Dark Brownie Fudge Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup dark fudge sauce

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
2. Melt the chocolate chips and butter together in a double boiler over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well blended. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture and stir just until combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Let the brownies cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and fudge sauce until well blended. Refrigerate until ready to use.
8. To assemble the ice cream, crumble the cooled brownies into small pieces and place in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour the cream mixture over the brownies and stir to combine.
9. Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
