Recipe: Amazing Almost Instant Warm Brownies and Ice Cream (microwave)
Desserts - Cookies, Brownies, BarsAMAZING ALMOST INSTANT WARM BROWNIES AND ICE CREAM
"In general, I disapprove of microwave baking because the microwave can't produce a crisp exterior or beautiful brown crust. This recipe is the exception. The warm, soft brownies provide the perfect base for slowly melting ice cream. A warning - these brownies must be eaten warm (for most chocolate lovers this shouldn't be a problem); like a lot of food cooked in the microwave, they will become rock-hard if allowed to cool."
Nonstick vegetable cooking spray
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup flour
1 pint ice cream, softened slightly
Lightly coat an 8x8-inch glass baking dish with the vegetable spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the butter, eggs and vanilla. Stir in the sugar, cocoa powder and flour until combined.
Scrape the batter into the prepared dish. Microwave on high power until a toothpick inserted in the center withdraws clean, 4 to 7 minutes, depending on the power and size of the oven. Transfer the dish to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes.
Cut the brownies into 12 squares. Place 2 squares in each of 6 dessert bowls. Top with a scoop of ice cream and serve immediately.
Makes 6 servings
