Equipment
- 1 9x13 inch baking pan greased and lined with parchment
- 1 Mixing Bowl large
- 1 saucepan small
Ingredients
Brownie Layer
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Ice Cream Filling
- 1 quart ice cream flavor of choice
Chocolate Drizzle
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter and sugar. Stir in vanilla extract and eggs until well mixed. Add flour, cocoa powder, and salt, mixing until smooth.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
- Once cooled, lift the brownies from the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into equally sized squares.
Assembly
- Place half of the brownie squares on a lined baking sheet. Top each with a scoop of ice cream, then cover with another brownie square to form a sandwich.
- Place the assembled sandwiches in the freezer for at least 2 hours, until the ice cream is firm.
Finishing Touch
- In a small saucepan, heat chocolate chips and heavy cream over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat.
- Remove sandwiches from the freezer and drizzle the chocolate over the top of each. Return to the freezer for 10 minutes to set the chocolate.
Serving and Storage
- Once the chocolate is set, serve the brownie sundae ice cream sandwiches immediately.
- Wrap each sandwich individually in plastic wrap and store in the freezer for up to one week.
