I don’t normally eat dessert, but when I do it contains the elements of hot and cold working in perfect culinary bliss. This combination is usually created using warm pastry and cold ice cream. Pies, cakes, brownies, and cookies are the usual suspects that get the ice cream treatment. And, after I made a trip to the fresh baked goods and spotted these delicious Maple Walnut Blondies, I had to find it’s complement. Making my way to the frozen section, I had my mind made up on vanilla ice cream. However, I spied a new product that I couldn’t possibly pass up as it sounded like the perfect thing for those blonde brownies.
So, this kinda thing is super simple. First, take one of these delicious maple walnut brownies and place it in a microwave safe bowl and nuke for 15 seconds. Then, get two heaping scoops of the creamy pecan pie flavored ice cream and dig in.
It’s disgustingly good. The brownies are moist and contain large chunks of walnuts. They are swirled with plenty of rich, sweet maple flavor. As the warm brownie mixes with the creamy, melted ice cream, it’s complete bliss. The ice cream is reminiscent of pecan praline with the difference being pieces of pie crust scattered in the mix. There may not be a better pairing when it comes to ice cream and pastry. It’s almost as if these two products were made for each other, although, quite good on their own. FORK! I think I may have just made myself another bowl.
