Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Layer
- 1 18.3 oz brownie mix (prepared according to package directions)
Ice Cream Layer
- 2 pints ice cream (flavors of your choice)
Topping
- 1 cup hot fudge sauce
- Pieces of remaining brownies for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Brownies: Bake the brownie mix in a 9 x 13 inch pan following the directions on the box. Once baked, let the brownies cool completely.
- Cut Brownie Circles: Using a 6-inch round cutter or a similar tool, cut out two 6-inch circles from the cooled brownies.
- Assemble First Layer: Place one brownie circle in the bottom of a 6-inch springform pan. Spread one pint of your chosen ice cream evenly on top of this brownie base.
- Add Second Layer: Place the second brownie circle on top of the ice cream layer. Then spread the remaining pint of ice cream over the top.
- Freeze to Harden: Cover the assembled cake tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 1 hour to allow it to harden and set properly.
- Prepare to Serve: Remove the cake from the freezer about 5 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly for easier slicing.
- Finish with Toppings: Drizzle the top with hot fudge sauce and garnish with pieces of the leftover brownies for extra texture and flavor.
Notes
- If a springform pan is unavailable, use a regular 6-inch round cake pan lined with parchment or wax paper to aid in removal.
- To make a larger cake, use an 8-inch springform pan, two brownie mixes, 2 quarts of ice cream, and extra hot fudge sauce.
