Brownie Batter Ice Cream Recipe
A few weeks ago I pinned a yummilicious ice cream recipe that inspired today’s brownie batter ice cream. A die-hard Coldstone Creamery fan, cake batter ice cream has my heart, so when I contemplated using brownie mix to flavor a homemade brownie batter ice cream, I’m pretty sure the hallelujah chorus sounded!
Did I mention that this ice cream boasts an entire package of brownie mix?
I’ve seen a few other brownie batter ice cream recipes floating around the web, but none seemed to have the oomph of rich, chocolatey brownie flavor I was craving. Admittedly, I started the ice cream experiment using only half the brownie mix, but when I tasted it, the flavor resembled a chocolate malt, not brownie batter, and let’s face it, what would you do with half a package of brownie mix anyway? Logic then forced me to dump in the rest of the package and call it a day. Best. choice.ever.
Something about the addition of brownie mix to this no-cook ice cream base made it harden up perfectly in the freezer. I’ve had quite a few ice cream “fails” in the past with ice creams made without the addition of egg yolks that have solidified beyond scoopability straight from the freezer. I suppose that’s a great way to keep me from sneaking heaping spoonfuls between meals, but I like a firm-yet-scoopable consistency, and this ice cream is spot on.
If you love brownie batter, this ice cream is a must!
