First, make the coconut ice cream:
- Put all the ice cream ingredients in a blender and process until well combined.
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture in a freezer-friendly container and place it in the freezer. You will need to take out the ice cream and vigorously stir it by hand every hour for about 3 times while it freezes. This will prevent hard crystals from forming and you will end up with a smoother ice cream.
- If you have an ice cream maker, Transfer the mixture to your ice cream maker bowl and churn according to the instructions. Once done, transfer to a freezer safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until the desired consistency is reached.
Then prepare the brownie cake according to the instructions on the packaging, and let it cool completely. You want the brownie to be fully cooled, as the ice cream will melt if it is still warm.
- Once cooled, cut the brownie in half, so you have 2 same-sized rectangles.
- Line the same baking pan in which you baked the brownie with parchment paper and with enough overhang on the sides so you can lift the brownie sandwich out easily.
- Put one brownie rectangle in the pan.
- Remove the ice cream from the freezer to soften it slightly .
- Spread the softened ice cream on top of the brownie half that’s in the pan, as evenly as possible.
- Place the second rectangle of brownie on top of the ice cream and press down gently to help it stick.
- Place the whole pan in the freezer for at least 12 hours and maximum 18 hours.
- To cut the ice cream sandwich, lift the whole cake from the baking pan with the parchment paper and place on a cutting board. With a serrated knife, cut into squares or rectangles in any size you would like.
- Serve immediately or, to store, wrap each sandwich tightly with plastic wrap and return to the freezer until ready to serve. If they’re super hard when you want to serve, let them sit out for a few minutes before enjoying.
- They keep easily in the freezer for up to one month.
