This Delicious Brownie Ice Cream Cake combines rich, fudgy brownies with creamy ice cream to create the ultimate indulgent dessert. Layers of warm, chocolatey brownie and smooth ice cream are topped with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and optional sprinkles or nuts for texture and extra flavor. Perfect for celebrations or any time you crave a decadent treat.

Ingredients

Brownie Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

Ice Cream Cake Assembly

  • 1 quart of your favorite ice cream (such as chocolate, vanilla, or any mix you prefer)
  • Whipped cream
  • Chocolate syrup
  • Sprinkles or chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly to avoid cooking the eggs in the next step.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Stir the granulated sugar into the melted butter until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition to ensure a smooth mixture. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder until evenly combined.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until thoroughly combined and the batter is smooth and uniform.
  6. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Soften Ice Cream: While the brownies are cooling, allow the ice cream to soften slightly at room temperature for easier spreading.
  8. Assemble the Cake Layers: Once cooled, remove the brownies from the pan and carefully cut into even layers. Place one brownie layer back into the baking dish. Spread the softened ice cream evenly over this layer, then place the second brownie layer on top to form a sandwich.
  9. Freeze to Set: Cover the entire assembled cake with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the ice cream is firm and set.
  10. Add Toppings and Serve: Remove the cake from the freezer and top with whipped cream, drizzle with chocolate syrup, and sprinkle with sprinkles or chopped nuts if desired. Cut into squares and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • For best slicing results, allow the cake to thaw for a few minutes after removing from the freezer.
  • You can customize the ice cream flavor to suit your preference or dietary needs.
  • Use a warm knife to cut the cake more cleanly.
  • Brownie layers can be baked ahead and kept refrigerated before assembly.
  • Optional garnishes such as sprinkles or nuts add texture and visual appeal.
