Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Layer
- 20 ounces brownie mix (prepared according to package instructions)
Cookie Layer
- 15 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
Ice Cream Layer
- 1 quart of your favorite ice cream (vanilla, chocolate, or a mix)
Instructions
- Prepare Brownies: Prepare the brownie mix as directed on the package, then pour the batter into a 9×13 inch pan and bake. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan to ensure the ice cream layer doesn’t melt.
- Chop Oreos: While the brownies cool, roughly chop the Oreo cookies into bite-sized pieces for texture and crunch in the cake.
- Layer Brownies: After the brownies have cooled completely, ensure they are evenly spread in the pan to form a level base layer for the dessert.
- Add Oreo Pieces: Sprinkle the chopped Oreo cookies evenly over the cooled brownie layer to add a satisfying cookie crunch.
- Layer Ice Cream: Scoop your chosen ice cream over the Oreo cookie layer and spread it out evenly to cover the entire surface of the pan for a smooth, creamy top layer.
- Freeze the Cake: Place the assembled cake in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours or until the ice cream is fully set and firm.
- Serve: Once frozen solid, slice the ice cream cake into servings using a sharp knife and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious and easy-to-make ice cream cake!
Notes
- Allow brownies to cool completely before adding ice cream to prevent melting.
- You can substitute Oreos with any other favorite cookie for variation.
- Use any ice cream flavor or a combination to customize the cake.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap or foil while freezing to prevent freezer burn.
- To make slicing easier, dip the knife in hot water and wipe dry before cutting.
