Notes

  • Scale this recipe to make as many servings as you need.
  • Keep the ice cream in the freezer until just before you're ready to scoop it. You don't want the ice cream to melt too quickly.
  • If desired, warm the brownie first. Use the microwave and heat at 15-second intervals until warm, but not too hot.
