âEach time I make brownies, half the batch goes to friends and the rest ends up in this ice cream, says Agnes. For crunch, I sometimes add a half-cup of chopped nuts.â Ingredients:
3 cups half-and-half cream |
3/4 cup sugar, divided |
3 tablespoons baking cocoa |
6 egg yolks |
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped |
1 package fudge brownie mix (8-inch square pan size) |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, heat cream to 175°; stir in 1/2 cup sugar until dissolved. In a bowl, combine cocoa and remaining sugar; whisk in egg yolks until smooth. Whisk in a small amount of hot cream mixture. Return all to the pan, whisking constantly. Cook and stir over low heat until mixture reaches at least 160° and coats the back of a metal spoon.
2. Remove from the heat; stir in chocolate until melted. Cool quickly by placing pan in a bowl of ice water; let stand for 30 minutes, stirring frequently.
3. Transfer to a bowl; press plastic wrap onto surface of custard. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
4. Prepare and bake brownies according to package directions. Cool on a wire rack; cut into 1/2-in. cubes.
5. Fill cylinder of ice cream freezer two-thirds full with custard; freeze according to manufacturerâs directions. Stir in half of the brownie cubes. Refrigerate remaining custard until ready to freeze. Add remaining brownies. When ice cream is frozen, transfer to a freezer container; freeze for 2-4 hours before serving. Yield: about 1-1/2 quarts.
