Thin Mint Brownies and No Churn Brownie Batter Ice Cream

No ice cream maker needed for this delicious brownie batter cheesecake flavored ice cream!

Whenever the toddler, babe, and I head into the kitchen to make something, the toddler’s default statement is “Mama make treat Greyson.” Whether we are making a quick lunch, a savory dinner, a healthy snack, or an actual treat, he always claims we are making him a treat.

I’m certainly NOT complaining that he equates Greek yogurt popsicles (one of our favorite things to make together as of late), a big ole’ lasagna, or a chicken wrap to being a treat, because it sure makes it easy to convince him to try anything new. That and he always gets all his fruits and veggies in because he is certain they are a treat.

That said, when we do make him an actual dessert treat, he gets beyond excited. Hands down our favorite dessert treat to make together are brownies from a box. (Evidenced here, here, here, here, here…?) They are pretty impossible to mess up which is important with a toddler that thinks he knows how to bake all by himself.

So naturally, we needed another excuse to make some brownies and throw them into something. ICE CREAM! This fudgy brownie ice cream is insanely delicious and all too easy to make!

Hope you love these!
