Brownie ice cream bites are perfect sweet treats to keep in the freezer to grab and snack on when chocolate cravings strike. Once you’ve made them, you’ll never want to be without them.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a mini cupcake pan with nonstick spray.
  2. Combine the brownie mix, egg and vegetable oil in a bowl until well combined. (Some lumps are fine.) Fold in 2 ounces of the chopped chocolate until evenly mixed through.
  3. Scoop the batter into the cupcake pan, filling each cup two-thirds of the way. Bake until cooked through, 12 to 13 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, melt the remaining 4 ounces chocolate with the coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second increments until melted and smooth, stirring each time. Set aside to cool to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes.
  5. Remove the brownies from the oven. While the brownies are still hot, press the back of a spoon into the top of each, creating an indentation. Set aside and let cool in the pan to room temperature, 30 to 45 minutes.
  6. Transfer the brownie bites to a sheet pan. Top each with a mounded tablespoon scoop of cherry ice cream. Immediately top with 1/2 teaspoon melted chocolate. Quickly repeat with the remaining brownie bites, ice cream and melted chocolate. Move to the freezer for 1 hour to set. Transfer to an airtight container and return to the freezer until ready to eat. Enjoy whenever a sweet treat is needed!
