Equipment

  • 1 9x13 inch baking pan greased and lined with parchment paper
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 Mixing Bowl large
  • 1 knife serrated

Ingredients
  

Brownie Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Ice Cream Filling

  • 1 quart vanilla ice cream slightly softened

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper hangs over the edges for easy removal.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed until well blended. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined and smooth.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 20-25 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 on a wire rack.
  • Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper. Use a serrated knife to cut the brownies into equal squares or rectangles, depending on the desired sandwich size.

Serving

  • Place a scoop of slightly softened vanilla ice cream on one brownie piece. Top with another brownie piece and gently press down. Repeat with remaining brownies and ice cream.
  • Wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 1 hour or until the ice cream is firm. Serve immediately after removing from the freezer for the best taste and texture.

Storage

  • Individually wrap any leftover sandwiches in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Pro Tips: For the best brownie texture, do not overbake. Use high-quality cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor.
Ingredient Substitutions: Swap vanilla ice cream for chocolate or mint chocolate chip for a different flavor profile.
How to Serve: Serve with a drizzle of hot fudge or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra flair.
Storage & Freshness: Ensure ice cream sandwiches are well wrapped to prevent freezer burn. Best enjoyed within 1 week for optimal taste.
Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare brownie layers a day in advance and assemble sandwiches the next day for ease.
