Ingredients Needed

  • Brownies: you could use a box mix or my homemade brownie mix or use my favorite brownie recipe!
  • Sweetened condensed milk: all of my homemade ice cream recipes have sweetened condensed milk 
  • Peanut butter: make sure you’re using no-stir peanut butter to avoid the oily mess that natural peanut butter makes
  • Whipped topping: or fresh whipped cream whichever one you prefer

How to make Brownies and Ice Cream

  5. You are lucky that Mel doesn’t enjoy dessert so much. Just think how it would be if he couldn’t EVER keep his hands out of the dessert. You wouldn’t be able to give it away fast enough. Ha! So, it’s actually a blessing in disguise. Hope he has a wonderful birthday! These brownies look phenomenal!
