BROWNIE-ICE CREAM SANDWICH
We love the combo of chocolate brownie and mint-chip ice cream, but you can use any flavor in your sandwiches.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 10-by-15-inch jelly-roll pan. Line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on short sides, then butter paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together butter and sugar, then whisk in eggs and salt. Add flour and cocoa and mix until just smooth. Spread in pan. Bake until brownie is dry to the touch and edges have begun to pull away from pan, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes. Using paper overhang, transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
- Transfer brownie to a work surface and cut in half crosswise. Cover pan with a large sheet of plastic wrap and place one cake half on it. Spread with ice cream, invert remaining brownie half on top, and wrap tightly in plastic. Freeze until firm, about 2 hours.
- Unwrap, cut into 12 pieces, and serve. To store, wrap each sandwich in plastic and freeze, up to 1 week.

BROWNIE ICE-CREAM SANDWICH
I use my favorite no-churn ice-cream recipe in these ice-cream sandwiches which makes them really quick and easy. You could use your own favorite ice-cream; just defrost it slightly so you can spread it between the brownie layers easily.

Steps:
- Line one 20x30cm (8x12-inch) tin with cling film.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, heavy cream, and vanilla using an electric hand-held whisk until the mixture thickens and holds its shape when you take the whisk out. Put the cookies into a plastic bag and bash them with a rolling pin to make crumbs. If you want larger chunks, you could crumble them by hand. Fold the cookie crumbs into the ice-cream mixture, then scrape into the prepared tin. Use a spatula to smooth it out, then freeze for at least two hours or until firm.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Make My Favorite Brownie recipe up to step 4, but don't put the mixture in the tin yet.
- Divide the brownie mixture between two lined 20x30cm (8x12-inch) brownie tins (or use one and bake two batches) and use a spatula to spread the batter right into the edges. It will be very thin, as these will be your sandwich layers. Bake each tray for ten minutes, then remove from the oven and leave to cool completely in the tin.
- Remove the brownie layers from the tins and re-line one of the tins with another sheet of baking parchment. Put one brownie layer into the tin, then press the ice-cream layer on the top of it. Add the final layer then return to the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove the ice-cream sandwich slab from the freezer about ten minutes before serving. Use a sharp knife or pastry cutter to cut shapes-I like the effect of a circular cutter.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your brownie ice cream sandwiches.
- Don't overmix the brownie batter. Overmixing will make the brownies tough.
- Bake the brownies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry.
- Let the brownies cool completely before assembling the sandwiches. This will help prevent them from falling apart.
- Use a good quality ice cream. This will also make a big difference in the taste of your sandwiches.
- Soften the ice cream slightly before spreading it on the brownies. This will make it easier to spread and will help prevent it from breaking the brownies.
- Freeze the sandwiches for at least 2 hours before serving. This will help them firm up and make them easier to eat.
Conclusion:
Brownie ice cream sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet treat that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a something easy to impress your friends or family, give brownie ice cream sandwiches a try.
