Double Chocolate Brownie Bites with Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream

Freeze the bowl of your ice cream maker with paddle for at least 6 hours in advance. Note: Recipe will make 1 1/2 quarts of ice cream, so be sure to use a bowl with at least that capacity!

Mix all ingredients for ice cream together in a large bowl or liquid measuring cup and refrigerate until cold.

Assemble ice cream maker (with frozen bowl) and turn on. Pour ice cream base into machine and churn it for 15-20 minutes. Then scoop ice cream out into a large container and freeze until ready to serve with brownies.

To make brownies, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray 24 mini muffin tins with non stick cooking spray and set aside.

Melt butter and bittersweet chocolate in a saucepan over medium low heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar. Stir in vanilla and egg. Add in all dry ingredients and slowly mix to incorporate. Spoon batter into prepared pan and bake 8 minutes. Let cool 2 minutes, remove, and top with prepared ice cream. Add sprinkles or any other toppings desired and serve immediately.
