Mint-Fudge Ice Cream with Brownie Pieces

Tracy Byrne

The. Best. Thing. I. Have. Ever. Possibly. Made. Period!  That's all I should write, but I have about 5 more pictures I would like to show you!

After my failed brownies, I was a little upset because I hate waste and throwing away food.  As I cut around the edges trying to salvage some of the brownies, a thought hit me - why don't I fold the pieces into ice cream!  Awesome idea!!!

Then, as I continued my thinking, I thought about how much better the brownies would be in mint ice cream.  You see, one of my very favorite foods in the entire world is from a little dessert restaurant called The Chocolate Room in Park Slope.  They have a brownie sundae and you choose the flavor of ice cream.  I choose the mint, always.  The mint ice cream is not fake minty, it tastes like mint leaves.  Add this on top of a rich brownie with some decadent fudge sauce and you have yourself a major dose of awesomeness!

Have you ever played the game where you discuss the last food you would eat before you were executed?  You play that game, right?  Anyway, the brownie sundae is always on my list!

So I did it.  I recreated one of my favorite foods at home.  The secret is seeping the mint for a long time.  I started by seeping for about 15 minutes, but then I sort of forgot and let the cream/mint mixture seep for about 30 minutes.  Use a lot of mint, it is strained out at the end, so the more mint, the more seeping, the great intensity of deliciousness.  The mint ice cream stands on its own, but adding the brownie pieces and fudge sauce is a game changer.  It's an entire dessert in one scoop.  I can't wait to make this again!
