Delightfully delicious, yet deceivingly simple, this gluten-free treat will have friends and family alike asking the same question: "This is so yummy — are you sure it's gluten free?"
Ingredients
For crust
- 1 cup gluten-free graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoons Simply Organic Cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons Organic Valley Butter, melted
For brownie layer
- 1 package gluten-free Simply Organic Cocoa Brownie Mix
- 1 cup Organic Valley Half & Half
- 1/2 teaspoon Simply Organic Vanilla Extract
- 2 Organic Valley Eggs, slightly beaten
For Topping
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 cup Organic Valley Whipping Cream
- 1/2 teaspoon Simply Organic Vanilla Extract
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 13x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Prepare crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and cinnamon. Add melted butter. Stir with fork until evenly combined. Press into the bottom of parchment-lined pan. Bake for about 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare brownie layer: In a bowl, stir together brownie mix, half & half, vanilla extract and eggs. Pour over crust as soon as it is done baking.
- Return to oven and bake for about 25 minutes. Top will look glossy. If testing with a toothpick, there will be a few sticky crumbs. Using the edges of the parchment paper, lift brownie delight out of pan and cool on a rack.
- Prior to serving, make topping: Sift sugar and cocoa powder together. Pour whipping cream and vanilla into a chilled bowl. Add cocoa sugar mix and whip until light and fluffy. Top each serving of brownie delight with a dollop of topping. Refrigerate any leftover topping.
Variation
- Substitute crushed gluten-free animal crackers, cream-filled cookies, or chocolate wafer crumbs for graham crackers.
- For a thicker, richer dessert, make in an 11x7-inch baking pan.
- Serve without whipped topping and dust the brownies with sifted powdered sugar or cocoa powder.
- Garnish with fresh strawberries, raspberries, or mint leaves
