Ingredients
- 200g (1 cup) unsalted butter
- 100g (3.5 oz) dark chocolate, chopped
- 300g (1.5 cups) granulated sugar
- 100g (1 cup) all-purpose flour
- 60g (1/2 cup) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 large eggs
- 5 ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract
- 2 liters (1/2 gallon) of your favorite ice cream
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Brownie Batter
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a kettle or saucepan over low heat, gently melt the butter and dark chocolate together until smooth. Let it cool slightly. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the melted chocolate mixture, eggs, and vanilla extract, stirring until you have a smooth batter.
Step 2: Bake the Brownies
Pour half of the batter into the greased 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking pan. Smooth out the top with a spatula. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the brownies are just set. Cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining batter to create two brownie layers.
Step 3: Assemble the Sandwiches
Once the brownie layers have cooled completely, place one layer back into the baking pan. Spread the ice cream evenly over the top. It’s easier if the ice cream is slightly softened. Place the second brownie layer on top, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 4: Freeze
Cover the assembled brownie-ice cream sandwich with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for at least 1 hour to set.
Step 5: Serve
Remove the ice cream sandwich from the freezer and let it sit for a few minutes to slightly soften for easier slicing. With a sharp knife, cut into individual sandwiches. Serve immediately or wrap individually and freeze for later enjoyment.
