Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix (18.3 oz), prepared as per package instructions
Ice Cream Layers
- 2 pints ice cream, any flavors of your choice
Topping
- 1 cup fudge sauce, heated
- Leftover brownie pieces for garnish (optional)
- Prepare and Bake the Brownies: Begin by preparing the brownie mix according to the instructions on the package. Pour the batter into a 9 x 13-inch pan and bake as directed. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan to ensure clean cutting and proper layering.
- Cut and Layer the First Brownie and Ice Cream: Using a sharp knife or a cake ring, cut out two 6-inch diameter circles from the cooled brownie slab. Place one brownie circle at the bottom of a 6-inch springform pan. Evenly spread one pint of your chosen ice cream flavor over this brownie base, smoothing the surface carefully.
- Add the Second Brownie Layer and Ice Cream: Place the second brownie circle on top of the first ice cream layer. Then spread the remaining pint of ice cream evenly over this second brownie layer, smoothing out the top for an even finish.
- Freeze and Set the Ice Cream Cake: Cover the springform pan tightly with plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn. Return the assembled cake to the freezer and allow it to set firmly for several hours, preferably overnight, until the ice cream is completely hardened.
- Serve and Garnish: Before serving, remove the cake from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing. Carefully remove the cake from the springform pan. Drizzle with heated fudge sauce and garnish with leftover brownie pieces for added texture and flavor. Slice and enjoy your decadent ice cream brownie cake!
Notes
- Use any ice cream flavors you prefer for a personalized touch.
- To ensure neat cuts, chill the brownies thoroughly before cutting.
- For easier serving, allow the cake to soften slightly outside the freezer before slicing.
- Store leftover cake in the freezer covered tightly to maintain freshness.
- Fudge sauce can be substituted with chocolate syrup or caramel sauce as desired.
