Instructions
For the Gluten-free brownies:
- Preheat oven at 350F. Grease and line 9×13 pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, add the flour, brown sugar, sea salt, baking powder and cocoa powder and whisk until combined. In a separate bowl, combine nut milk, egg (or vegan egg replacer), vanilla extract and coconut oil and stir.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir using a spatula, until you can’t see any flour.
- Fold in chocolate chunks. Transfer to prepared pan and sprinkle extra chocolate chunks on top (optional).
- Bake for 35 minutes until edges start to pull away from the sides. Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes before removing from pan.
- Cut into 1″ squares and freeze for 1 hour.
For the Salted Coconut Caramel
- Combine all the ingredients in a medium saucepan and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens. It’ll continue to thicken once cooled. Set aside 1 cup and refrigerate the rest for up to 1 week.
For the Caramel Brownie Ice Cream
- In a 9″x5″ loaf pan, add the first layer of the softened ice cream base. Followed by a layer of 1/3 cup of brownies, 1/3 cup marshmallows and 1/3 cup salted caramel (make swirls, carefully).
- Repeat the process until you’ve used up all the ingredients. Freeze for 4-8 hours, but preferably overnight.
- Serve on a waffle cone and top with sea salt, and extra caramel. Enjoy!
