Ingredients
For the brownies:
- ½ cup (118ml) vegetable oil
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- ⅔ cup (54g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) water
- ½ cup (62g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips
For the ice cream:
- ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons (34g) peanut butter
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups whipped topping or fresh whipped cream
- ¾ cup peanut butter cups chopped (about 12 miniature Reese’s)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8 or 9×9 pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
- Stir oil, sugar, cocoa, eggs, vanilla, and water until smooth. Stir in flour, then stir in chocolate chips. Spread in prepared pan and bake for 23-26 minutes until they just start to loose their glossy sheen. (I like mine a little under done.) Cool completely before continuing.
- Stir together sweetened condensed milk, peanut butter, vanilla, and whipped topping. Stir in peanut butter cups.
- Use foil to carefully remove the entire sheet of brownies from the pan. Line the same pan with plastic wrap, making sure that the plastic overhangs the edges and that the plastic comes up the sides of the pan all the way.
- Remove the foil from the brownies and place the brownie slab carefully back in the pan, on top of the plastic. Spread ice cream mixture on top. Wrap up the plastic wrap, adding more as needed, to completely cover the ice cream layer. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving. Store in freezer.
Recipe Notes
- You may use a box mix or my homemade brownie mix for an 8×8 or 9×9 pan if you prefer.
Um, that might just be the best looking dessert I’ve ever seen and I really want some right now. Brownies and ice cream is my dessert of choice forever and always, adding peanut butter just takes it over the top! 🙂
My husband lives peanut butter desserts too but he would definitely eat more than one bite.
Hope Mel had a happy birthday! Man, I bet he did by the looks of these brownies!
Why are our husbands so strange? I mean dessert should be devoured by the plateful not one bite!!!! I do not know how Mel or my hubby have the self-control to just have one taste and be done! It’s crazy…I think they are aliens to tell the truth! I love everything about these brownies. The fudgey brownie, the peanut butter ice cream, and of course the Reese’s…I’ll take 2 huge pieces please. Because obviously I’m not an alien. LOL!
Oh my goodness, this will be the death of me!
