Last weekend was my cousin’s communion so when there is a communion, there most likely is an after party. So I thought it would be cool to make a chocolate rapture with homemade ice cream. Now to make a chocolate rapture you need 21 ½ oz of brownie mix, 2 two ounce chocolate mousse mixes, 12 oz of cool whip, 8 14 oz heath bars (basically any chocolate bar you want) and 1 cup of chopped pecans. Before I say how the dish is created it serves a lot of 15-20 people so it’s not all for just one person. First what you do is make the brownies and let them cool down. You get a big serving dish its hard to describe what it looks like but if you think of a cake dish with a clear pot on top, that what it sort of looks like. So lets get back to actually constructing the cake. On the bottom layer you put down half of the brownies. (The brownies should be crushed up) Then you make half of the mousse and pour it on the crushed brownies. Next you cover the mousses with half of the cool whip. On top of the cool whip you can sprinkle a lot or a little of whatever candy bar you want. Then you repeat this process one more time until so the bowl is filled. Once you have completed all of these steps put the chocolate rapture in the fridge and let it chill over night so it is easier to serve. Next I made homemade ice cream. To do this I got 2 cups of heavy cream, 1 14 oz can of condensed milk, 3 tablespoons of melted butter, ½ tsp of ground cinnamon and ½ tspn of vanilla extract. What I did was whipped the heavy cream until it became still and would stick to the sides of the bowl. Then I combined the milk, butter, cinnamon and vanilla until they were all mixed well. Then I mixed both of the bowls together until it was stiff and put them in the freezer for 6 hours. (I know this sounds like a small recipe and it is, I might have doubled or tripled it but that is what the recipe I have looks like.)
