Rocky Road Brownie Ice Cream Cake is made with rich chocolaty brownies, Rocky Road ice cream, and Best Ever Hot Fudge. Easy to make, even better to devour.
It was my mom’s birthday and of course, I wanted to make her birthday cake. Her favorite ice cream is Rocky Road and I thought what a perfect way to celebrate my mom. So I decided that an ice cream bake would be the way to go, naturally I made the crust using brownies, I mean you can’t go wrong with that right?
I topped this bad boy with Cool Whip, although you could use homemade whipped topping instead. I would suggest my homemade Chocolate Whipped Cream (yum) and the BEST EVER Hot Fudge Sauce. Marshmallows and peanuts go well as a topping too. We opted for just marshmallows.

Rocky Road Brownie Ice Cream Cake
Ingredients
- 2.25 quarts Rocky Road Ice Cream I used 1 1/2 containers of Breyers
- 1 brownie mix I used Ghirardelli, prepared & baked in 8 or 9-inch spring form pan
- 8 ounces Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream
Optional Toppings
- Best Ever Fudge Sauce recipe below
- peanuts
- marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare brownie mix according to package directions, be sure to bake in a 8 or 9-inch spring form pan. You may also use a square or pie pan, just not as easy to remove.
- Cool brownies, I quicken the process by sticking them in the fridge after sitting on the counter to cool for 10 minutes.
- Once brownies are cool, remove ice cream from freezer, spread the ice cream over the chilled brownies. Making sure to smooth it out. It is easier if you let the ice cream sit on the counter for 5-10 minutes to let it soften just a bit.
- After you have spread the ice cream over the brownies, cover with wax paper, making sure to stick the wax paper on the ice cream so that it doesn’t fall off.
- Set back in the freezer for 2-4 hours to fully set and harden.
- Right before serving, make Best Ever Fudge Sauce Recipe. Trust me ,it is easy and totally worth it.
- Remove cake from freezer, slice into servings, top with whipped cream, drizzle with hot fudge sauce and any additional toppings you desire: marshmallows or peanuts.
- YUM! Eat up.
