Day 169: Brownie Ice Cream Sammies

Day 169.

Millie had been begging me to buy ice cream sandwiches next time we went to the store. Well guess what we forgot to buy? So we tried these instead, and honestly? I think I prefer these.

Here's what you'll need.
Photobucket
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 eggs
1 cup flour

Photobucket
Preheat oven to 350*.
Line a jelly roll pan with foil.

Photobucket
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter.

Photobucket
Add in sugar, vanilla and cocoa.

Photobucket
Whisk until smooth.

Photobucket
Add eggs, one at a time, whisking after each addition.

Photobucket
Add flour and salt, stirring until very smooth.

Photobucket
Pour into foiled pan.
Bake at 350* for about 10 minutes, or until set.

Photobucket
Once brownies are baked, stretch a sheet of parchment paper on the countertop. Turn pan upside down onto parchment.

Photobucket
Lift pan and peel away foil to expose brownies.

Photobucket
Invert pan on top of brownies.

Photobucket
Give it a good smoosh.

Photobucket
Place some cans in the pan, on top of the brownie to squish it. Leave it alone for 30 minutes.

Photobucket
After 30 minutes, remove the cans and pan.

Photobucket
Cut into squares.

Photobucket
To assemble sandwich, place one brownie square on a plate.

Photobucket
Top with ice cream.

Photobucket
And add another brownie square.

Photobucket
What a happy kid!

You can also assemble these, then wrap in parchment paper. Stick them in the freezer, and you've got sandwiches ready.
