About Brownie with ice cream
Brownie with ice cream is a popular dessert that combines a warm, fudgy chocolate brownie with creamy, cold ice cream. Originally stemming from American cuisine in the late 19th century, brownies are dense, chocolate-based confections often served as a decadent treat. When paired with ice cream, this dessert offers a contrast of temperatures and textures. While delicious, it is energy-dense due to its combination of sugars, fats, and carbohydrates. A standard serving (typically around 200g) can contain approximately 400-600 calories, depending on ingredients, and offers modest amounts of calcium, iron, and protein from the ice cream and any cocoa-based brownie ingredients but is otherwise high in saturated fats and added sugars.
Health Benefits
- Provides iron (2-3 mg per serving) from cocoa powder, which supports oxygen transport in the blood.
- Contains calcium (about 80-120 mg per serving) from ice cream, contributing to bone health.
- Offers small amounts of protein (3-6 g per serving), which supports tissue repair and muscle maintenance.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Ice cream should remain frozen at or below 0°F (-18°C) until served.
Common Questions About Brownie with ice cream Nutrition
How many calories and nutrients are in a brownie with ice cream?
A typical serving of a brownie with ice cream contains around 350-500 calories, depending on portion size and recipe. It usually has 5-8g of protein, 40-60g of carbohydrates, and 15-25g of fat. However, it is generally low in vitamins and minerals except for small amounts of calcium from the ice cream.
Can I eat a brownie with ice cream on a keto diet?
Traditional brownies with ice cream are not keto-friendly because they are high in carbohydrates due to sugar and flour content, with approximately 40-60g of carbs per serving. However, keto versions using almond flour, sugar substitutes, and low-carb ice cream are available and can be enjoyed in moderation.
Is a brownie with ice cream healthy?
While brownies with ice cream are an enjoyable dessert, they are typically high in sugar, calories, and saturated fats, which can contribute to weight gain and health risks if consumed frequently. Eating them occasionally as a treat is fine, but moderation is key for maintaining a healthy diet.
What is the recommended serving size for a brownie with ice cream?
A recommended serving size is usually one small brownie (about 2-inch square) paired with one small scoop (around ½ cup) of ice cream. This portion generally balances indulgence with minding calorie and sugar intake for the day.
How does a brownie with ice cream compare to other desserts?
Brownies with ice cream are richer in calories and sugar compared to lighter desserts like fruit or sorbet. However, they are similar in calorie content to cakes with frosting or ice cream sundaes. For a healthier option, use sugar substitutes, whole grain flour, or pair it with a smaller scoop of ice cream.
