Click here for my Chocolate Cheesecake Brownie recipe and omit the cheesecake layer. Bake for the same time.
Freeze overnight - Freezing the Ice Cream Cake until it is hard is a critical step. This is a make ahead dessert. If you couldn't make that happen serve it in jars, martini glasses or sundae dishes and invent a different version. It will still be delicious.
Use a hot knife - The heat of the knife helps cut through the frozen cake. Wiping the knife after each cut will ensure every piece looks nice.
