BROWNIE FUDGE ICE CREAM CAKE

Never buy an ice cream cake, when you can make one for less than half the price.

Frost the sides with royal iceing or leave plain. Possibilities are endless.

9 INCH SPRING FORM PAN

Spray bottom with butter PAM

1 carton Vanilla ice cream

1 carton chocolate/ or vanilla fudge ice cream

1 can of chocolate frosting

1 bottle caramel topping

1 box of Brownie Mix

Mix brownies according to directions on box. Pour 1/2 of mix into Spring Form pan and bake, but less time using only half the mix. I put the remaining mix in a 9 inch sq pyrex dish.( will use for the top of cake)

Test with a tooth pick for doneness.

While brownie is cooling off ( I put in refridgerator to speed up process) Set out first ice cream you want on the bottom. Leave out til it is soft enough to spread.

Spread ice cream over brownie. Make sure you continue to spread ( I use a spoon) over and over so the melted part of the ice cream fills in any small gaps and holes that may be in the middle or around the edge.

Put in freezer til firm.

While cake is in the freezer, take out 2nd ice cream and let get soft. Repeat over 1st layer.

Put cake back in freezer til firm. 

Break up other brownie into chunck's and place on top.

Take a spoon and drizzle caramel topping over brownie

Open frosting and stir, adding a drop or 2 of water to thin out enough so frosting runs down sides of cake when applied around the top edge of cake.

Place back in freezer for at least 6 hours minimum.

Take from freeze and dip in sink of hot water for 3-5 seconds to release pan from cake. Unlatch spring from pan. Cut and serve.

The possibilities are end less. BE CREATIVE.
