You’ve heard of the brookie. You’ve marveled at the pizookie. Now, without further ado, we present the brake (okay, maybe we need to work on the name a little bit); part brownie and part ice cream cake. This innovation combines all of our dessert crushes - brownies, peanut butter, Coolhaus ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate-covered pretzels, and peanut butter cups. To quote the epic Lizzie Mcguire, “this is what dreams are made of”.
Make it for your Summer kick-off BBQ, your kids last day of school, your Westworld viewing party, or just to #TREATYOSELF. Get creative and make it #AsAwesomeAsYouAre by using your favorite Coolhaus ice cream, favorite candy, and favorite brownies. Here are a few ideas we had:
Cream Cheese Swirled Brownies + Farmer’s Market Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream + Strawberries
Brown Butter Blondies + Street Cart Churro Dough Ice Cream + Chocolate Chips & Cinnamon
Malted Milk Brownies + Milkshake and Fries Ice Cream + Malt Balls & Shoestring Fries
You Will Need:
- 1 13” X 9” tray of your favorite brownies, baked and cooled (we like to swirl ours with ¼ of peanut butter before baking)
- 4 Pints of Coolhaus Midnight Munchies Ice Cream, softened (just pull the ice cream out of the freezer 15 minutes before topping the brownie)
- 2 cups Fresh Whipped Cream or Whipped Topping
- ½ cup Peanut Butter Cups
- ½ cup Chocolate-Covered Pretzels, crushed
Directions
- Line a 9 X 13” pan with plastic wrap
- Place sheet of brownies in the new, lined pan (This is VERY important or the final product will get stuck in the pan)
- Scoop all of the ice cream on to the brownie and spread it out as flat and as even as you can get
- Freeze for 10 - 15 min
- Spread whipped cream over the ice cream
- Top with crushed peanut butter cups and pretzels
- Freeze until ready to serve
- Using the plastic wrap, pull the “brake” out of the pan
- Slice and enjoy
