Chocolate Ice Cream Cake

Ice cream cake is the perfect dessert for warm weather, and this chocolate ice cream cake is the perfect dessert for chocoholics. It starts with a thick brownie base, then there’s cold and creamy chocolate ice cream on top. It’s then topped with fudgy chocolate ganache and a little chocolate frosting around the edges to add even more chocolate and give it a truly impressive look.
The recipe itself takes very little effort, but you need to plan in advance so that the ice cream has enough time to firm up. I typically make the brownie base and assemble the chocolate layer the day before I plan to serve, and then do the toppings the next day.
