Ingredients for brownies:

• ½ cup cocoa
• ½ cup butter (1 stick)
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• ¼ cup flour
• 1 cup chopped or broken up walnuts or pecans
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• Pinch of salt

½ gallon of pistachio ice cream

½ gallon of black cherry ice cream

½ gallon of chocolate ice cream

1-pint whole whipping cream

¼ cup sugar

Maraschino cherries

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 325 degrees
2. Melt butter in saucepan with cocoa and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes, then transfer to a large bowl. Whisk in eggs, one at a time. Stir in vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl, combine sugar, flour, nuts, and salt. Add to the cocoa-butter mixture. Stir until just combined.
4. Pour into greased 8x8 inch square pan. Bake 30 to 35 minutes. Do not overbake; the brownies should be gooey. Let cool.
5. Remove ice cream from the freezer to soften
6. Grease the bottom of a nine-inch spring form pan with coconut oil
7. Cut the brownies into square and crumble with your hands. Next, spread on the bottom of the spring form pan to form an even crust.
8. Scoop heaping spoonful of ice cream to cover the crust with the Pistachio flavored ice cream. Use a spatula to spread evenly. Quickly do the same for the black cherry flavor. Place the cake in the freezer for 20 minutes to avoid melting and leaking from the spring form pan. Remove from freezer and complete the third layer of ice cream with the chocolate layer.
9. Freeze cake for 6-8 hours before serving
10. Make whip cream in a standing mixer. At a medium/high speed mix the pint of cream and add ¼ cup of sugar until the cream is forming soft peaks and you’ve achieved the desired consistency
11. Remove from freezer and release from the spring form pan. Spread whipped cream and top with maraschino cherries.
12. Dip a sharp knife in boiling water before attempting to cut
