Ingredients

  • 1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened
  • 1 cup frozen raspberries
  • 8 tbsp (1 stick) butter, chopped
  • 7 oz semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 None eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 5 oz milk chocolate, chopped coarsely
  • None None Powdered sugar, for dusting

Method

  • Line a deep 9-inch round cake pan with plastic wrap, extending the wrap enough at the sides so it will cover the pan.
  • Combine the ice cream and raspberries in a medium bowl. Spoon the ice cream into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Fold the plastic wrap over to enclose the ice cream. Freeze for 3 hours or until firm.
  • Once firm, remove the ice cream from the pan, still wrapped in plastic and place on a tray. Return to the freezer.
  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease the same cake pan and line the bottom and side with parchment paper.
  • Stir the butter, semi-sweet chocolate and sugar in a medium saucepan on low heat until smooth. Cool for 10 mins.
  • Stir the egg, sifted flour and milk chocolate into the chocolate mixture. Spread into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for about 30 mins. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
  • Split the brownie in half crosswise. Sandwich the raspberry ice cream between the brownie rounds. Dust with sifted powdered sugar and serve immediately. Top with fresh raspberries, if desired.
