It’s been ages since I posted a recipe, so I thought I would share the divine dessert we had the other night. I started with a box of Ghiradelli Hot Fudge Brownie Mix ($2.19 at Target, $3.69 at Safeway) and baked hot fresh brownies. I also picked up a raspberry sorbet on sale for $2.50. After I let the brownie cool just a bit, you spoon a couple tablespoons of sorbet on the side. The hot fudge plays off of the raspberry sorbet beautifully.
To bring it up a notch, there’s a recipe on the box to change your brownies into a chocolate torte. While it calls for a little orange zest, I also like to substitute the 1/4 cup of water with Grand Marnier or another orange liquor.
For health considerations, portion a smaller brownie and larger sorbet.
This can be a truly gourmet presentation, for about $5.50 and 30 minutes.
Serves 4-8
