Brownie Ingredients

Ice Cream Ingredients

Method

Brownie Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the brownies bake evenly.

  2. 2

    Melt the Butter

    In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat once melted.

  3. 3

    Mix Sugars and Eggs

    Add 2 cups of granulated sugar and 1 cup of brown sugar to the melted butter, stirring until well combined. Then, add in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

  4. 4

    Add Vanilla

    Stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until fully mixed.

  5. 5

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of cocoa powder, 0.5 teaspoons of salt, and 0.5 teaspoons of baking powder together.

  6. 6

    Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

  7. 7

    Add Chocolate Chips

    Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips into the brownie batter.

  8. 8

    Prepare the Baking Pan

    Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

  9. 9

    Bake the Brownies

    Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

  10. 10

    Cool the Brownies

    Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving Directions
