Total time: 50 min
Ingredients: 1 cup of brownies (broken into big pieces (homemade or store-bought)); 4 vanilla ice cream scoops; 1/4 cup of sugar; 1/4 cup of water; 2 tablespoons of butter; 3/4 cup of cream; 1 tablespoon of cornstarch (diluted with 1/2 cup of milk); A small pinch of salt; 100 g of milk chocolate; 1/2 cup of rice puffs

Directions

Split the brownies among 4 small jars.
Boil the sugar and water without stirring until it turns to golden caramel.
Add the diluted cornstarch and salt and bring to a boil until thickened. Take off the heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
Pour the caramel pudding into the jars and refrigerate until completely cool.
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or the microwave, stir in the rice puffs, spread it on parchment, and refrigerate until set.
Chop the crunchy chocolate roughly and divide it among the jars.
Just before serving, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to each.
