Brownie Bottom Ice Cream Cake Food

BROWNIE ICE CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven as directed on the box brownie mix. Spray a 9x13 inch pan with cooking spray, then mix up the brownie batter as directed on the box. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake brownies as directed on box.
• Cool brownies completely.
• Soften both ice creams if planning to make the entire cake right now. (For more distinct layers, cake can be frozen after adding the first ice cream layer. If you plan to do that, only soften the chocolate ice cream now.)
• Scoop the chocolate ice cream out onto brownie, then spread it out in an even layer.
• Warm the hot fudge gently until it's just pourable, and pour it over the chocolate ice cream. Crush the Oreos and sprinkle them over the fudge topping.
• If desired at this point you can freeze cake for 1 hour to make adding the next layers easier.
• Scoop softened peanut butter ice cream over the Oreos and spread in an even layer.
• Top with whipped topping and sprinkles, if desired.
• Cover and freeze for at least 8 hours (or up to 24 hours) until firm.
• Slice using a sharp knife and serve. If cake has been frozen for 24 hours or more, you may need to let it rest on the counter for 15 minutes to soften a bit before slicing.

BROWNIE ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 2 9-inch cake pans.
• Combine the brownie mix, vegetable oil, water, and eggs in a mixing bowl; stir well with a spoon until thickened and smooth, about 1 minute. Spread the batter into the prepared cake pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set and browned, about 30 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of a pan should come out with moist crumbs. Let cool for 10 minutes in pans before removing to finish cooling on racks.
• After brownies are cool, remove ice cream from freezer and allow to soften for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, pour sweetened condensed milk into a saucepan, and mix in the chocolate chips; heat over low heat, stirring constantly, just until chips have melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool to barely warm temperature.
• Place one of the layers of brownies into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Evenly spread the ice cream in a layer over the brownies; pour and spread half the chocolate sauce over the ice cream. Top with the other brownie layer, and drizzle the remaining sauce over the top. Freeze until ready to eat, at least 1 hour. Serve topped with whipped topping, if desired.

STRAWBERRY AND BROWNIE ICE CREAM CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE GANACHE

Steps:

• For the ice cream cake: Bring the heavy cream to a simmer in a small pot. Pour the cream over the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and stir until smooth. Allow to cool 10 minutes before using.
• Butter a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with a parchment paper circle.
• Cover the bottom of the prepared pan with the brownies, using any extra pieces to line the sides of the pan if desired. Spread the chocolate ganache on top.
• Scoop the ice cream onto the ganache layer, packing it in tightly. Spread with an offset spatula to make a smooth top. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
• Unmold the cake by running a knife around the edge of it, then unhinge the springform and remove. Invert the cake onto a sheet of plastic wrap and remove the bottom of the pan and the parchment. Place a plate on the bottom and invert once more.
• For the chocolate whipped cream frosting: Add the heavy cream, chocolate syrup, confectioners' sugar and vanilla to a large bowl and whip with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. (This makes enough frosting to cover the top and sides of the cake with additional to pipe decorations if desired.)
• Frost the top and sides of the cake with the chocolate whipped cream frosting, sprinkle with the cookies and drizzle with chocolate sauce. If the cake begins to get too soft, put it back into the freezer for a few minutes.
• Freeze another 1 1/2 to 2 hours or overnight. Before serving, let the cake sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.

BLACK AND WHITE BROWNIE ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line a rimmed 12-by-8 1/2-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Spray the paper with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
• In a large bowl, use a rubber spatula to stir together the brownie mix, eggs, liqueur, vegetable oil and almond extract. Spread the mixture evenly over the prepared baking pan. Bake until the brownie is just set, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Line a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with a piece of parchment paper across the short way, so there is about 2 inches of overhang on either side. Remove the ice cream from the freezer to soften just slightly.
• Place the brownie sheet on a cutting board and cut into 3 rectangles. Place one brownie on the bottom of the prepared loaf pan. Scoop the softened vanilla ice cream on top of the brownie and spread evenly with an offset spatula. Place another brownie rectangle on top of the ice cream and press down gently. Scoop the softened chocolate-chocolate chip ice cream on top and spread evenly. Top with the last brownie, press firmly, and wrap in plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 5 hours or preferably overnight.
• To unmold, run a thin knife along the two short sides of the pan to loosen. Invert the cake onto a chilled plate. Peel off the parchment and dust the cake with the confectioners' sugar if using. If desired, line the sides with the mini candy canes. Return the cake to the freezer to set for 10 minutes. Slice and serve.
