Serves 8
INGREDIENTS
200g butter, roughly diced
150g dark chocolate – 70% cocoa, roughly chopped
3 eggs, lightly beaten
11/2 cups brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla essence
1 cup plain flour
2 x 1 litre tubs good quality vanilla ice cream
2 x 130g bags honey comb, (1 pkt cut into 1cm pieces and the other bag for serving)
Chocolate fudge sauce
200g dark chocolate, roughly chopped
100ml cream
2 tablespoons agave syrup or light corn syrup
METHOD
1 Preheat oven to 180ºC (360ºF). Grease and line a 20 x 30cm slice pan.
2 Combine the butter and chocolate in a small saucepan over a low heat and stir until butter and chocolate have melted. Set aside and allow to cool.
3 Combine eggs, sugar and vanilla essence in a bowl and add the cooled chocolate mixture. Place the flour into a mixing bowl. Pour in the chocolate mixture and stir until just combined.
4 Pour into the prepared slice pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked when tested. Allow to cool completely in the pan.
5 Remove from the pan and cut a circle using a 20cm spring form pan as a guide. Grease and line the spring form pan, ensuring the lining extends at least 5cm above the rim of the pan. Place the circle of brownie in the base, set aside.
6 Soften the ice cream and tip into a large mixing bowl. Cut up the remaining fudge brownie into 1cm pieces and mix that with the chopped honeycomb through the softened ice cream.
7 Pour over the fudge brownie base in the spring form pan and place in the freezer for 6 hours or overnight.
8 Unmold and serve with Chocolate fudge sauce and extra honeycomb.
