This Delicious Brownie Ice Cream Cake combines rich, fudgy brownies with creamy layers of ice cream, topped with warm fudge sauce for a decadent dessert that’s perfect for any celebration or summer treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Layer

  • 1 box brownie mix (18.3 oz), prepared as instructed (yields one 9 x 13-inch pan)

Ice Cream Layers

  • 2 pints ice cream, your choice of flavors

Topping

  • 1 cup fudge sauce, heated
  • Optional: leftover brownie pieces for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Bake the Brownies: Begin by baking the brownies in a 9 x 13-inch pan according to the package instructions. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan to ensure they hold their shape during assembly.
  2. Cut and Layer the First Brownie and Ice Cream: After cooling, use a sharp knife or cake ring to cut two 6-inch circles from the brownie slab. Place one brownie circle into 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 gently.
  3. Add the Second Brownie Layer and Ice Cream: Place the second brownie circle on top of the first ice cream layer in the springform pan. Then spread the remaining pint of ice cream evenly over this second brownie layer, smoothing the top as much as possible for an even finish.
  4. Freeze and Set the Cake: Cover the assembled ice cream cake tightly with plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn. Place it in the freezer and allow it to harden for at least 3-4 hours, or until the ice cream is firm enough to slice cleanly.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Remove the ice cream cake from the freezer about 5 minutes before serving to let it soften slightly for easier cutting. Carefully release and remove the springform pan. Drizzle the warmed fudge sauce over the top and garnish with pieces of any leftover brownies for extra texture and indulgence. Slice and enjoy your decadent dessert.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure brownies are completely cooled before layering with ice cream.
  • You can mix and match ice cream flavors to create your favorite combinations.
  • Use a sharp, warm knife to cut the cake cleanly.
  • Make sure to cover the cake tightly to avoid ice crystals forming on the ice cream.
  • Leftover brownies work beautifully as an added topping for crunch and flavor.
