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

1. Line a 9 X 13” pan with plastic wrap
2. Place sheet of  brownies in the new, lined pan (This is VERY important or the final product will get stuck in the pan)
3. Scoop all of the ice cream on to the brownie and spread it out as flat and as even as you can get 
4. Freeze for 10 – 15 min 
5. Spread whipped cream over the ice cream 
6. Top with crushed peanut butter cups and pretzels 
7. Freeze until ready to serve
8. Using the plastic wrap, pull the “brake” out of the pan
9. Slice and enjoy
