Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix (preferably Hershey’s Fudgy Brownie Mix)
Assembly
- 1 cup fudge sauce (warmed for easier drizzling)
- 2 pints ice cream (softened, high-quality vanilla or chocolate)
Instructions
- Prepare and Bake the Brownies: Begin by baking the brownies in a 9 x 13-inch pan according to the directions on the brownie mix box. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before proceeding.
- Cut and Layer the Brownies and Ice Cream: Using a sharp knife or cake ring, cut two 6-inch circles out of the cooled brownie slab. Place one brownie circle at the bottom of a 6-inch springform pan. Spread one pint of softened ice cream evenly over the brownie base to create the first ice cream layer.
- Add the Second Brownie Layer and Ice Cream: Place the second brownie circle directly on top of the ice cream layer. Then, spread the remaining pint of softened ice cream over the second brownie layer, smoothing the surface evenly.
- Freeze and Set the Ice Cream Cake: Cover the assembled cake with plastic wrap to protect it from freezer burn. Return it to the freezer and allow the cake to harden for several hours or until firm.
- Serve and Garnish: Before serving, remove the cake from the freezer about five minutes ahead to soften slightly. Carefully release the springform pan, drizzle the cake with warm fudge sauce, and garnish with pieces of leftover brownies for added texture and flavor. Slice and enjoy this indulgent treat!
Notes
- Use high-quality ice cream for the best flavor and texture.
- Ensure brownies are completely cooled before cutting and assembling to prevent melting the ice cream prematurely.
- Softening the ice cream slightly before spreading makes layering easier and smoother.
- Freezing the cake overnight is ideal for best texture and firmness.
- Warm the fudge sauce gently to allow for easy drizzling over the cake.
