Ingredients
Instructions
- Make brownie mix according to the package directions and allow it to cool.
- While the brownies are cooling, let the ice cream soften at room temperature.
- Once the brownies are cooled, spread the softened ice cream evenly over the top.
- Decorate with sprinkles, chocolate sauce, M&M's, or your favorite toppings if desired.
- Serve immediately or freeze briefly to firm up before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a handful of chocolate chips to the brownie mix before baking. You can use any flavor of ice cream, but chocolate or vanilla works especially well with brownies. If you prefer, substitute the brownie mix with a homemade brownie recipe for a personal touch. Be sure to let the brownies cool completely before spreading the ice cream to prevent melting.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the brownie pie into wedges and serve it with a drizzle of chocolate sauce or whipped cream for added indulgence. Pair it with a refreshing Yoo Hoo Chocolate Drink for a nostalgic touch. This dessert is perfect for parties or family gatherings, and you can customize toppings to suit any occasion or preference.
Storage & Reheating
If you have leftovers, store the brownie pie in an airtight container in the freezer. This will keep it fresh for up to a week. When ready to serve, allow it to sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes for easier slicing. Avoid reheating in the microwave; it’s best enjoyed cold straight from the freezer.

The possibilities are endless! You can use sprinkles, crushed candies, or fresh fruit to add texture and flavor. Chocolate sauce and whipped cream are classic choices. For a fun twist, try adding some crushed Marshmallow Cookies or nuts for crunch.
