Brownie Cookies with Salted Caramel Creme Filling

This is Donna Hay’s brownie cookie recipe. I have been eye-balling this for sometime now every since I saw it on Pinterest. The cookie portion is dead-on like the kind of brownie I like—soft center, chewy edge, and chocolatey, but not so dense and fudge like that you need to guzzle milk to clear your throat of a chocolate coating. At the center of this brownie sandwich cookie is a caramel creme filling that lightens up the chocolate and gives the whole ensemble a cloud-like textural contrast.

So with Father’s Day today it was perfect timing. Matt loves brownies and since I’ve made him a salted dessert lover, especially salted caramel, I swapped the peanut butter filling for just that—a salted caramel creme filling.

Black and White Brownie Ice Cream Cake

Load this ice cream cake with your favorite brownie and you will have everyone in line waiting for seconds. To cut down on the prep time, I softened Dreyers ice cream and then layered the flavors into a loaf pan and filled the vanilla portion with some of these brownies that I froze from my last batch.

I should have made homemade chocolate and vanilla ice cream, but hate to admit it – I was tired. The idea for the this cake has been sitting in my freezer for a few weeks now.

So after the brownies kept falling out every time the freezer door opened, I decided Dreyers was going to save me from complete laziness.

Chocolate Mousse Brownie Bites

Chocolate Mousse Brownie Bites ~ A soft and chewy brownie bite piled with a light chocolate mousse.

A chocolate love fest meets debauchery? Perhaps to some but I love every bit of it.

It started with a simple request for a basic brownie, to quote the requestor, “Can you make straightforward brownie-no candy bar chopped and piled on top, no crushed cookies tucked in the center, no cream cheese top, just a plain brownie?”

As evident by the picture, I’m sure we can all agree I’m not a very good listener-kind of. I did in fact make the brownies as requested for the family and then choc-la-fied them some more with mousse to what you see in the picture.

I usually like my brownie warmed and with a scoop of ice cream. This time around I wanted to try something lighter like a mousse and . . .I may never go back. Okay, a wee-bit of an exaggeration, since I love ice cream.

But what I did like about the mousse was it provided a textural break with its lightness while smoothing out the richness of the chocolate for a more even bite. Continue reading Chocolate Mousse Brownie Bites
