Instructions
Make the Fudge Sauce:
- In a saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and cream until smooth.
- Once warmed through, gradually add cubed butter, whisking until fully melted.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Let cool slightly, then store in a mason jar and refrigerate until ready to use. (Bring to room temperature before mixing into ice cream.)
Make the Caramel Sauce:
- In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium heat, stirring gently until the sugar dissolves.
- Stop stirring and let the mixture cook until it turns a deep amber color (about 5–7 minutes).

- Let cool before using.
Prepare the Ice Cream Base:
- In a bowl, whisk together cream base, sugar, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Cover and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight for a smoother texture.
Churn & Layer:
- Pour the chilled ice cream base into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Just before the ice cream is finished churning, drizzle in a few spoonfuls of fudge sauce and let it swirl through for a few seconds.
- Turn off the machine and remove the dasher.
Assemble & Freeze:
- In a freezer-safe container, layer:
- A scoop of ice cream
- A handful of brownie bits
- A drizzle of fudge sauce
- A drizzle of caramel sauce
- Repeat until all ingredients are used.
- Gently mix a few times to create swirls but don’t overmix.
- Sprinkle a few extra brownie crumbs and sauce swirls on top.
