Strangely, the longer these live in my freezer (where they are eaten by me one 1" square at a time) the more I love them. Eating the brownies frozen seems to completely eliminate the dryness issues. I bet the party guests loved these!<br /><br />The ice cream looks fabulous as well! Definitely need to give that one a try.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06859210460017421539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034743878261895543.post-24277679087403391772009-09-08T08:56:14.699-04:002009-09-08T08:56:14.699-04:00The brownie layer was a bummer for me too.

I'm so glad you liked the coffee ice cream!
