These waffle brownie ice cream sandwiches combine the best of brownies and waffles into a delightful frozen dessert that's perfect for any celebration.
Equipment
- 1 Waffle iron preheated
- 1 Mixing Bowl large
- 1 Whisk
Ingredients
Brownie Waffle Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Filling
- 1 pint ice cream of choice slightly softened
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until thoroughly mixed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Preheat your waffle iron. Once hot, pour batter into the iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until waffles are firm and edges are crisp.
Assembling the Sandwiches
- Allow ice cream to soften slightly at room temperature. This will make it easier to spread onto the waffles.
- Place a scoop of ice cream onto one brownie waffle. Gently press another waffle on top. Repeat this process for all waffle pairs.
- Wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap or parchment paper. Freeze for 1-2 hours until ice cream is firm.
Serving
- Remove sandwiches from the freezer and let sit for a few minutes before serving to allow them to soften slightly.
Storage
- Keep remaining sandwiches in the freezer, wrapped individually, for up to two weeks.
