Ingredients
- 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter 3/4 cup, room temperature
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 pints vanilla ice cream 1 quart
Instructions
Chocolate Wafers
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a medium rimmed baking sheet and line with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until creamy, about 1 minute.
- Beat in the eggs one-by-one along with the vanilla until combined.
- Beat in the flour mixture and beat until combined.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and use a spatula to smooth to an even layer about 1/4-inch (3/4 cm) thick.
- Bake 10-12 minutes until a cake tester inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Remove pan to a wire rack to cool.
Assembly
- Remove ice cream from freezer to soften 15 minutes before assembly.
- Once cool, lift the edges of the parchment/baking mat and invert the cake onto a cutting board or work surface. Peel off any parchment.
- Using a paring knife (and ruler if required), cut the cake into two equal halves, trimming the edges to be straight as needed.
- When ice cream is soft, spoon onto one half, and use an offset spatula to spread it into an even 3/4-inch (2 cm) layer. Work quickly to minimize melting.
- Place the remaining brownie piece on top, smooth side facing up.
- Promptly wrap with parchment or wax paper. Freeze for at least 4 hours.
- Remove from freezer and peel off paper. Cut 12 (3x4) or 16 (4x4) sandwiches. Optional: use a toothpick to poke 6-8 holes into each wafer.
- Serve or refreeze until serving.
