Michigan Cherry Fudge Brownies with Cherry Chocolate Ice Cream Brownies

Ingredients to make chocolate cherry brownie ice cream.

Here’s a recipe that brings together both iconic and newer Michigan brand favorites.

We made these this weekend and they were absolutely delicious! 🍒

Ice cream and brownie in a small white and blue bowl.

Brownie Ingredients & Directions:

2 boxes JIFFY Mix fudge brownie mix 2 eggs (we were lucky to have local farm eggs this weekend)
4 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 tablespoons cherry juice (water will work well too!)
3/4 cup Cherry Bay Orchards Cherries Jubilee cut into pieces
Mix the first four ingredients with a whisk or fork until everything is well incorporated.
Add in the cherry pieces and give it a good stir to distribute evenly.
Bake according to package directions.

Ice cream ingredients & Directions:

1 can COLD sweetened condensed milk
2 cups COLD heavy cream (we like Guernsey Farms Dairy)
3/4 cup Cherry Bay Orchards cherries jubilee pieces 3/4 cup Alpine Chocolat Haus Gaylord fudge (cut or pulled into small pieces)
With your stand mixer or a hand mixer, beat the cold sweetened condensed milk until it doubles in volume.
Add in the cold heavy cream and beat until it looks like firm whipped cream.
Fold in the fudge and cherry pieces.
Spoon into freezer safe containers and freeze for at least eight hours.

To Serve:

If the brownies have cooled down, I like to put them in the microwave for about 12 seconds to warm them up just a little bit.
Place one brownie in each bowl and add a generous scoop of the ice cream on top. You may need to let the ice cream thaw on the counter for a few minutes to easily scoop it. I didn’t have any on hand this weekend, but a drizzle of Sanders On Mackinac hot fudge would make this even more delicious!

Note: I’ve been making ice cream for a lot of decades now. Think back to the 70s in the backyard yard hand churning with rock salt. 😂 I love my electric ice cream maker. But I have to say, this is the easiest ice cream I’ve ever made in my life. And just about anybody can make it without specialized equipment. I hope you all try this and enjoy what happens when we bring amazing Michigan brands and ingredients together! 🤤
