Jump to RecipeEasy to Make Mini Ice Cream Cakes
Step 1: Individual Ice Cream Cakes
Begin by making Duncan Hines brownies in a 9 x 13 pan and make them in the chocolate fudge style. This especially makes this dessert decadent.
Break the Cookies in Half
Step 2: Add Cookie Halves to the Side of the Pan
While they are baking begin breaking Pirouette Cookies. Make these the height of the pan of your springform pan. I found these at Walmart in case you have a hard time finding these cookies. Make these the height of the pan of your springform pan.
Adding the Fudge Brownies to the Pan
Step 3: Add Brownies to the Bottom
After the brownies have cooled slightly, begin cutting pieces to fit a single-size spring form pan. Press lightly into the bottom of the pan.
Generally, I enjoy serving individual-size desserts after a large meal.

Adding the Pirouettes to the Sides
Step 4: Making the Sides of These Ice Cream Cakes Elegant
Next, lightly press the cookies into the brownie filling the edge, and freeze overnight. Freezing these overnight will also make them very cold so the cookies are frozen into place.
Making Brownie Crumbs for a Garnish
Step 5: Brownie Crumble Sprinkle on the Top
Also, any leftover brownies place into a small food processor to grind. After grinding them into brownie crumbles, place them in a bowl in the refrigerator overnight. I also did this because the brownies are fudgy and needed to stiffen. The next day remove them and they will be stiff. Don’t be concerned. Move them around with a spoon slightly and sit at room temperature.
Adding the Ice Cream
Step 6: Add the Ice Cream to the Top
Next, I began adding my extra creamy Breyers vanilla ice cream. Using a drinking glass to press the ice cream slightly to flatten it. Continue adding extra ice cream until filled to the top. Also, smooth with the back of a small spoon.
Incidentally, if you are using vanilla ice cream I highly recommend this version. It’s so creamy and Delicious!
Adding the Cookie Crumbles
Step 5: Sprinkle the Tops with Crumbs
Lastly, sprinkle the tops with the ground-up brownies and freeze at a minimum of overnight.
Serve and enjoy these delicious easy decadent individual ice cream cakes.
I hope you enjoyed seeing this easy individual ice cream cake Pirouette cookies and make this for one of your gatherings.
