There's no better taste than the chocolatey madness of brownies, fudge, and ice cream made into a cake.

Provided by LIAGIBA

Categories     Desserts     Frozen Dessert Recipes     Ice Cream Cake Recipes

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.

  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
