    Add the vanilla, cream, and salt. Mix to combine. Then add the heat treated flour and mix to incorporate.

  7. Step 7

    Fold in the chocolate chips.

    Press the dough into a pan the same size as your brownie pan.

    Spread the softened Half Baked ice cream (from step 2) over the edible cookie dough.

    Top the Half Baked ice cream layer with your prepared brownie layer, ensuring that it has cooled to room temperature before doing so. Cover and place the pan in the freezer to chill.
