Homemade Vanilla Superfudge Brownie Ice Cream

July is #NationalIceCreamMonth and I'm getting together with some foodie friends for an ice cream social so grab a spoon and dig in to all the awesome recipes we're sharing today!

 

I had a really hard time choosing my recipe for this event because I've got so many good ones saved to try. I bought all the ingredients for this Vanilla Superfudge Brownie and I set out to make it only to find out my oven was broken.

I pivoted as quickly as I could and made the brownies on our Weber propane grill. The edges got a little more done than I'd like but once I trimmed them they were perfect. I had to hide the pan so that we didn't eat them all before I got the ice cream made!


The ice cream base is super simple to make.  It does not get heated or cooked so if that's an issue you can use a pasteurized egg product. I churn my ice cream in my KitchenAid stand mixer using a specialized bowl and paddle. 

I changed up the original recipe in a few minor ways.  First, I used Taylor & Colledge Vanilla Bean Paste instead of extract.  I put some in the brownies and also in the sweet cream base. Secondly, when I added the brownies to the ice cream one cup didn't seem like enough.  I ended up using double that, plus some more for sprinkling on top.

 

 I put the ice cream into my Tovolo Glide a Scoop Tubs to freeze overnight. I love how they fit on the door of the fridge and the shape makes getting nice big scoops so easy!  I did my photos for the post at 10am and I'm not ashamed to admit that I edited them while scarfing down a cone sitting on the deck.

Author: Jolene's Recipe Journal

Ingredients

For the Superfudge Brownies:
  • 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Taylor & Colledge vanilla bean paste
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
For the Sweet Cream Base:
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 cups heavy or whipping cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon Taylor & Colledge Vanilla Bean Paste

Instructions

For the Superfudge brownies
  1. Heat oven to 350. Melt chocolate and butter over a double boiler or in the microwave until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  2. Beat eggs and salt together until fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Gradually add in sugar and vanilla bean paste. Add chocolate mixture until well incorporated. Slowly fold in flour, being careful not to deflate the batter.
  3. Coat a 13x9 baking pan with cooking spray. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely.
  4. Chop 2 cups of brownie pieces and place them in a covered bowl in the freezer for at least an hour before adding to the ice cream.
For the ice cream
  1. Prepare the sweet cream base. Whisk the eggs until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in sugar, a little at a time until completely blended. Pour in cream, milk, and vanilla bean paste and whisk to blend.
  2. Pour into your ice cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions. Once ice cream stiffens, add 2 cups of chopped brownies and continue to freeze to desired texture.

Notes

I churned mine using a KitchenAid ice cream maker attachment for about 25 minutes, added the chopped brownies and then ran it about 5 minutes more. I moved the ice cream to airtight containers and put it in the freezer overnight.

    Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

    I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home.  I started with the whites of six eggs. You can use pasturized whites if you don't want to do the whole separating, finding a use for the yolks thing.  I beat them up with some salt and pepper.   Next up, the tomato and spinach.  I used grape tomatoes, seeded them and then chopped them into 1/4" pieces. I like baby spinach, and I took about 10 leaves and chopped those up into 1/4" pieces as well. I added that to the egg mixture.  When you pour it into the pans, be sure that it all gets evenly distributed. They bake up pretty quickly, around 9 minutes or so.  Dunkin gives you two egg bites, the mini donut serving size is three. I pop them in ziplocs in the fridge and just pull a bag and reheat them in the microw...

    Stuffed Waffles

    I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious! I'd seen videos floating around TikTok and Instagram of people making stuffed waffles so I hopped over to Amazon and ordered the Elite Gourmet version.  The instructions were fairly straightforward but there was no recipe so I made up a batch of Classic Waffle batter. Then I scoured the fridge for things to stuff them with.    First up, some leftover taco meat from the previous night and Fiesta blend cheese,  pepperoni and mozzarella cheese and lastly some strawberries and cream cheese.   For the taco stuffed I added the taco meat and cheese in the middle and then set out some salsa and sour cream to top them with.  Learning curve lesson 1- make sure your ingredients are all room temp before you start, they will bake much quicker....

    Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

    Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband. Super simple.  Beat up some eggs with salt and pepper.  Add in some shredded cheddar and a slice of bacon cut into 1/4" pieces (I used kitchen shears).  Bake them for about 9 minutes in sprayed mini donut pans. They baked up light and fluffy.  The bacon stayed crisp and there's just the perfect amount of cheese.   I split them up into portions in zip top bags and that way we can just grab a bag and warm them up. My husband laughed when I told him 3 is the serving size.  I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time!
