Equipment
- 1 9x13 inch baking pan greased
- 1 Mixing Bowl large
- 1 offset spatula
- 1 knife for cutting
Ingredients
Brownie Base
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Ice Cream Filling
- 2 pints ice cream flavor of choice
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Pour the batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
Assemble the Sandwiches
- Once cooled, remove the brownies from the pan and cut into squares or rectangles, depending on your preferred sandwich size.
- Soften the ice cream slightly and spread a generous layer onto one brownie piece. Top with another brownie piece to create a sandwich.
Freezing
- Wrap each sandwich in parchment paper or plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 2 hours to allow the ice cream to firm up.
Serving
- Before serving, let the sandwiches sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to soften slightly for easier eating.
Storage
- Store any leftover sandwiches in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
