  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup crushed strawberries fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup brownie or cake crumbles
  • 1/2 cup chocolate syrup optional

  3. Layer the Ingredients: In a glass dish or individual dessert cups, begin layering! Start with a layer of the ice cream base, followed by a layer of brownie or cake crumbles. Repeat the layers until you reach the top, finishing with a dollop of ice cream.
  4. Drizzle with Chocolate Syrup: If desired, drizzle chocolate syrup over the top layer for some extra sweetness.
  5. Freeze: Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or until set.
  6. Serve: Let it sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before serving to soften slightly. Garnish with fresh strawberries and enjoy!
