Ingredients

For the brownie layers.

2 cups Almond Flour
½ cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
¾ cup Sugar Alternative - Granular Allulose or similar alternative
½ tsp Baking Powder
½ cup Butter
½ cup Sugar Free Chocolate Chips
3 Eggs
2 tsp Vanilla Extract

For the Ice Cream

1½ cups Heavy Cream
3 tbsp Butter
½ cup Sugar Free Powdered Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
2 Egg Yolks
⅓ cup Pecans - chopped
¼ tsp Xanthan Gum

Optional- Vodka (1-2 tbsp)

Instructions

To make the brownies, preheat your oven to 350 and prep two square baking pans (9") with parchment paper that overhangs the edges of the pan.
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat together the butter and chocolate chips, stopping to stir every 30 seconds, until mostly melted.
In a large mixing bowl, use a whisk to combine together the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar alternative and baking powder.
Make a well in the center and then carefully pour the melted ingredients into the well. Lightly stir the ingredients.
Add the eggs and the vanilla extract to the mixing bowl and mix until just combined. Then transfer the ingredients to your prepared baking pans as evenly as possible.
Bake the brownies for 10 minutes and then let them sit at room temperature for ten minutes before carefully using the parchment paper that hangs over the sides of the pan to lift the brownies from the pan and transfer to wire cooling rack(s).
To make the ice cream, start by melting the butter over medium heat in a large saucepan. Once the butter has melted you can slowly pour the heavy cream into the saucepan and bring cook the ingredients to just below a simmer, whisking as needed.
Bump the heat down to low and slowly add your beaten egg yolks to the saucepan, whisking constantly until blended in. We are tempering the eggs while not trying to make scrambled eggs. Then remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the sugar alternative and vanilla extract.
Carefully transfer the ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Add the xanthan gum and the vodka to the mixing bowl and beat until smooth and creamy.
Use a rubber spatula or similar item to gently fold in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed. Then transfer the ingredients to a loaf pan, cover with plastic, and freeze until set (three to four hours).
While your ice cream is setting, you can stir it every 45 minutes to prevent the formation of ice crystals.
To assemble the sandwiches, take the ice cream out of your freezer and let it sit for a few minutes to get soft enough to spread.
Evenly spread the ice cream over one of the brownie slabs and then place the other slab on top of the ice cream, pressing it into place as needed. Then wrap the brownie in plastic wrap or similar item and freeze until set (two to three hours).
When you are ready to cut your ice cream into sandwiches, cut the brownies into nice pieces (cut like a tic tac toe board into nine pieces) and enjoy.
