A refreshingly frothy and sweet carbonated drink that is sugar-free and stevia-sweetened. No one will ever guess it’s a calorie-free beverage!

Frozen chewy chocolate brownies with a creamy vanilla ice cream middle! These must be frozen for an additional hour before serving for best appearance, but this allows these bars to be made days in advance.

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a muffin pan with liners and lightly spray liners with cooking spray.
   
2. In a large bowl, mix together the coconut oil, coconut sugar, eggs, water, and vanilla until well combined. Mix in the cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, cornstarch, and flour. Pour 1 heaping tablespoon of batter at the bottom of each muffin liner.
   
3. Bake this brownie layer for 10 minutes. Remove baked brownies from pan. Repeat this step until all the batter is cooked. Let all the brownies cool.
   
4. Once cool, unwrap half of the brownies from their muffin liners and set aside.
   
5. Scoop 3 tablespoons of slightly softened ice cream on top of the remaining brownies which are still in their muffin liners. Gently top each with an unwrapped brownie.
   
6. Pour about 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate over the brownie sandwiches. Immediately freeze for at least 1 hour or until ready to serve.
