| Yield: | 12 cupcakes |
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 sticks (5 ounces) unsalted butter, softened and cut into pieces
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped
- 2/3 cup boiling water
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup finely chopped toasted walnuts
- 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream
- 1/4 cup prepared hot fudge sauce
- 2 tablespoons rainbow colored sprinkles
- 12 jarred maraschino cherries with stems, drained and patted dry
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line one 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, combine the butter, cocoa powder and chocolate. Pour the boiling water over and let stand 5 minutes. Whisk until smooth, and then whisk in the sugar, vanilla and eggs. Whisk in the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda until just combined. Fold in the walnuts and chocolate chips. Divide the batter among the prepared liners so they are about three-quarters full.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, 22 to 24 minutes. Cool in the tins 5 minutes, and then cool completely on a wire rack.
- While the cupcakes bake and cool, scoop 12 small scoops of ice cream onto a large plate or baking sheet and place in the freezer until hard.
- To assemble, scoop off a small piece of the cupcake to make a concave top, and then top each cupcake with a scoop of ice cream. Drizzle the ice cream with hot fudge, and top with some sprinkles and a cherry.

SOOOO GOOOD
Awesome
I really liked it but the outside was chewy. I do think that the inside is very rich and creamy. Tip:do not use chocolate with peanuts in it.
From the name, I thought it was going to be more like a thick, chewy brownie texture… but, it turned out just like another chocolate cake recipe. It was very good, and the kids enjoyed the ice cream on top, but not sure why the word “brownie” is in the name.
It was very rich and very nice.
