Brownie Ice Cream

If you can imagine your favorite homemade brownies transformed into a smooth and creamy bowl of ice cream, then you have a glimpse of the awesomeness that is this Brownie Ice Cream.

Brownie Ice Cream

You can use any brownies that you like for this ice cream. I used these Dark Chocolate Brownies last time I made this ice cream and these Gluten-Free Double Chocolate Brownies are also great in this recipe.

I’m thinking this ice cream would also be fantastic with Peanut Butter Fudge Brownies. I very happily made brownie sundaes with this ice cream and the dessert was an enormous hit with our friends. There wasn’t a bite of this ice cream left the next day.

Yes, I did serve this ice cream over warm brownies. Too much decadence? Not at all! (Is there ever such a thing as too much chocolate?!)

I stumbled on these Oreo sugar cones at the grocery store the other day and couldn’t resist picking up a box to try. They’re a total winner! Absolutely snackable on their own, no joke.

Side note: buy them at the store, not online. The online price is absurd, but I wanted to show you the cone I’m holding in this photo.

How to Make this Ice Cream

1. Add the milk, cream, vanilla, sugar, and salt to a blender pitcher. Add enough crumbled brownies to fill the pitcher to the 4-cup mark. Blend until smooth.
2. Pour into the ice cream machine and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Transfer to an airtight container and stir in brownie chunks. Place in the freezer until firm.

Ice Cream and Brownies

There’s something extra special about chocolate ice cream over a warm brownie. All of the ice creams I’ve linked below are delicious with brownies!

Much like the Chocolate Lava Cakes with their gooey center and a crackling cake-like crust, there is no other dessert that thrills chocolate lovers like chocolate + chocolate.

Oreo Ice Cream is not your everyday cookies and cream ice cream. (Although don’t get me wrong, I love a great Cookies and Cream Ice Cream!) The base of this ice cream tastes just like Oreo cookies.

Rich Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream with chocolate and peanut butter chunks mixed throughout is a dream come true for any ice cream lover.

Spicy Chocolate Ice Cream is cold, creamy chocolate with a hint of spicy heat from chili and cinnamon. This ice cream warms your mouth even as you are chilled from the ice cream.

Death by Chocolate Ice Cream by Meg’s Everyday Indulgence is seriously loaded with chocolate chips, Oreos, chocolate sprinkles, and brownies.

Homemade Rocky Road Ice Cream is creamy chocolate and almond-flavored ice cream loaded with chewy marshmallows, crunchy almonds, and flecks of chocolate.

Vanilla Bean Salted Caramel Sauce + Brownie Chunks + Creamy Vanilla Bean Ice Cream = Caramel Swirl Brownie Chunk Ice Cream. This adds up to a heck of an AWESOME way to celebrate pretty much any occasion.
