Hello friends. Are you enjoying the start of your summer? My family and I sure are. In fact, we just opened our pool and the kids jumped in after school. Notice I didn’t include myself in that. The water is still a bit too cold for me.
But do you know what’s not too cold for me right now? Ice Cream!! As soon as the hot weather hits, I am craving ice cream.
So I decided to make an ice cream dessert. For this frozen ice cream dessert, I used my favorite Ghirardeli brownie mix for the base.
Then I made this dessert extra special by making a Kahlua frosting to top it all off. Seriously, this is the best mudslide dessert that I have tasted.
It is the best combination of chocolate, vanilla and coffee flavors.
Even though I used vanilla ice cream, if you wanted a stronger coffee flavor, you could use coffee ice cream and I’m sure it would taste amazing.
I made this Kahlua Dessert in my favorite 9×13 Pyrex glass baking dish
Which is great because with the cold pack and the insulated carrier, I can even travel with this frozen dessert without it melting all over the place.
Stay cool this summer with this delicious Kahlua Frozen Mudslide Dessert. Enjoy. 🙂

Ingredients
- 1 box of Ghirardelli double chocolate brownie mix
- 1/3 c. water
- 1/3 c. vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 gallon of vanilla or coffee ice cream
- 5 Tablespoons of Kahlua coffee liquor, divided
- 2/3 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
- 5 TBLS boiling water
- 1 stick of butter, softened
- 3 c. powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325*
- Prepare a large 9x13 glass baking dish by spraying it with cooking spray
- Stir together the brownie mix, water, oil and egg in a large bowl and pour in the pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until the brownies no longer jiggle and an inserted toothpick comes out fairly clean.
- Allow to cool for 15 minutes and then poke holes in the top of the brownies and brush 2 TBLS of Kahlua over the top. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to continue cooling.
- In the meantime make the frosting by placing the cocoa in a large mixing bowl and pour the boiling water over it. Stir with a spoon until well combined.
- Add the butter and blend it until well mixed. Add the 3 remaining TBLS of Kahlua and mix until combined.
- Add the powdered sugar and mix until smooth and creamy. Taste it. If you want more Kahlua flavor, add another TBLS. Add a little more powdered sugar if necessary until desired consistency is reached.
- Remove the brownies from the refrigerator and scoop the ice cream over the top and smooth it into a flat layer. Place covered in the freezer for ten minutes.
- Remove and spread the frosting over the top. Cover and place in the freezer for at least an hour before serving. Store any remaining dessert covered in the freezer.
