These are perfect for gatherings such as Mother’s Day, birthdays, any special occasion, such as bridal showers, and even graduation parties!

If you don’t have individual springform pans, these can be found in the grocery store or on Amazon.

Step 1: Easy Individual Ice Cream Cakes Pirouette Cookies

Begin by making Duncan Hines brownies in a 9 x 13 pan. Make them in the chocolate fudge style. This makes this dessert decadent.

Step 2: Break the Pirouette Cookies in Half Add Cookies to the Side of the Pan

While the chocolate fudge brownies are baking, begin breaking the Pirouette Cookies. I found these at Walmart in case you have difficulty finding Piroutte cookies. Make these the height of your springform pan.

Step 3: Adding the Fudge Brownies to the Bottom of the Pan

After the brownies have cooled slightly, begin cutting pieces to fit a single size springform pan. Press lightly into the bottom of the pan.

Generally, I enjoy serving individual desserts after a large meal.

Step 4: Adding Pirouette Cookies to the Sides of Mini Ice Cream Cakes

Next, lightly press the Pirouette cookies into the brownie filling on the edge, and freeze overnight. Freezing these mini ice cream cakes overnight will also make them very cold, so the cookies are frozen into the chocolate fudge brownie.

Step 5: Brownie Crumble Sprinkle on the Top

Also, any leftover brownies are placed 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 hard. Don’t be concerned. Move the brownie cookie crumbles around with a spoon slightly and let them sit at room temperature.

Step 6: Add the Ice Cream to the Top

Next, I began adding my extra creamy Breyers vanilla ice cream. Use a drinking glass to press the ice cream slightly to flatten it. Continue adding extra ice cream until the mini ice cakes are full. Also, smooth the extra ice cream with the back of a small spoon.

If you are using vanilla ice cream, I highly recommend this version. It’s so creamy and Delicious!
