Ingredients

Amaretto Brownie Ingredients:

  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup amaretto
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Strawberry Cream Cheese Ice Cream

  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 2 - 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons strawberry preserves

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8x8 baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together butter and cocoa powder. Whisk in sugar. Whisk in eggs 1 at a time. Whisk in vanilla extract and amaretto. Fold in flour and salt. Mix just until combined.
  • Spread batter into prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 30 - 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few crumbs.
