Here’s a mouthwatering dessert that takes minimal effort!
Check out this easy frozen ice cream cake that starts with a boxed brownie mix. You can then spread some softened ice cream in any flavor and whipped topping to build a fun and easy dessert. I even added some cookie crumbles and a drizzle of chocolate sauce to take this idea over the top.
This dreamy, layered dessert screams “I spent hours on this,” even though you didn’t. 😉

Extra tips for making this chocolate brownie ice cream cake:
- Mix in fudge or peanut butter between layers if you want to level up.
- Make this ahead of time so that it will have time to set up in the freezer. Mine was ready to serve in about 2-3 hours.
- You can easily opt for a gluten-free, low-sugar or keto brownie mix to accommodate various dietary needs. You can even customize the type of ice cream as well.
🎉 This brownie ice cream cake is perfect for:
- Summer birthdays
- Cookouts and BBQs
- Celebrations where you “forgot” to make dessert
- Any random weekend, really
It’s rich like a brownie, cool like ice cream, and light like whipped topping with just the right cookie crunch. Make one this weekend and try not to eat it all in one sitting. (No promises.)
