Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Follow the instructions on the back of the brownie mix box (or your favorite homemade brownie recipe) to mix all of your brownie ingredients together.
Prepare your mini muffin pan by coating it with non-stick spray.
Scoop one heaping tablespoon of brownie batter into each mini muffin cup. If you have excess batter you will need to bake a second batch after the first comes out of the oven. See note 1 below.
Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. See note 2 below.
When the brownies come out of the oven let them cool for about 5 minutes then use a tamper, or a 1 teaspoon measuring spoon to press down in the center of each brownie bite creating an indention in the middle.
Let the brownies cool completely.
Once cooled use a 1 teaspoon measuring spoon to scoop the ice cream into a ball and place it in the middle of the brownie.
Add any of your favorite toppings and serve immediately.
Notes
Depending on the brownie mix or recipe that you use you may have leftover batter after you fill your muffin pan. If so you’ll need to bake a second batch after the first are done. If you have any empty muffin cups fill them with a tablespoon of water to help everything bake evenly.
Make sure these are completely baked before removing them from the oven. It is better to err on the side of slightly overbaking than underbaking.
