These decadent chocolate fudge brownie ice cream sandwiches combine rich, fudgy brownies with creamy ice cream for an indulgent homemade treat that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • ¾ cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder, preferably Dutch-processed
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 quart (946ml) vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
  • Optional add-ins: mini chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or sprinkles for rolling edges

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and packed light brown sugar until combined but not grainy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula until no flour patches remain. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top evenly.
  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter.
  8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 1 hour.
  9. Using a sharp, warmed knife, cut the brownies into 3×3 inch squares or rectangles, wiping the knife clean between cuts.
  10. Scoop about 1 to 2 tablespoons of slightly softened vanilla ice cream onto the bottom of one brownie piece. Top with another brownie piece and gently press to spread the ice cream evenly to the edges.
  11. Optionally, roll the edges of the sandwiches in mini chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or sprinkles.
  12. Place assembled sandwiches on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Do not overbake the brownies to keep them fudgy. Use room temperature eggs for better batter emulsification. Soften ice cream just enough to scoop easily but not melt. Cool brownies completely before assembly to prevent melting. Warm and clean your knife between cuts for neat edges. Espresso powder enhances chocolate depth without bitterness. You can freeze brownie squares first for easier assembly. Variations include gluten-free flour and dairy-free ice cream options.
