Easy Mint Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches
These mint brownie ice cream sandwiches come together so easily with boxed mix brownies and store-bought mint chocolate chip ice cream!
Ingredients
- 1 boxed brownie mix (or your favorite homemade recipe)
- 1½ quarts store-bought mint chocolate chip ice cream (or your favorite ice cream)
Instructions
For the Brownies
- Preheat oven based on the instructions on the back of your boxed mix brownies and line a baking pan with parchment paper, letting the extra paper hang off of the sides of the pan. Use a baking pan that is double the size of what the boxed mix brownies call for (I used a 9x13 inch pan for my Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate brownie mix).
- Mix up your brownie mix based on the instructions on the back of the box. If you live at high altitude, follow the adjustments on the back of the box.
- Start by baking your brownies for half of the time called for on the back of the box and monitor the brownies until they are just slightly underdone. This will make them easier to eat when they are frozen!
- Remove brownies from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
Assembly
- Once brownies are cooled, remove from the pan using the extra parchment paper hanging from the sides of the pan. Using a 2-inch square cookie cutter (or any size you'd like), cut squares of brownies out. Place on a baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour.
- Remove brownies from the freezer.
- Cut and peel the carton off of the ice cream and set the ice cream on its side. Using a sharp knife, cut slices of ice cream to desired thickness (mine were about 1½ inches thick).
- Using the same square cookie cutter that you used for the brownies, cut squares of ice cream. Set ice cream square on top of one chilled brownie square, and then top with another square. Gently press together.
- Once assembled, return all brownie ice cream sandwiches to the freezer to chill for 2 hours or more before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use any brownie mix and ice cream that you like! I used the Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate brownie mix and Turkey Hill All Natural Mint Chip ice cream
- Store brownie sandwiches in a freezer bag in the freezer for up to one month
