Ingredients

  1. 3 ½ cups cream base
  2. 1 tsp vanilla extract  

Fudge Sauce:

  1. ½  cup Butter
  2. ½ cup Heavy cream
  3. ½ cup Sugar
  4. ½ cup Cocoa powder
  5. ¼ tsp Salt
  6. 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Caramel Sauce:

  1. 1 ¼ cup heavy cream
  2. ½ cup corn syrup
  3. 1 ¼ cup sugar
  4. 1 cup water
  5. 2 Tbsp softened butter
  6. ½ -1 tsp salt
  7. 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Brownie Bits:

  1. 1 cup crumbled fudgy brownies (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

Fudge Sauce:

  1. Combine sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and cream in a saucepan over medium-low heat, whisking vigorously. 
  2. Once the mixture is warmed through add the cubed butter a few pieces at a time. Whisk to combine and make sure the butter is completely melted. 
  3. Remove the pan off the heat and whisk in vanilla extract. The fudge sauce should be thick and glossy. 
  4. Store in a mason jar and put in the refrigerator. (Let it come to room temperature when ready to use)

Caramel Sauce:

  1. Warm the cream, corn syrup, and salt over medium heat until the cream starts to simmer. Stir to dissolve the corn syrup.
  2. Take the pot off the heat and set aside.
  3. In another pot add the sugar and water and put it over medium heat; swirl the pot so the water covers the sugar. Do not stir the sugar, just swirl the pot when you have the urge to stir. 
  4. Allow the syrup to boil. Stay close and watch the syrup change colors from clear to golden to medium amber. Be sure not to let it burn.
  5. When it is a lovely amber color, take to pot from the heat and stir in the butter until it is fully melted, this will stop the cooking process.
  6. Then add the warm cream in a slow stream whisking as you go. Add the vanilla if using.
  7. Return the pot to a low heat and simmer until the caramel is smooth and even. (The caramel will have a liquid texture but will thicken as it cools.)
  8. Pour into another container to cool at room temperature then cover and refrigerate. When ready to use just stir with a spoon no need to reheat.

Ice Cream:

  1. In a bowl combine cream base and vanilla.
  2. Pour into the ice cream maker and churn. Churn until the mix starts to look solid and firm. It’s ready when a spoon is pressed across the top and it should leave an impression without collapsing for just a second.
  3. In the last minute of churning add the brownie bites.
  4. Turn off the machine and remove the dasher.
  5. Layer the container with ice cream then fudge and caramel sauces. Give the ice cream a little swirl at the end of layering.
  6. Cover and freeze for 8 hours or overnight.
