Homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 cup butter (6oz or 170g)
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Preparation

pre-heat oven to 180 degrees.
line bottom and sides of a 9-by-13 inch pan with aluminum foil, lightly grease with some extra butter (not from ingredients).
melt butter over medium heat, whisk until just melted.
remove from heat and add cocoa powder, whisk until smooth and no lumps remain.
add sugar and continue stirring until well belnded( I turned to a spoon by this point).
let mixture cool 2 minutes.
transfer to larger bowl.
add eggs and vanilla and mix until well blended.
add flour (i sifted mine) and salt, using rubbr spatula stir until batter is blended.
scrape into prepared pan(should be quite hard as mixture doesn't run).
spread evenly and bake until toothpick comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
remove from oven and let cool completely.
using ends of foil remove from pan and set on a chopping board.
cut in half lengthwise.
spread softened ice cream evenly over one half of the brownie into a layer about 1 inch thick.
top with other half of brownie and press down gently.
wrap in foil, freeze until hard, about 6 hours.
peel away foil and cut into 8 to 10 sandwiches.
serve imediately, or store in plastic bags in freezer for up to 2 weeks.
