Brownie bottom ice cream cake recipe

Alright, people, there’s a new cake in town. I love a classic cake just as much as the next gal (probably quite a bit more, actually), but there’s always room for a new take on cake, right? Technically, this dessert doesn’t have an ounce of cake in it – we’re just calling it cake because that’s what it looks like. It’s in a 9×13 pan and has sprinkles on top, after all. But that’s where the resemblance ends. So what’s this “cake” really made of?

This is the best birthday cake ever! Brownie ice cream cake has layers of brownie, chocolate ice cream, Oreos, fudge, PB ice cream and whipped cream. Delicious frozen dessert.

Oh, you know, just a layer of incredible fudgey brownie, topped with rich chocolate ice cream, topped with crushed Oreos and hot fudge, topped with creamy peanut butter ice cream, all finished off with a cool layer of whipped cream. This is brownie bottom ice cream cake, and it’s amazing!

Brownie bottom ice cream cake is an easy frozen dessert that tastes amazing! Fun recipe for birthday parties because it serves a crowd. Easy summer treat recipe.

Basically it’s made of indulgence and delight.

And the best part? You can customize the layers to your heart’s content, switching out ice cream flavors and toppings (although the toppings go in the middle, so maybe they should be called middlings here…)

Imagine brownie, toffee ice cream, Oreos + caramel sauce, and chocolate ice cream. Or crushed Reese’s peanut butter cups in the middle instead of Oreos. Or mint and vanilla ice creams. Or dark chocolate ice cream and white chocolate raspberry sorbet!

Yep, the sky’s the limit here. If you don’t already know your favorite grocery store’s ice cream section like the back of your hand, spend a few minutes perusing the selections next time you’re there and decide which flavors you’d like to combine into a cold, creamy bite of heaven.

After the card are a few extra notes on putting this puppy together, as well as a quick video.

Brownie Ice Cream Pie

Prep Time20 mins
Freezer Time12 hrs
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: Cake

Ingredients

  • 1 box Duncan Hines Family Size fudge Brownie Mix
  • 2 Eggs
  • Water & Oil as Directed on Box
  • 1.5 quart Chocolate Ice Cream
  • 1.5 quart Peanut Butter Ice Cream
  • 16 Oreos
  • 1 cup Hot Fudge
  • 8 oz Frozen Whipped Topping thawed

Instructions

  • Mix and bake brownies as directed on box in a 9x13 pan.
  • Cool completely.
  • Soften both ice creams.
  • Scoop chocolate out onto brownie, then spread it out in an even layer.
  • Warm hot fudge and pour over chocolate ice cream. Crush Oreos and spread over fudge.
  • If desired at this point you can freeze cake for 1 hour to make adding the next layers easier.
  • Scoop peanut butter ice cream over the Oreos and spread in an even layer.
  • Top with whipped topping and sprinkles, if desired.
  • Cover and freeze for at least 8 hours (or up to 24 hours) until firm.
  • Slice and serve. If cake has been frozen for 24 hours or more, you may need to let it rest on the counter for 15 minutes to soften a bit before slicing.

 

 

Notes:

  • You can use any brand of brownie mix you like, as long as it is a 9×13 size, but I vastly prefer Duncan Hines. I make it with 2 eggs and cook it just until a toothpick inserted near the edge comes out mostly clean. Fudgey is key here. Plus you don’t want crunchy edges or you’ll never be able to cut through them once the dessert is frozen. If you end up undercooking the brownie layer a bit, no worries. It’s going to be amazing once it’s frozen.
  • Make sure to soften your ice cream before you try to spread it across the brownie. You can either let it sit on the counter for a while or soften in your microwave. For best results, you can dump the entire container of ice cream in a large bowl and stir it up a bit to make sure it’s soft and spreadable before spreading it over the brownie layer.
  • For more distinct looking layers, freeze the cake in between layers. So bake the brownies, let them cool, and add the first layer of ice cream, then freeze a few hours until firm. Then add the fudge/Oreos and freeze, then add the second layer of ice cream. I’m much too lazy to take the time to do this, so I just layer everything at once and don’t stress about the fact that the layers get a little muddled, but it will be a bit prettier if you take the time to do one layer at a time.
  • Slicing this “cake” takes a bit of muscle. Definitely plan to let it sit on the counter for a few moments before you slice, especially if it’s been in the freezer overnight.

Enjoy!
