Time 2h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (19.8 ounce) package brownie mix
½ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup water
2 eggs
1 quart mint chocolate chip ice cream, or as needed
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 2 9-inch cake pans.
  • Combine the brownie mix, vegetable oil, water, and eggs in a mixing bowl; stir well with a spoon until thickened and smooth, about 1 minute. Spread the batter into the prepared cake pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until set and browned, about 30 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of a pan should come out with moist crumbs. Let cool for 10 minutes in pans before removing to finish cooling on racks.
  • After brownies are cool, remove ice cream from freezer and allow to soften for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, pour sweetened condensed milk into a saucepan, and mix in the chocolate chips; heat over low heat, stirring constantly, just until chips have melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool to barely warm temperature.
  • Place one of the layers of brownies into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Evenly spread the ice cream in a layer over the brownies; pour and spread half the chocolate sauce over the ice cream. Top with the other brownie layer, and drizzle the remaining sauce over the top. Freeze until ready to eat, at least 1 hour. Serve topped with whipped topping, if desired.

BROWNIE SUNDAE ICE CREAM CAKE



Brownie Sundae Ice Cream Cake image

Horizontal slices of rich brownie cake make dramatic stripes in this striking frozen dessert, which features all the fixings of an old-fashioned sundae -- and then some. Two kinds of ice cream -- vanilla and strawberry -- are used as the fillings, along with crunchy peanut butter and crushed raspberries. Everything is layered in a loaf pan before freezing, slicing, and serving -- with whipped cream, sugared peanuts, and cherries on top.

Time 8h

Number Of Ingredients 18

Vegetable-oil cooking spray
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup whole milk
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, preferably 61% cacao, melted
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 1/4 cups vanilla ice cream, softened
1/3 cup crushed raspberries
1 1/2 cups strawberry ice cream, softened
Lightly sweetened whipped cream
Sugared Peanuts
Maraschino cherries, for serving

Steps:

  • Cake: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Line with parchment, leaving overhang on long sides; coat parchment with cooking spray. Whisk together flour, cocoa, salt, and baking powder in a bowl.
  • In a large bowl, beat butter with sugar on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until smooth. Beat in vanilla. With mixer on low speed, add flour mixture in three batches, alternating with milk in two additions, beating until combined. Beat in melted chocolate.
  • Transfer batter to prepared pan, smoothing top with an offset spatula. Bake until set on top but still wobbly in center, about 15 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
  • Assembly: Line an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap. Use parchment to lift brownie from baking pan. Cut crosswise into 3 pieces, one piece cut to fit bottom of loaf pan exactly, the next slightly wider, and the last widest of all (to match size of pan, which gets wider toward top).
  • Place smallest brownie piece, top-side up, in bottom of lined loaf pan. Spread peanut butter over top, then vanilla ice cream. Place second-largest brownie piece, top-side down, on ice cream. Spread with raspberries, then strawberry ice cream. Top with final brownie piece, topside down. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 6 hours and up to 1 day.
  • Run a butter knife around edges to release lined cake from pan, then use plastic to remove cake and place on a serving platter. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with peanuts. Slice with a sharp knife, wiping blade clean between each. Serve each slice with more peanuts and a cherry.

SNICKERS PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIE ICE CREAM CAKE RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Snickers Peanut Butter Brownie Ice Cream Cake Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by Lsweetnell

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 box brownie mix, plus ingredients required on box
1/4 cup milk
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
8 oz Cool Whip, thawed (OR 1 recipe of homemade whipped cream)
1 20 oz bottle chocolate sundae syrup (Here's the one I used)
1 20 oz bottle caramel sundae syrup
1 11.5 oz bag mini snickers, chopped, divided into three groups

Steps:

  • NOTE: An 8-inch springform pan is best for this recipe so that you can easily remove the cake once it's been assembled. If you do not have a springform pan, line your pan with clear wrap before adding your parchment paper and cake board. You can use the clear warp to lift your cake out of the pan once it's assembled and frozen. BROWNIES: Make brownie dough according to instructions on the back of the box. Grease two 8-inch pans (preferable springform pans, see above) and line the bottoms with parchment paper to allow for easy removal. Bake at the temperature on the box, reducing baking time to about 20 minutes. You can also bake 1 big brownie, which would cook for the normal time and cut it in half, but cutting a brownie in half isn't super easy. When brownies are done baking, allow to completely cool. ICE CREAM: Combine milk, cream cheese, sugar, and peanut butter together in the bowl of a stand mixer or with a hand mixer. Mix until completely combined. Fold in the cool whip. ASSEMBLY: Line the sides of an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper. The parchment paper should stick up above the top edge of the pan since the cake will probably be a little taller than your pan. If you want, put a cardboard cake circle in the bottom of the pan. You should be using the same 8-inch pan you used for the brownies. Not all 8-inch pans are exactly the same size. Your brownie needs to fit in this pan. Put the first brownie layer in the bottom of your pan. Spread 1/2 cup caramel sauce and 1/2 cup chocolate sauce over the brownie. Top with the first group of chopped Snickers. Top with half of the peanut butter ice cream. Add second brownie to the pan, on top of the ice cream. Again cover with 1/2 cup caramel sauce and 1/2 cup chocolate sauce. Top with the second group of chopped Snickers. Top with remaining peanut butter ice cream. Allow ice cream cake to freeze completely. When frozen, remove from springform pan and remove parchment paper from sides. Top with additional caramel sauce and chocolate sauce, allowing it to drizzle down the sides. Cover with remaining chopped Snickers and a little more caramel and chocolate sauce. Freeze for about an hour, then serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your brownie ice cream cake will be. Use real butter, semisweet chocolate, and fresh eggs.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies in a preheated oven: A preheated oven will help the brownies rise evenly and prevent them from sinking in the middle.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before assembling the cake: This will help prevent the ice cream from melting.
  • Use a high-quality ice cream: The ice cream is a major component of this cake, so use a flavor that you love. A chocolate or vanilla ice cream would be a good choice.
  • Decorate the cake as desired: You can decorate the cake with chocolate chips, sprinkles, or chopped nuts.

Conclusion:

Brownie ice cream cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor and creamy ice cream filling, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give brownie ice cream cake a try.
