Instruction

  • <p>Combine the ice-cream and chopped chocolate-covered honeycomb in a bowl. Pour into a 20cm x 30cm tray lined with plastic wrap and place in the freezer to set, preferably overnight.</p> <p>Remove from the freezer and allow to soften slightly before using a&nbsp; round 15cm cookie cutter to cut discs of ice-cream. Working quickly, repeat across the ice-cream slab then cover each round in plastic wrap and return to the freezer until ready to serve.</p> <p>Preheat oven to 180C (160C fan-forced). Grease a 20cm x 30cm baking tray and line with baking paper.</p> <p>Place butter and chocolate in a&nbsp;heatproof&nbsp;bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and stir until melted.&nbsp;Stir in egg, sugar, flour, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt until just combined. Pour into prepared tray and bake for 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out with moist crumbs clinging. Set aside to cool completely. Using a 15cm cookie cutter, cut circles from the slab of brownie.&nbsp;</p> <p>Remove the ice-cream rounds from the freezer and working quickly, place a round of ice-cream onto each brownie circle. Top each with the&nbsp;crystallised&nbsp;violets and crushed honeycomb before serving immediately.</p>
