Sizzling Brownie is a delicious melt in mouth dessert where brownie is served on a hot sizzler plate with a scoop of ice cream and topped with chocolate sauce and nuts of your choice. I have prepared brownie using Simply Sesame's vanilla with almond bits spread and homemade ice cream using pure roasted sesame flavor. I call it a 3 in 1 recipe 🙂
I decided to participate in the Simply Sesame blogger recipe challenge using their delicious creamy sesame spread. The spread comes in three delicious flavors - pure roasted sesame, vanilla with almond bits and pistachio morsels. This challenge required me to prepare a recipe using one of the flavors. I did not have to think twice before applying to this contest. I am glad that I was selected to participate in this challenge. The folks at Simple Sesame were prompt in sending me their products and following up with me during the process. It has been a pleasure collaborating with them! Do not forget to follow Simply Sesame on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, also check their website for their amazing products.
As soon as the Simply Sesame products arrived, my husband and I tried all three flavors and fell in love with each of them. The best part is you can have this spread all alone. It was finger licking good, plus these products are non-GMO, all natural, gluten free and low in cholesterol. As all three flavors were so good, I was in a fix on which one to choose for the recipe.
After much pondering, I finally decided to use 2 flavors to prepare Sizzling Brownie. Generally for sizzling brownie, a chocolate brownie is served with pure vanilla ice cream and melted chocolate. I decided to give a twist by using vanilla almond flavored sesame spread for preparing brownie and pure roasted sesame flavor for ice cream. The outcome was super hit. The brownie was rich, gooey and decadent that satisfied all our sweet cravings and the ice cream was smooth, creamy and amazingly flavorful and was prepared using only 3 ingredients.
Once the brownie is ready, all you need to do is, place a brownie slice on a hot cast iron serving plate, top it with a scoop of homemade ice cream, and garnish with chopped or sliced nuts of your choice and a generous drizzle of melted chocolate. As soon as the meted chocolate hits the hot cast iron plate it will start sizzling and create a festive atmosphere. The aroma of sizzling chocolate sauce will make you go crazy. So make sure you plate it just before you are ready to serve to impress your guests or your loved ones.
When I am really in a mood of eating a good dessert, I have this sizzling brownie as one complete meal 🙂 One of the best dessert combination. Else have one of the two after lunch or dinner.
I have given recipe below in two parts. Please do try out this amazing combination and share your comments and variations.
