Ingredients:

Brownie Layer:

- 3/4 cup (177ml) canola oil

- 1 1/2 cups (340g) sugar

- 3 large eggs

- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla

- 3/4 cup (100g) all-purpose flour

- 3/4 cup (70g) cocoa powder (any type)

- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Ice Cream Layer:

- 1.5 quart (1.41L) ice cream (flavor of choice)

- 1/2-3/4 cup (118-177ml) hot fudge sauce

Whipped Cream Frosting:

- 2 cups (473ml) of heavy whipping cream

- 1/2 cup (50g) powdered sugar

- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla

- sprinkles for topping

Method:

Brownie:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (176 C). Line a 9″ round cake pan with foil, leaving enough to overhang around the edges. This will help you to remove it from the pan later.

In a large bowl, combine the oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Add the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix just until combined and no more. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or just until edges are set and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. (The toothpick should not be wet with batter). Let cool completely in the pan.

Ice Cream Layer: Let ice cream soften so it’s easier to work with. Meanwhile, Line another 9″ round cake pan with plastic wrap. Be sure to leave plenty of overhangs to cover the ice cream with.

Once the ice cream is soft enough spoon it into the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer. Try to press out any air pockets. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 8 hours and up to 3 days.

Once ready to assemble, remove the brownie from the pan and remove the foil. Place on desired cake stand or plate. Spread hot fudge sauce over top of the brownie. Remove ice cream from the pan and remove plastic wrap. Quickly place on top of hot fudge sauce. Cover cake with plastic wrap and place back in the freezer for 30 minutes.

Whipped Cream Frosting: Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer, whip the cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Remove the cake from the freezer and spread whipped cream all over the ice cream and brownie. You can pipe decorations if you like! Place in the freezer for 30 minutes or until whipped cream is solid.

How to serve an ice cream cake:

If serving shortly after making this cake, remove it from the freezer and use a long serrated knife wiping clean after each slice. If this has been in the freezer awhile remove it and let stand for a good 15 minutes before cutting into it. Customize your ice cream cake!

Use any ice cream flavor you want. Mint, strawberry, Oreo, chocolate chip cookie dough, peanut butter cup……..oooooh now I want to make another one!!There is a layer of hot fudge sauce in between the ice cream and brownie and you decide if you want to keep it or not. In this layer, you can add crushed cookies (like Oreos), candies (peanut butter cups), nuts, you name it.
