3/4 cup Atkins Deluxe Fudge Brownie Mix (half of an 8.5 oz.
package)
1 large egg
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup water
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons granular sugar substitute
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup strawberries, sliced
1/2 of 1 Atkins Endulge Chocolate Candy Bar, chopped
1. Heat oven to 350 F. Line two 8"-square baking pans
with foil and coat with nonstick cooking spray. In a
medium bowl, combine brownie mix, egg, butter and
water, stirring until smooth. Divide batter between pans.
Bake 20 minutes. Cool completely on wire rack; invert
cakes onto a cutting board and peel off foil.
2. In a mixer bowl, with an electric mixer on medium, beat
the heavy cream to soft peaks. In another mixer bowl,
combine the cream cheese, sugar substitute, vanilla
extract and 1/3 cup of the whipped cream. With an
electric mixer on low, beat just until blended. Add the
remaining whipped cream and continue to beat on low
just until combined. Divide and spread cream cheese
mixture over brownie squares. Top one of the brownie
squares with strawberries. Place second cake (cream
cheese side down) over berries. Wrap well in plastic
wrap and freeze 2 to 3 hours, until set.
3. Remove brownie sandwiches from freezer and cut into 8
bars. Place Endulge bar in a small plastic bag.
Microwave on HIGH 30 to 60 seconds, until melted. Cut
a tiny piece off corner of bag and pipe chocolate swirls
over brownies. Place in freezer 5 minutes to set
chocolate. Wrap each bar in plastic wrap and store in
freezer until ready to serve.
The perfect treat for summer-or anytime you have a yen for
something cold, sweet and chocolaty. When you've reached
pre-maintenance and lifetime maintenance, you can indulge in
this scrumptious frozen treat.
