Ingredients:
| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Brownie Mix (package) | 1 box |
| Water | 1/2 cup |
| Eggs | 2 |
| Vegetable Oil | 1/4 cup |
| Chocolate Sandwich Cookies | 18 |
| Ice Cream (your choice) | 1 quart |
| Chocolate Syrup | for garnish |
Instructions:
-
Preheat and Prepare: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 13x9x3-inch baking pan with foil, ensuring it extends over the edges for easy removal, and grease it lightly.
-
Chop Cookies: Coarsely chop 14 of the chocolate sandwich cookies and set them aside for later use.
-
Mix Brownie Batter: In a large mixing bowl, prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions. Typically, this involves combining the brownie mix with water, eggs, and vegetable oil. Once combined, gently fold in the chopped cookies until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Spread Batter: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure it reaches all corners.
-
Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 28 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted about 2 inches from the edge comes out almost clean.
-
Cool and Cut: Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, carefully lift the brownies out of the pan using the foil overhang and transfer them to a cutting board. Cut the brownies in half crosswise.
-
Create Layers: Place one half of the brownie, upside down, on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Spread a generous layer of your favorite ice cream over the brownie, extending it all the way to the edges. Top with the remaining half of the brownie, creating a brownie and ice cream sandwich.
-
Freeze: Wrap the brownie and ice cream sandwich tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for 3 to 4 hours, or until firm.
-
Shape Pyramids: Once firm, remove the brownie from the freezer and cut it into 4 rectangles measuring approximately 4 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches each. Then, carefully halve each rectangle diagonally to form 8 triangular brownie pieces.
-
Assemble and Garnish: To assemble the towering brownie pyramids, stand each triangular brownie on its side on a serving plate. Cut the remaining 4 chocolate sandwich cookies in half and use them to garnish the pyramids along with a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
-
Serve: Your Towering Brownie Pyramids are now ready to be served! Enjoy them immediately for a deliciously indulgent treat, or return them to the freezer until you’re ready to enjoy.
