserved brownie crumbles and walnuts and sprinkle over the top of the bombe. Cover with plastic wrap and push down to press the brownie crumbles into the bombe. Freeze until the whipped cream is frozen, about 2 hours.
• Remove the bombe from the freezer and place the bowl side into a large bowl of hot water for 1 minute. Remove the plastic wrap. Invert the bombe onto a large platter or plate. Remove the glass bowl and plastic wrap. Garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder. Slice and serve.

BROWNIE ICE CREAM BOMBS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the brownie bombs: Cut 3 8-inch (20 cm) squares of plastic wrap. Place the plastic wrap in the cups of a 6-cup jumbo muffin tin, alternating between rows so you have enough space to work.
• With a 3½-inch (8.75 cm) cookie cutter, cut 6 circles out of the pan of brownies.
• Place a brownie circle in each prepared muffin cups. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop ¼ cup (35 g) of vanilla ice cream in the center of each brownie circle. Push a raspberry into the center of the ice cream and top with the remaining brownie circles. Wrap the plastic wrap around the brownie bomb. Place the muffin tin in the freezer and allow the brownie bombs to set for at least 4 hours, or up to overnight.
• Make the raspberry sauce: Add the raspberries, sugar, remaining 2 tablespoons of water, and the lemon juice to a small saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
• In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water until the cornstarch is dissolved.
• Once the raspberry mixture is boiling, reduce the heat to low and add the cornstarch slurry. Stir until the sauce thickens, 2-3 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let the sauce cool.
• Remove the brownie bombs from the freezer. Unwrap and place, domed side up, on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Pour the melted chocolate frosting over the bombs, then place in the refrigerator to set, about 20 minutes.
• Remove the bombs from the refrigerator and drizzle with the raspberry sauce. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

ICE CREAM BOMBE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Line a 9-inch diameter glass bowl with enough plastic wrap to hang over the edges by 6 inches (15 ¼ cm) all the way around. You may have to use more than one piece of plastic.
• Add the softened ice cream to a medium bowl. Mix with an electric hand mixer until smooth.
• Transfer the softened ice cream to the prepared glass bowl and smooth the top with a rubber spatula so the ice cream is about 1½ inches (4 cm) from the rim of the bowl. Reserve any leftover ice cream in the freezer. Gently press another piece of plastic wrap over the ice cream to prevent freezer burn and freeze for at least 8 hours, up to overnight.
• Make the vanilla cake: Arrange a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch (23-cm) round cake pan with parchment paper and grease with nonstick spray.
• In a liquid measuring cup or medium bowl, mix together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla.
• In a separate medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and butter. Beat with an electric hand mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
• Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and the egg yolks, beating between each addition. Continue beating until almost doubled in volume and very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
• With the mixer on low speed, gently beat in a third of the flour mixture. Before it's fully combined, add half of the buttermilk mixture. Repeat with another third of the flour, the remaining buttermilk mixture, and the remaining flour and mix until well-blended and no lumps remain. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 45-50 minutes, rotating the pan halfway, until the cake is golden brown, pulling away from the sides of the pan, and the top springs back slightly when pressed. A cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
• Remove the cake from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. The cake should still be very warm, but cool enough to handle. Remove the cake from the pan and place pan-side down on a wire rack or cutting board. Slice the domed top off the cake and discard or save for another use.
• Remove the ice cream bowl from freezer and peel back the top layer of plastic wrap. Gently flip the cake upside down, placing the still-warm, cut side of the cake down on top of the ice cream. It should fit snugly inside the rim of the bowl. Gently press the cake down to ensure it makes full contact with the ice cream. Cover again with plastic wrap and return to the freezer for at least 6 hours, up to overnight.
• Remove the ice cream bowl from freezer. Fill a slightly larger bowl about ⅓ of the way with hot water. Carefully lower the ice cream bowl into the hot water, ensuring that the water line is well below the rim of the bowl so it doesn't spill over.
• Set a wire rack inside a baking sheet. Peel back the plastic wrap and carefully invert the ice cream bowl onto the center of the wire rack. Remove the bowl and plastic wrap.
• Using the hot water in the larger bowl, warm an offset spatula for a few seconds. Use the spatula to smooth out any creases in the ice cream left by the plastic wrap. The surface of the ice cream should be as smooth as possible. If there are any gaps between the ice cream and cake, fill in with the leftover ice cream. If the ice cream has started to melt at all, return to the freezer until completely frozen again, 1-2 hours.
• Make the chocolate glaze: Add the chocolate, butter, and corn syrup to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, whisking between, until completely melted. Whisk vigorously until glaze is smooth and glossy. Let cool to about 100°F (38°C), or just warm to the touch, before using.
• Pour the chocolate glaze directly over the top of the ice cream dome in one continuous pour, using a spatula to ensure the chocolate leaves the bowl quickly. Ensure the bombe is covered completely by swirling the chocolate in a 2-inch circle over the top center of the dome.
• Let the bombe sit at room temperature 5-10 minutes for the ice cream to soften slightly and the glaze to set, or place in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes. If serving more than 30 minutes later, return to the freezer, then let the bombe thaw at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.

BROWNIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• Prepare the brownie mix as directed for "fudgy" brownies. Replace the directed amount of water with dark, freshly brewed, coffee.
• Take 1 cup (235 ml) of the batter and transfer it to a 9 x 9in (23 x 23 cm) brownie tray that has been lined with parchment paper.
• Using a spatula, spread the batter evenly over the bottom of the pan to make a thin layer.
• Once the batter is spread out, take another piece of parchment paper and layer it on top of the batter. Using your hands, smooth out the brownie mix to create a flat, even layer in the pan with no air bubbles between the batter and the paper.
• Repeat steps 3 and 4 so that you have 2 thin brownie layers.
• Bake for 14 minutes.
• Once baked, remove the top layer of parchment paper form the brownie. Then remove the thin brownie form one pan and transfer it to a cooling rack.
• NOTE: You will have one on the cooling rack and another still in the baking tray with the top layer of parchment paper removed.
• Take the ice cream out of the freezer and give it 5-10 minutes to soften.
• Once soft, spread the ice cream over the top of the brownie in the baking tray.
• Take the first brownie layer from the cooling rack and placing it on top.
• Lightly press the top brownie down into the ice cream then transfer the entire baking tray to the freezer to freeze completely.
• Once frozen, use the remaining layer of parchment paper to lift the contents out of the baking tray and transfer them to a cutting board.
• Quickly trim away the excess ice cream.
• Cut the large layered brownie square into 8 2x4-inch (5x10-cm) sandwiches.
• Either serve immediately or wrap the sandwiches in foil and transfer them back to the freezer for a later time.
