Brownie à la Mode | Byron Talbott

Today I'm keeping it simple and sweet. I'm going to show you how to make a toasty brownie with a good old fashioned scoop of vanilla ice cream right on top. So to get things started, grab a mixing bowl, add some melted butter to it, followed by some white sugar, a whole cracked egg, and then just give it a good mix until everything is dissolved and thoroughly combined. After that, you're going to add a pinch of salt to the mixture, followed by some cake flour and some good old cocoa powder. You can also add some melted chocolate at this stage if you want a darker brownie mix. Continue to whisk this for another 3-5 minutes, just until all the dry ingredients have absorbed into the wet mixture and it's free of any large lumps. Alright, so once the brownie mix is done, you're going to start ladling a few scoops straight inside your small baking container, just until it reaches about halfway up the sides of that container. Once that's done, you're going to start leveling it off with a few pats on the counter and a little bit of elbow grease, and then you're going to throw it into a 375 degree oven for approximately 10-15 minutes. Okay, so it's been about 10 minutes, and I'm just going to pull it out, see how it is. Mine's looking pretty good, so I'm just going to let this rest for at least 10 minutes just to take that initial warmth off of the brownie, especially since I'm putting ice cream straight on top. Next, I'm going to pull out my homemade vanilla ice cream, which is linked in the description box below, so check that out, and then put a really nice scoop of ice cream straight on top. And that's it, guys. That's how you make, what I like to call, a brownie a la mode. So there it is, the brownie a la mode. I am pretty stoked to try this out. Looks absolutely delicious, nice and warm and toasty, but I'm really happy to dig into that nice, cool, creamy ice cream with a little hint of vanilla. So let me dig in and tell you guys how I did. Now the mark to a good brownie is the crust. The crust has to be a little crunchy. Oh my goodness, oop, I lost some of the ice cream. Oh, oh my gosh, okay. Especially the outer edges, oh, so good. You know, I definitely recommend you guys picking one of these cast iron stoves up or just a few of them because it's just a nice little serving dish, especially for an array of desserts and even hot dishes, like little side dishes and stuff like that. So I'll have this in the description box below, along with the vanilla ice cream recipe because I didn't have that in this video, and of course the brownie recipe, so make sure you guys check that out. Hope you guys try this out and share this with your friends and family, and I'll see you guys next time with another delicious recipe. Bye everybody.
