Brownie Sundae Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes

Don't let their innocent appearance fool you- these Brownie Sundae Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes have a gooey, fudge-y, dark chocolate-y side! Add a drizzle of salted caramel sauce and they're positively sinful.

Yield: 24 servings

Ingredients:

For the Brownie Cones:

24 ice cream cones

2 1/2 cups granulated sugar

1 3/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter

4 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

For the Whipped Cream Frosting:

12 ounces cream cheese (brick)

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups heavy cream, cold

Additionally:

salted caramel and/or chocolate sauce

rainbow sprinkles

maraschino cherries, drained, rinsed, and patted dry

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and cover (2) 9x13-inch baking pans with heavy-duty foil. Cut (12) small "X's" in each of the foil covered pans, and insert an ice cream cone into each "X."

Place the sugar, cocoa, and salt in a large bowl. Stir to combine. Cut the butter into pieces and add to the bowl. Heat, either in the microwave or over a double boiler, until the butter is completely melted. Stir to combine. Add the eggs, one at a time, stirring after each addition. Stir in the vanilla and the flour. Spoon about 1/4 cup of brownie batter into each ice cream cone. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely.

Place the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl and beat on medium speed until smooth. Slowly drizzle in about 1/2 cup of the cold cream, with the mixer on medium-low speed. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula, and continue slowly adding the cold cream, while mixing on medium-low. When all the cream has been added, turn the mixer up to medium-high and whip for about a minute, or until the frosting is fluffy and stiff. (Take care not to overwhip, or the frosting could become runny.)

Top the cooled brownies with frosting. Drizzle with salted caramel and/or chocolate sauce, and garnish with sprinkles and a cherry.

You can use the store-bought stuff, but I highly recommend making this recipe. It only takes ten minutes and the payoff is HUGE!

Ingredients

1/2 cup heavy cream

2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter

anywhere from 3/4 to 1 teaspoon kosher salt (to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons light corn syrup

2 tablespoons water

Instructions

In a small pot, gently heat the cream, butter, and salt until the butter has melted and the salt has completely dissolved. Remove from heat and add the vanilla.

In a larger pot, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water. Heat over a medium high flame, swirling the pot occasionally to distribute the heat evenly.

Continue to boil the sugar mixture until the bubbles begin to get smaller and it becomes amber-colored.

Reduce the heat to low, and pour in the warm cream mixture, whisking constantly to avoid lumps or crystals.

Immediately transfer the hot mixture to a heat-safe vessel and cool completely.
