Have you ever had leftover brownies and had no idea what to do with them? Well, I didn’t think so. My brownies generally disappear within a day. I do, however, often have excess brownie edges that I must cut. I’ve become inventive with various methods to use them up on the few times when they don’t get eaten.

My name is Angie, and I’ve been baking for almost ten years. I’ve been baking brownies my whole life, and they’re always a crowd pleaser! In this post, I’ll show you several creative methods to get rid of leftover brownies that don’t involve wasting them.

There are several ways to use leftover brownies, such as creating rich brownie truffles, frying them, or mixing them to create a milkshake. I’ll teach you how to accomplish all of that and more!

Let’s get this brownie going.

1. Ice Cream Topping

Don’t know what to do with your brownies? Here’s a simple and effective way to get started.

Just cut your brownies into bits and serve with ice cream. When the ice cream melts, all of that vanilla-y, milky deliciousness will drown the brownie bits and soak it up. No more explanation is required.

2. Brownie Milkshakes

Brownies are a terrific way to spice up a plain milkshake, particularly for chocolate aficionados. It’s also simple. You will need chocolate or vanilla ice cream, milk, brownies, and a blender.

Fill your blender with all of the following ingredients and mix away. The end product is an incredible brownie milkshake that will blow your mind. More brownie pieces may be added to your milkshake. Check out Queenslee Appetit’s recipe for accurate measurements.

3. Brownie Truffles

I’m sure you’ve seen cake truffles before, but have you ever considered taking it up a level by using brownies instead?

Brownie truffles are a delectable delicacy that are simple to create. Make some cream cheese since you’ll be using it to tie your brownie truffles together. Stir it by hand until the brownies are equally crushed and cream cheese-coated.

Begin by rolling your brownies into balls and squeezing them slightly until solid. Let your brownies to rest in the fridge for 30 minutes to set everything in place. After your brownie truffles are cool enough to handle, dip them in melted chocolate or candy melts.

4. Brownie Pops

Now that you know how to create brownie truffles, making brownie pops should be a breeze. There is just one further step, and that is to insert a lollipop stick into your brownie truffle.

Before putting the lollipop stick into the brownie balls, dip the tip of the stick in molten chocolate for 2 inches. This will help keep the lollipop attached to the stick. Make your brownie pops one at a time, dipping roughly 1 at a time.

After finished, place it pop side down on a piece of nonstick paper to cool. You can even speed up the process by putting it in the fridge.

5. Deep Fried Brownie Bites

Have you ever noticed how deep frying improves everything? No? Is it just me?

To create deep-fried brownie bites, combine brownie crumbs and cream cheese to bind them together and add moisture. You may also add chocolate chips for a melt-in-your-mouth experience.

Make small bite-sized dough balls out of your brownie bites. Freeze them until they are firm. To prepare a batter for coating your brownie bits, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and an egg. When cooked, this will give your brownie bits a crispy golden crust.

6. Brownie Bread Pudding

What about bread pudding? Amazing. Bread pudding with brownies? Better yet!

Don’t be deceived by the name. Bread is not required for this dish. But, you will need a LARGE number of eggs. Make a custard with the eggs, sugar, milk, and vanilla, and soak the brownies in it for 30 minutes.

Place the soggy mixture in a casserole dish and bake at 350°F for 35-40 minutes. The middle of the pudding should still be jiggly.

7. Brownie Trifle

A brownie trifle is quite similar to a conventional trifle. The only difference is that you’ll use leftover brownies instead of sponge cake. Chocolate goes well with berries. You are also invited to prepare a chocolate trifle with the remaining brownies.

The greatest part is that the custard filling, cream, and berry juices will soak through and make your brownies burst with flavor.

8. Leftover Brownie Cheesecake

Don’t mistake this with a brownie cheesecake, but it’s as delicious in my view. The brownies in this cheesecake are chunky rather than swirled with cheesecake batter.

Use your favorite cheesecake recipe, but instead of baking it straight, smash your brownies into crumbs as large or little as you want and flirtatiously stir them into the mixture.

Here’s a recipe that will teach you how to create a homemade leftover brownie cheesecake.

9. Freeze for Later

I mean, there’s always this?

If you’re not sure what to do with your remaining brownies right now, wrap them up and freeze them until you do. You never know when cravings will strike, and having brownies in the freezer can make you feel like a genius when they do.

For *ahem* convenience, you may freeze the whole slab of brownies or in pieces. I’ve covered everything in this essay. Examine it out.
