Chocolate-Mint Brownie Cake
Source: Bon Appétit - April 2003
8 servings.
Cake
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Icing
6 ounces good-quality white chocolate (such
as Lindt or Baker's), chopped
3 tablespoons whipping cream
3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
Glaze
6 tablespoons whipping cream
6 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or
semisweet chocolate, chopped
White chocolate curls (optional)
Fresh mint sprigs (optional)
Halved strawberries (optional)
For cake: preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour an 8-inch square metal cake pan. Line bottom of pan with parchment paper. Butter and flour parchment paper.
Stir chopped chocolate in top of double boiler set over simmering water until chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from over water.
Using electric mixer, beat butter in medium bowl until smooth. Gradually add sugar and beat until well blended. Beat in eggs 1 at a time, blending well after each addition. Beat in melted chocolate and vanilla extract. Add flour and cinnamon; beat just until blended. Spoon cake batter into prepared pan; smooth top.
Bake cake until tester inserted into center comes out with moist crumbs attached, about 25 minutes. Cool cake in pan on rack 20 minutes. Run small knife between edge of cake and pan to loosen. Turn cake out onto rack; remove parchment paper. Cool completely.
For icing: Stir white chocolate and whipping cream in top of double boiler set over simmering water until melted and smooth. Remove from over water. Stir in peppermint extract. Spread icing even over top of cake. Place cake in freezer until icing is firm, about 30 minutes, or refrigerate cake 1 hour.
For glaze: Bring cream to simmer in heavy small saucepan. Remove from heat. Add chocolate; whisk until melted and smooth. Cool chocolate until lukewarm but still pourable, about 5 minutes.
Place cake on rack set over top of cake. Spread glaze evenly over top and sides of cake. Freeze until glaze is set, about 10 minutes. If necessary, rewarm remaining glaze just until pourable. Pour remaining glaze over cake; spread glaze smoothly over top and sides of cake. Refrigerate cake until glaze is firm, about 2 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and keep chilled.) Let cake stand at room temperature at least 3 hours before serving.
Transfer brownie cake to platter. Top cake with chocolate curls and garnish platter with mint sprigs and strawberries, if desired.

Chocolate & IceView This Product at Amazon
Chocolate and Ice is the fourth EP from this Louisville, Kentucky, band who exhibit a curious fondness for beards, bluegrass, and Neil Young. The music, as expected, is an intriguing mix of Americana and psychedelia, pairing jangly guitars and molasses-thick rhythms with frontman Jim James's serviceable falsetto. Songs like "Such Protection from My Bed" and "Sweetheart" evoke Palace, Low, and occasionally, early R.E.M., without quite committing to any particular influence. Though doggedly left field, it is actually enjoyable stuff. --Aidin Vaziri

MGA Ice Cream Pop Girls Mindy Mint Chocolate ChipView This Product at Amazon
Satisfy any young girl's sweet tooth with this adorable Ice Cream Pop Girl from Yummi-Land. Who doesn't like more dessert? Mindy Mint Chocolate Chip stands 16 inches tall--nearly triple the size of her cousins the Candy Pop and Soda Pop Girls. But she also begs for playtime by giving off an oh-so-sweet (but not overpowering) mint scent.
Showing a flair for fashion as well as tasty treats, Mindy wears a cute sleeveless dress of bright aqua with brown polka dots (or are those chocolate chips?), aqua knee-high boots, and a headband with an upside-down ice cream cone. Her long black locks can be styled or combed with the included hairbrush that features a sugar cone handle. Because no girl is complete without her pet, Mindy brings along Sadie S'mores St. Bernard wherever she goes.
Mindy is packed in a clear soda pop bottle that serves multiple purposes. Aside from storage for the Ice Cream Pop doll, the bottle bottom can be used as a display stand, or the assembled bottle can be used as bank to help save up for the next Yummi-Land doll. Underneath the bottle cap is a secret message. Girls can truly keep it a secret between themselves and Mindy, or they can visit the Yummi-Land website to enter it into the "secret message engine" and discover a customized surprise. How delicious!

Astronaut Ice Cream - Mint Choc ChipView This Product at Amazon
Science museums are really cool places with tons of wonderful learning experiences available to the public. You can walk through giant heart models, see dazzling laser displays, even gawp at actual moon landers. But let's face it, the best part of every science museum is normally in a bin near the cash register: freeze dried ice cream. Four of the tastiest words in the English language. But thanks to us, you can now get the ice cream astronauts eat without the risk of accidentally learning anything. Yay!
Each package of Astronaut Ice Cream is made with state-of-the-art yummy food technology. First made by the Whirlpool Corporation (yup, the washer/dryer people) for the Apollo missions, freeze dried ice cream has been a favorite of geeks ever since. We have three flavors to offer you. The "original" flavor most often found in museums is neapolitan (chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla) - and we also have mint chocolate chip (cool and delicious) and chocolate chocolate chip (very, very chocolaty) to tease your taste buds. Try one or try them all, we know you'll love 'em. And if you really want the full astronaut experience, just get some tall strong folks at your office to hold you upside down when you eat. Peristalsis is amazing, and so is Astronaut Ice Cream.
Each package is 0.7 oz of joy and can be stored (unopened) for up to 3 years.
