What You Need For Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches

For the Brownies:

  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter
  • 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (90g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

For the Sandwiches:

  • 1 pint (480ml) ice cream (any flavor)
  • Toppings: chocolate chips, sprinkles, crushed nuts, etc.

How to Make Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper.
  2. Make the Brownie Batter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Add the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder, and mix until just combined.
  3. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
  4. Cut the Brownies: Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut them into equal-sized rectangles or squares.
  5. Assemble the Sandwiches: Place a scoop of ice cream on one brownie and top with another brownie. Gently press together. Roll the edges in your desired toppings.
  6. Freeze: Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  7. Serve: Enjoy straight from the freezer!

Tips For Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches

  • Use Cold Brownies: Ensure the brownies are completely cooled before assembling to prevent melting.
  • Softened Ice Cream: Let the ice cream soften slightly for easier scooping.
  • Customize Toppings: Use any toppings you like—sprinkles, crushed cookies, or mini chocolate chips.

Substitutions and Variations

  • Gluten-Free: Use a gluten-free flour blend for the brownies.
  • Dairy-Free: Use dairy-free butter and ice cream.
  • Add Flavor: Mix crushed cookies or candy into the ice cream for extra texture.

Make a Healthier Version

  • Reduce Sugar: Use 1 1/2 cups of sugar instead of 2 cups.
  • Whole Wheat Flour: Substitute half or all of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
  • Low-Fat Ice Cream: Use light or low-fat ice cream.
