Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (18.3 oz) box brownie mix (plus ingredients required on the box, typically eggs, oil, and water)
- 2 pints of ice cream (flavors of your choice)
- 1 cup hot fudge sauce
Instructions
- Bake the Brownies
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions and bake in a 9×13-inch pan. Allow the brownies to cool completely. - Cut Out Brownie Layers
Once cooled, cut out two 6-inch circles from the baked brownies using a round cutter or knife. Save the scraps for garnish. - Assemble the Cake
Place one brownie circle at the bottom of a 6-inch springform pan (or a regular round cake pan lined with parchment paper). Spread one pint of softened ice cream evenly over the brownie layer. Add the second brownie circle on top and spread the second pint of softened ice cream over it. - Freeze
Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight to set. - Decorate and Serve
Remove the cake from the freezer about 5 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly. Drizzle hot fudge sauce over the top and garnish with leftover brownie scraps.
Notes
Serving Suggestions
- Serve slices on chilled plates to prevent melting during warm weather. Add whipped cream or fresh berries for an extra touch.
Tips & Tricks
- Use an offset spatula for smooth ice cream layers.
- To cut clean slices, dip your knife in hot water and wipe it clean between cuts.
Storage & Reheating
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. Wrap individual slices in plastic wrap before freezing to prevent freezer burn. Let frozen slices sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving.
