Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream

Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream

I’m just going to preface this by saying, you need this recipe in your life or you might die. That’s it. Blog post over. Okay not really, but let’s talk about ice cream for a sec mmmmkay? Have you ever played that game, “Would you rather”? So someone gives you a super crazy scenario like, “Would you rather eat the same thing every day or never be able to eat the same thing again?” and then you have to answer. Inevitably you sit there and over-think the question like your life depends on it, when in reality you should just answer because it’s not like someone is ever going to hold a gun to your head, make you choose, and then follow you around 24/7 to enforce it. Obvs. It’s just fun to see what your friends would choose and then discuss amongst yourselves.

So another “Would you rather” is, “Would you rather eat all of your food hot or all of your food cold?” And yes, the “Would you rathers” are always about food because who cares about anything else?!?! I immediately answered, “I’d rather eat all my food hot.” Because how gross would cold filet mignon and mashed potatoes be or cold pancakes? And no ooey goey warm cookies straight from the oven, or Molten Chocolate Lava Cake, or warm apple pie, or hot pizza?! But then I started thinking about ice cream…oh ice cream you get me every time! If I had to choose a second favorite dessert (you all know molten chocolate lava cake is my first) it would be ice cream. I LOVE ice cream. I also love chocolate and brownies so it only seemed natural to take a few of my recipes and combine them together to be the one ice cream to rule them all. Well I Frankensteined the ish out of that crap and dang…it’s GOOD!

Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream

So what do you do for cones in a gluten filled world? Use gluten-free ones of course! I really like the Let’s Do Gluten-Free Ice Cream Cones. I’m sure there would also be a way to make your own, but I haven’t had time to develop a recipe yet. I usually just eat my ice cream in a bowl anyway, but sometimes you just want a damn cone. What do you do if you want to make this recipe, but don’t own a copy of Clean Eating with a Dirty Mind? Go buy a copy of course! I’m sure I’m going to get someone that complains about this. Because people just love to complain, just remember, I’m under no obligation to provide free recipes, I just do most of the time because I love what I do and I feel like people shouldn’t have to pay money to make better choices for their health. Okay, rant over, I just had to say what I had to stay.

So besides ice cream what’s new with me? Getting ready to go on vacation in August. I haven’t drank a drop of alcohol since December 30th, 2016. A whole blog post about that is coming soon, just you wait! So much good info! Let’s see what else, I’m totally into that show Billions and binge watched it over the weekend. I have no idea what they’re talking about half the time, but I really like it. I need another show to binge. What are you guys loving right now? Tell me everything. Are you still thinking about whether or not you’d eat all your food hot or cold? I thought so. What’s your favorite “Would you rather”? I can’t wait to answer them and give you all my reasoning why, like you care and have nothing better to do than read my responses.

Ingredients

Ice Cream Base
  1. Better Than Box Brownies from Clean Eating with a Dirty Mind
  2. The Best Chocolate Ice Cream from Clean Eating with a Dirty Mind
Fudge Swirl
  1. 1 cup (200g) chocolate chips
  2. 1/4 cup (60ml) full-fat canned coconut milk or heavy cream
Instructions
  1. Make the Better Than Box Brownies recipe as instructed on page 110. Set aside to cool. For faster cooling, place in the refrigerator.
  2. Make The Best Chocolate Ice Cream recipe as instructed on page 322. While the ice cream is churning make the Fudge Swirl.
  3. To make the Fudge Swirl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut milk or cream in a double boiler over low heat or in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water. Stir frequently, using a ribber spatula, until completely melted and combined. Set aside and let cool before mixing into ice cream.
  4. When the brownies are cooled, transfer half the batch to a large mixing bowl and use a fork to mash the brownie into large crumbs.
  5. When the ice cream is almost finished churning, sprinkle the brownie bits in while the ice cream maker is still on. The ice cream maker will mix the brownie bits into the ice cream as it churns. Once the ice cream is ready and the brownie crumbs are mixed in, turn the ice cream maker off to transfer the ice cream mixture to a separate container.
  6. Transfer 1/3 of the ice cream mixture into your container to create the first layer. Pour some of the Fudge on top and use a butter knife to swirl it into the ice cream. Repeat this process two more times to make two more layers, or until the ice cream has been completely transferred and no fudge remains.
  7. Eat immediately or for firmer ice cream, cover with plastic wrap and store in the freezer. Let harden for 3 hours or overnight. Let it thaw for a bit at room temperature before scooping. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to a month.
Notes
  1. There are notes in each recipe that list subs to make the brownies and ice cream dairy-free. If you’re body is stoked on dairy, there are also subs to include dairy. Make it your own!
  2. You will have extra brownies since this recipe only calls for half the batch to be used in the ice cream. When are leftover brownies ever a bad thing?

