  • In another mixing bowl whisk together coffee,milk,vanilla extract and vegetable oil.Slowly add this into the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
  • Add finely chopped walnuts ,if desired.
  • Pour the prepared batter into the pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center of the brownie comes out clean.
  • Let it cool completely.
  • Place the brownie on to a work surface and cut out hearts using a heart shaped cookie cutter.Keep aside.
  • Place ice cream in a large bowl.Let stand at room temperature ,mashing well with a spoon in between until it is soft enough to stir.
  • Line a baking tray with foil or plastic wrap and let it extend over the edges of the pan.Now spread the softened ice cream on the prepared pan .Level it using a spatula.
  • Now arrange the brownie hearts over the ice cream layer and press it gently so that the top of the brownie is almost in level with the ice cream layer.
  • Cover this with a cling film and freeze until firm.
  • Cut into squares using a sharp knife and serve.

NOTES:
  • Allow the brownie to cool completely before cutting out hearts from it ,to avoid  cracks on  top of the brownie hearts.
  • I halved the recipe for thinner brownies.
  • These brownie have more of a cake like texture.
