Ingredients

3 cups half-and-half cream
3/4 cup sugar, divided
3 tablespoons baking cocoa
6 egg yolks
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 package fudge brownie mix (8-inch square pan size)

Prepare and bake brownies according to package directions. Cool on a wire rack; cut into 1/2-in. cubes.
Fill cylinder of ice cream freezer two-thirds full with custard; freeze according to manufacturer’s directions. Stir in half of the brownie cubes. Refrigerate remaining custard until ready to freeze. Add remaining brownies. When ice cream is frozen, transfer to a freezer container; freeze for 2-4 hours before serving. Yield: about 1-1/2 quarts.
