Brandy and coke brownie sandwiches

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (250g) butter, cubed
• 2 slabs (100g each) dark chocolate
• 1⅔ cups (333g) castor sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1¼ cups (190g) flour
• ⅓ cup (40g) cocoa powder
• Pinch salt
• ⅗ cup (150ml) Coke
• ⅖ cup (100ml) brandy
• ½ tub (1L) vanilla ice cream, for serving

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
2. Melt butter, chocolate and castor sugar together until smooth.
3. Whisk in eggs one at a time, combining well before the next addition.
4. Sift in flour and cocoa, and add salt.
5. Combine Coke and brandy and stir into batter.
6. Pour into a 23x18cm lined ovenproof dish.
7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, being careful not to overbake. Cool completely.
8. Cut 9 squares from brownie base – a bread knife works best. 
9. Slice each square across the middle in two to create a sandwich.
10. Unmould ice cream from the container and cut into squares the same size as the brownie blocks. (Alternatively, simply use an ice-cream scoop.)
11. Sandwich ice cream between brownie slices.
