For serving:
- A drizzle of dairy free chocolate sauce (I used Choc Shot)
- Handful of cherries
To make the brownies:
- Line a 13 by 9 inch shallow baking tin with tinfoil leaving the edges over the tin so the brownie can be easily lifted out the pan
- Preheat the oven to 180 oC
- In a small pan or in the microwave, melt together the chocolate and the dairy free spread
- Leave aside to cool
- Beat together the eggs, sugar and vanilla extract
- Stir the chocolate mixture, flour and xanthan gum
- Pour into the pan and bake in the centre of the oven for 30 minutes
- Leave in the pan to cool
- Carefully lift out the pan and slice into squares
To make the ice-cream:
- Whip the egg yolks, vanilla and sugar together until thick and creamy
- Place the milk and cream into a medium sized saucepan and bring to the boil
- Add the milk to the eggs and sugar while stirring continuously
- Return to the pan and cook over a low heat until thickened
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool
- Chill in the fridge
- Churn in an ice-cream maker for 20 minutes or place in the freezer for four hours
To assemble:
- Slice each brownie into small cubes
- Layer up ice-cream, cherries and cubes of brownie
- Top with a cherry and a drizzle of chocolate sauce
