Ingredients

16 ounces brownie mix and ingredients needed to make brownies (Note 1)
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1.5 quart vanilla ice cream (Note 2)
13 ounces Oreo Cookies 1 package (Note 3)
1 cup mini M&Ms
½ cup sprinkles
Toppings: chocolate syrup, whipped cream

Instructions

Prepare the brownies according to the package instructions. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread the brownie batter in an even layer. Sprinkle with chocolate chips before baking. Bake the brownies according to the package instructions (about 25-30 minutes) or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Do not overbake the brownies. Cool brownies before the next step.
Take the ice cream out of the freezer and allow it to soften on the countertop for 15 minutes. The ice cream should be soft but not melted completely.
Scoop the ice cream on top of the cooled brownies into an even layer. Use a large metal spoon to spread it out.
Crush the Oreo cookies in a large zip-top bag. Sprinkle evenly over the ice cream. Cover and place back into the freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 3 hours or until frozen.
Remove the brownie cake from the freezer at least 10-15 minutes before serving to allow for easy cutting. Also, a sharp knife that has been warmed up with warm water and dried before cutting the cake will help.
Sprinkle mini M&Ms and sprinkles over the brownie cake if serving a crowd, or top individual pieces if concerned about the M&Ms bleeding color into the ice cream.
Drizzle chocolate syrup and whipped cream and serve!

Notes

Note 1: Use a gluten free brownie mix if wanted. If the recipe calls for chocolate chips, you can omit them.

Note 2: Double check the ingredients on the ice cream for hidden ingredients like wheat, or high fructose corn syrup. Not all brands are the same. My favorite options are the ones with simple, minimal ingredients.

Note 3: Use gluten free Oreo’s, either regular or double stuffed.
