Equipment

  • 6 Popsicle sticks

Ingredients

Brownie Base

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons any milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Ice Cream Filling

  • 1 cup thick Greek-style yogurt
  • 1/4 cup protein or collagen peptides powder
  • 2 tablespoons any milk
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips to fold in

Magic Chocolate Shell

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Instructions

  • Line a cupcake pan with smooth paper liners. Or use a silicone muffin pan.
    Make magic chocolate shell.
    Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in small dish and microwave with 20 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.
    Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.
    Stir and paint the inside of each cupcake liner, drawing it up the sides about 1 inch with a spoon. Save half of the melted chocolate for the top.

Brownie Base

  • To a bowl, add brownie base ingredients and stir into a sticky dough. Press the dough into the cups and spread out evenly with the back of a spoon.
    Note:
    If your brownie base is too dry, add a splash more milk. If it is too wet, add more flour or cocoa or a mix of both.

Ice Cream Filling

  • Blend the ice cream ingredients until smooth. Fold in chocolate chips. Spoon onto the brownie bases.
    Quick freeze to add topping. Freeze or refrigerate for 20-30 minutes or until just firm enough for the chocolate topping.
    Remelt chocolate if necessary and add to the top of each brownie cup along with popsicle sticks.
    Freeze: for 1 hour and serve while ice cream center is still soft. Freezing longer will result in a frozen hard treat so you will have to defrost.
    Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
