Equipment

  • Baking pan
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Electric Mixer
  • Spatula
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
  

For the Brownie Layer:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tbsp salt
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

For the Ice Cream Layer:

  • 1 quart of your favorite ice cream (vanilla, chocolate, or a combination works great!)
  • 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce (optional for extra indulgence)
  • 1/2 cup whipped cream (optional for topping)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line your baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Make the brownie batter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Once melted, remove from heat and whisk in both sugars until well combined. Add eggs, one at a time, and vanilla extract. Stir in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and chocolate chips.
  • Bake the brownies: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let it cool to room temperature.
  • Assemble the cake: Once the brownies have cooled, spread a layer of ice cream over the brownies. You can soften the ice cream slightly for easier spreading, but don’t let it melt completely. Place the cake back in the freezer to set for at least 3-4 hours or overnight.
  • Serve: Once set, remove the cake from the freezer, slice, and serve! You can drizzle hot fudge on top and garnish with whipped cream if desired.

Notes

The key to a great brownie ice cream cake is allowing it to freeze long enough for the layers to set properly. If you're in a rush, you can speed up the process by chilling the assembled cake for
