Ingredients

  • 1 box brownie mix (or homemade brownie batter)

  • Optional: chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, chopped nuts for garnish

Notes

  • Use blondie or cookie base instead of brownie for variation.
  • Layer chocolate chips, cookies, or caramel for extra texture.
  • Try different ice cream flavors like mint chip or strawberry.
  • Swirl peanut butter or fudge into ice cream for added richness.
  • Freeze up to 1 month; thaw slightly before slicing.
