Tasty Tip: Gluten Free Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches

Brownies are our favourite! And we love them fudgy and chewie.  Our favourite recipe also happens to be gluten-free, and only needs one pot to make a batch!

 

You'll  need:

• 6 TBSP Butter
• 3/4 cup Sugar
• 225 g Bittersweet Chocolate
• 2 Eggs
• 1 TBSP Cocoa Powder
• 3 TBSP Cornstarch
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1 500 ml box Four All Salted Caramel Ice Cream
• 1 TBSP smoked almonds, chopped

 

To make the brownies:

 

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.  Line a 9 x 9 baking pan or larger baking sheet with parchment paper. 
2. In a small pot melt the butter and chocolate together on low heat.
3. Add sugar and whisk vigorously for 2 minutes.  Allow the mixture to rest for at least 5 minutes and whisk for an additional 2 minutes.  Let the mixture rest again, then whisk for 2 minutes.  This allows the sugar to fully dissolve which will help make a crispy crust and moist center.
4. Add eggs one at a time, incorporating each egg fully.
5. Sift cocoa powder, cornstarch and salt onto the batter, and beat vigorously until the batter is smooth and shiny, 1 to 2 minutes.
6. Spread the batter into prepared pan and bake for 12 - 15 minutes, until brownies are just set in the center.  Take care not to overbake.
7. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan, before cutting.

 

To make the ice cream sandwich:

 

1. Cut the cooled brownie into 3-inch square pieces (or whatever shape suits you)
2. Scoop 1 or 2 scoops salted caramel onto one brownie square.  Top with crushed almonds, and cover with another brownie square.
3. Serve immediately or return to freezer to firm up.  Enjoy!
