Ingredients

950mL Pana Organic Madagascan Vanilla Bean Frozen Treat

1 cup frozen pitted cherries, halved

2 pkt Green's Chocolate Brownies Mix

4 eggs

160g Nuttelex Buttery Table Spread, melted

Directions

Step 1

Grease and line three 5cm deep, 20cm square cake pans with baking paper, extending paper 2cm above the edge on all sides.

Step 2

Spoon frozen treat into a large bowl. Set aside for 2 minutes until softened (but not melted). Add cherries and gently fold to combine. Spoon mixture into 1 prepared pan. Spread out evenly, then smooth top. Freeze for 4 hours or until firm.

Step 3

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Place brownie mix, eggs and spread in a large bowl. Mix with a wooden spoon until combined. Divide mixture among remaining prepared pans. Spread out evenly and smooth tops. Bake for 30 minutes or until brownies are set. Cool completely in pans.

Step 4

Remove brownies from pans. Place 1 brownie on a chopping board. Working quickly, remove frozen treat from pan and place on top of the brownie. Sandwich with the remaining brownie, gently pressing to secure. Cut the prepared slice into twelve 5x7cm pieces. Serve immediately or return to freezer.
