I have a special treat for you today, Toffee Ice Cream Brownie Bars. I made this dessert a few weeks ago for a dinner party and it is my new favorite dessert. Hands down the best dessert I’ve made this summer. You can’t go wrong with brownies, ice cream, and toffee. All of my favorites! And the best part? You can make this in advance so it is perfect for summer entertaining. I think I need to keep a pan in our freezer at ALL times!
I know ice cream cakes are popular, but I am really not a cake fan so I decided to try the “cake” idea with brownies. I am a huge brownie and ice cream fan. If a restaurant has a brownie and ice cream dessert on the menu, you better believe I am ordering dessert!
So instead of making a cake, I made a pan of my favorite fudgy brownies. I let the brownies cool and then worked on the ice cream “frosting.” I let a carton of vanilla ice cream soften on the counter and then I stirred in Heath chunks, my favorite candy bar. I frosted the brownies with the toffee ice cream. Ice cream frosting is a good thing. Trust me on this one!
I let the Toffee Ice Cream Brownie Bars hangout in the freezer until our dinner party the next day. When it was dessert time, I cut the dessert into squares and drizzled a little Salted Caramel Sauce on top because why not? I will warn you, the bars are a beast to cut. Make sure you run a sharp knife under hot water in between each cut. I got a workout cutting the bars and was wondering if all of the work to get them out of the pan was even worth it, but after one bite, I was in dessert heaven. The bars maybe hard to cut and a little messy to eat, but they are DIVINE! I can’t even describe the goodness! Everyone at the dinner party licked their plates clean. It made doing the dishes super easy:) Toffee Ice Cream Brownie Bars are a MUST make this summer. And June is National Dairy Month which means you can eat ice cream all day, every day! I know I am going to get more than my fair share of dairy this month thanks to this decadent ice cream dessert! It is dangerous that I can keep a pan in my freezer at all times because every time I walk by I want to enjoy a little…or a lot of dessert! I am living in the danger zone! You should too!
