Why you’ll love this recipe

Ingredients Needed
- Brownies – Bake part of the box of brownies or use my homemade brownie mix and bake a loaf pan size.
- Heavy whipping cream: You can substitute 2 (8 ounces each) containers of Cool Whip instead of the heavy cream.
- Sweetened condensed milk: you can use fat-free sweetened condensed milk if you prefer
- Brownie mix: just the powder of the brownie mix. We will use this powder to mix into the sweetened condensed milk for flavor!
How to make Brownie Ice Cream
- You’ll need to bake some brownies – or even buy some premade ones – and let them cool.
- Beat heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- Stir brownie mix (powder) into the sweetened condensed milk and fold this into the whipped cream.
- Crumble some of the brownies you baked to turn them into brownie bites. You can use as much or as few as you like. (I used about ½ of the loaf.) I won’t judge you for how you dispose of the rest of the batch.
- Carefully fold into the ice cream mixture.
- Freeze in a container until hard. Takes about 4 hours to chill but I find the best results when I let it chill overnight.

I used a brownie mix for the cake part and vanilla bean ice cream. Everthing was going great, even flipping the cake. Here’s where I got lost. I only remembered the recipes, that i read, saying to powdered sugar the towel you use to roll it in. So i flipped the cake onto a very powdered towel. BUT YOU MUST ALSO POWDER THE TOP OF THE CAKE. So when you roll it NEITHER SIDE of the towel sticks. My initial thought was to use wax paper, covering the towel front and back, because I had planned on frosting my cake. I wish I had followed my own instincts regarding the rolling part. The cake was UGLY, but DELICIOUS. I probably won’t try another rolled cake again.
First of all, AUGUST should be called “national ice cream month” it IS the HOTTEST month, of the year! (Remember “dog days”?) Second, I got an ice cream maker from my local Goodwill® store. It’s from “discovery kids®” prouducts. It’s made like a kid’s “toy” because it’s mostly made of plastic. (but I know it works) I’m going to try it out on one of these ice cream recipes. I’ll let you know, how it turns out….Okay?
Enjoy Mary!
