Thanks everyone,

I will just let the kids have them with ice cream for pudding tonight, and tomorrow night too.

I was going to cut them up and freeze them, but, they are too gooey for that. the dish I baked them in is too big for the freezer and is ceramic and I dont know if its suitable for freezing.

Is the ceramic dish meant for baking in? I'm only thinking that the middle and underneath would perhaps have cooked a little better if it had been a metal container.

I've never baked in a ceramic dish myself so wouldn't really know .

Ollie, well spotted. They wouldn't cook as well in ceramic.

Hi,

I never thought about it when using the ceramic dish.

Will try it with another dish next time.

Hi

I have volunteered myself the job of making desert on Saturday for a picnic style meal. My brother wants brownies but its all I seem to make lately and I fancied something different, plus the brownies I make are not very cheap, using lots of eggs, dark chocolate and ground almonds.

Ive got the following criteria though:

My bro would like it to go with vanilla ice cream
Husband doesnt do fruit (dried is fine but not fresh really) or meringue

I have looked through recipe books but im well and truly stuck, I want it to be a cake or something but they dont really go with ice cream.

Suppose I could always make some fruit sauce for my mum and some chocolate sauce for others. What else could I make to go with it and make it more exciting? Could be a fun option but any ideas are welcome

I too am the brownie queen of my household! When I'm sick of brownies but my family still want them, the Hummingbird Bakery do a really good raspberry cheesecake brownie recipe (google it!). I know you said no fruit, but the raspberry is only in the cream on the very top, and you could always serve that separately, or leave it off and just go with the ice cream? It's a baked cheesecake topping and goes very firm, so it's very picnic friendly (I usually take a slice to work).

Hope that helps!

This one is more thrifty - cocoa instead of chocolate They come highly recommended :T
