Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups unsalted butter, melted
- 2 ¼ cups granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cups light brown sugar, packed
- 6 large eggs, room temperature
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups cocoa powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1.5 quarts of your favorite ice cream flavor
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 8×8-inch pans and line with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vegetable oil and vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Divide batter between prepared pans and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
- Let ice cream soften for 5-10 minutes. Place one brownie layer back into a pan and spread softened ice cream on top. Add the second brownie layer.
- Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight. Let thaw for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use a serrated knife for cleaner cuts after freezing.
- Try different ice cream flavors for fun variations.
- Line pans with parchment paper to make lifting brownies easier.
- Use a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version.
