Notes

Instructions For My Decadent Dessert

Begin by making Duncan Hines brownies in a 9 x 13 pan and make them fudgy style.

Follow the instructons on the box for the brownies. I highly recommend fudge style brownies.

While they are baking begin breaking pirouette cookies. You can make these the height of the pan you will use for your ice cream cake. I'm using individual spring form pans.

After the brownies have cooled slightly, begin cutting pieces using the pan and carefully cut with a knife to fit a single size spring form pan.

Press lightly into the bottom of the pan.

Next lightly press the cookies into the brownie filling edges and freeze overnight.

Add the pirouette cookies around the outside and push lightly into brownie

Freeze these overnight. This will make this very cold so the cookies are frozen into place. And helps the ice cream get more firm when added and frozen.

After the brownies and cookies have frozen — Let the brownies and cookies freeze overnight

Any leftover brownies place into a small food processor to grind. After grinding them place this in a bowl and let them sit in the refrigerator overnight. I also did this because the brownies are fudgy and needed to stiffen.

gring leftover brownies in a food processor — After extra brownies are ground up in the food processer store in the refridgerator overnight. They will be stiff. No worries move them around with a spoon to lossen and sit at room temperature

The next day remove the crumbs from the refrigerator and they will be stiff. Don't be concerned. Move them around with a spoon slightly and allow to sit at room temperature.

Next, begin adding vanilla ice cream or ice cream of your choice.

Start adding ice cream of your choice — After adding one scoop of vanilla ice cream for the cakes smoothe with the bottom of a glass

Use a drinking glass to press the ice cream slightly to flatten. Continue this process until the ice cream is filled to the top.

Lastly, sprinkle the tops with the ground up brownies and freeze at a minimum of overnight.

Remove from the pans and place on a serving dish just before serving to guests. Enjoy these they are delicious, yummy desserts!
