Browned butter is intoxicating, warm, nutty, sweet... but as delicious as it smells when you make it, I often find it disappears in baked goods: hidden behind other, stronger flavours. I wanted to make something that would let the flavour of browned butter shine through. The small amount of brown sugar and vanilla in the recipe heighten the caramel flavours in the browned butter, without overpowering it, while the chocolate provides a nice textural change to the very, very rich ice cream.
