Today is the big day and you can’t say that we didn’t prepare you for it.
We’ve offered up 14 chocolate recipes ranging from classic to unique.
Some were creamy, some were crunchy. Some were hot, some were cold.
There were easy desserts that can be made in minutes. Others are best described as a labor of love…
The 14th and final dessert in our chocolate countdown to Valentine’s Day is for heart-shaped brownie ice cream sandwiches.
And truth be told, the one I made was actually inspired by several recipes.
So here’s how you do it...
1. Bake one box of brownie mix using the “fudgy” rather than “cake-like” directions. Use a 13 X 9 inch dish to make the brownies thinner and cook them about 10 minutes less.
2. Cool the brownies completely and then use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out as many brownies as you can from the pan. Soften some ice cream – whatever flavor you want – and spread it on one of the brownies. Top the ice cream with another brownie heart and press to adhere.
3.Take a knife and smooth the ice cream around the edges.
4. Now here’s the fun part: Work fast so the ice cream does not melt and roll the ice cream in whatever suits your fancy. I used some mini cinnamon chips. But other options include chopped nuts, toasted coconut, crushed cinnamon candies, crushed candy canes, sprinkles, etc.
5. Put them in the freezer to set up before you serve them. If they are going to be in there more than a few hours you can wrap them in wax paper or place them in a freezer bag.
Happy Valentine's Day!
