Brownie Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Cake

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease 2 Fanci-Fill pans well.

Prepare brownie mix according to package instructions. Split batter evenly between the 2 pans.

Prepare cookie mix according to package instructions, and drop tablespoon-sized dollops of cookie dough and evenly intersperse it in the brownie batter (you’ll probably have some cookie dough leftover—just bake them off separately on a cookie sheet!).

Bake for 30-35 minutes and let cool completely.

To prepare ganache, heat heavy cream until it starts to boil. Pour it over the chocolate chips and whisk until smooth. Chill in the refrigerator as you assemble the cake.

Remove cake from pans. Fill cavities with ice cream, and assemble layers.

Place cake on a wire rack and pour ganache over it as desired. I decorated the top using a 1M tip and Cool Whip, and used melted white chocolate chips dyed green to write “Happy Birthday.”

Serve immediately and enjoy!
