Portioning out brownie batter into an ice cube tray and freezing it leaves you with the perfect amount of batter to make individual mini-brownies. You can bake them in the oven, or (as I often do) just pop one or two in a small bowl or mug and heat them in the microwave. The texture is not exactly the same as a brownie baked in the oven, but it is warm and fudgy and delicious.
I learned this genius dessert hack from former colleague Morgan Bolling, who not only taught me about the ease of freezing brownie dough, but how to do it properly and pitfalls to avoid.
But did you know that you can do the same thing with brownie batter? That's why I keep 'emergency' desserts in the freezer.
Because if you're like me, you don't need a whole cake, just enough for a party of one.
