BROWNIES WITH ICE CREAM RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Melt semi-sweet chocolate and unsweetened chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching. Remove double boiler from heat and cool chocolate to room temperature.
• Beat eggs into cooled chocolate using an electric mixer until smooth.
• Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat; remove saucepan from heat. Stir sugar, chocolate mixture, and vanilla extract into butter until smooth. Beat flour, baking powder, and salt into butter-chocolate mixture until batter is just mixed; pour into the prepared baking pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top is dry and the edges have started to pull away from the sides of the pan, 15 to 20 minutes. Allow brownies to cool in pan.
• Cut brownies into 24 squares. Slice each square horizontally and spread ice cream into the middle; place top brownie piece over ice cream. Wrap each ice cream sandwich with plastic wrap and freeze.

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.
