Cookie Dough Brownie Ice Cream Sandwich

If you’ve been on Disney TikTok lately, you already know about the cookie dough brownie ice cream sandwich at Animal Kingdom. It has been all over my feed since I got back from the parks, and when we went two weeks ago, somehow I completely missed it. I’m talking walked right past the stand, didn’t even realize it existed until I got home and saw approximately 40 videos of it on my For You page. Classic.

So naturally I did what any reasonable person would do and recreated it at home. And honestly? I think we might have made it even better. The original is a fudgy brownie on the bottom, a thick layer of creamy vanilla ice cream in the middle, and a generous layer of edible cookie dough on top. It is the kind of dessert that sounds too good to be true until you take one bite and realize it is absolutely as good as everyone said it was.

The best part about making this at home is that you can control every single layer. The brownies are rich and chewy, the vanilla ice cream is classic and creamy, and the edible cookie dough is the real star of the show. No eggs and fully safe to eat by the spoonful straight from the bowl – it’s the recipe I shared back in 2020 and it’s still just as good today.

Whether you’re a Disney person or you just want a showstopper dessert that requires zero park tickets, this one is for you. It comes together easier than you’d think and it is the kind of thing that will make everyone in your house very, very happy with you.
