Ingredients
  

  • 1 box Enjoy Life Foods Brownie Mix (or your favorite brownie mix)
  • 2 tablespoons melted dairy-free butter
  • 3/4 cup dairy-free milk
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 2 pints vanilla flavored dairy-free ice cream, softened (or 4 cups dairy-free whipped cream for a lighter version)
  • 1/2 cup Enjoy Life Foods Mega Chunks, melted and cooled
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1/2 cup crushed candy canes

Method
 

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine brownie mix, melted dairy-free butter, dairy-free milk, and peppermint extract.
  3. Scoop batter into the prepared pan and spread until even. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the center is set.
  4. Let brownie cool completely. Once cool, add softened vanilla ice cream to the top and spread until even.
  5. For the chocolate sauce, melt chocolate chunks in 30-second intervals until smooth, stirring between each interval. Stir in 1 tablespoon oil.
  6. Drizzle chocolate sauce over the ice cream layer and sprinkle with crushed candy canes.
  7. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm before serving.

Notes

- Ensure your dairy-free butter and milk are at room temperature to prevent the brownie batter from seizing.
- For a clean slice, warm your knife under hot water and wipe it clean between each cut.
- If the ice cream layer is too hard, let the cake sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving for easier cutting and a creamier texture.
- To store, cover the cake tightly with plastic wrap and foil; it will keep in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Allow it to thaw slightly before serving.