Metaphysical Meditation

Question:

I wanted to ask you a question about metaphysical meditation. I think that is what it is but am not sure.

Since I was a child I have on occasion meditated on the physical universe and all existence within it. Visualizing its vastness in my mind. I then try to bring my focus to the outside of that universe, to the outside of that physical space. What was there before the universe? And what space is that space since it cannot be the physical universe. If it was not here there still must be something or is it just nothingness? Unbeing…is that possible?

Thinking about that visualization and focusing on that meditation brings on a very overwhelming feeling which is indescribable. I think it is fear or anxiousness. I am not sure. I even physically feel it right in my solar plexus and the tingling sensation has been so strong that I have to stop the meditation at times.

However on 2 occasions the mediation ended in an overwhelming feeling of happiness or satisfaction I am not sure again. The first time this happened was when I was about 8 or 9 years old and it was the first time I thought about it. I wondered what would there be if none of us were here including the universe. What would be left? And the meditation left me with an actual high. Since then it has happened one other time.

Could you please shed some light on what is going on? What is it that I am trying to conceptualize and why does it give me such a strange feeling? I am a Buddhist in philosophy but am not familiar with all of the various dogma from the lines of teaching. I simply try and follow the simple tenets and mostly the teachings of the Dalai Lama and a few other Buddhist teachers such as Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.

Self-Driving Cars Are More Likely to Crash Into Black People: New Study

Across the automotive and transportation industry, executives are hoping to render drivers a thing of the past. Not only are autonomous or self-driving taxi cabs, private cars and commercial trucks considered to be cheaper in terms of labor costs, but they are also expected to be far safer than vehicles that require actual human operators.

Yet what if driverless cars also carry a racial bias that makes them more likely to crash into black and darker-skinned people?

At a glance, the idea may sound strange–these are machines, after all, tools which should, by definition, be blind to skin color and neutral in matters of race.

But according to a new study from the Georgia Institute of Technology, researchers found that the high-tech visualization and detection systems rely on the same sensors and cameras that have previously made mistakes due to skin tone when applied to other automated technologies.

In practical terms, this means that cars are less likely to detect black people and hit the brakes before crashing into them as opposed to those with lighter skin tones.

The study’s authors questioned how accurately current state-of-the-art object detection algorithms can detect people from various demographic groups. The group set about categorizing image of pedestrians based on the Fitzpatrick scale, the system used to categorize human skin tones.

The object detection models were then put to the test, and results revealed that those with dark skin were detected at a rate of five percent less than those with lighter skin–a disparity that held true even when factors such as time of day or obstructed view of pedestrians was taken into account.

The study concluded:

“We hope this study provides compelling evidence of the real problem that may arise if this source of capture bias is not considered before deploying these sort of recognition models.”

AI researcher Kate Crawford, who wasn’t involved with the study, commented that these issues have long been known by critics. “Guess what? Study shows that self-driving cars are better at detecting pedestrians with lighter skin tones. Translation: Pedestrian deaths by self-driving cars are already here – but they’re not evenly distributed,” she tweeted.

Technologists have long warned that the current crop of automated machine-learning and facial recognition algorithms reflect the systemic racial and skin color-based biases that prevail in society.

In past tests, facial-recognition software such as Amazon’s notorious “Rekognition” algorithm have mistaken darker-skinned members of Congress for criminal suspects and also had a high error rate in determining gender in cases of females and darker-skinned people.
