Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two 9x13-inch baking pans with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
In a medium heatproof bowl, melt the unsalted butter and dark chocolate together over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well-combined and slightly frothy.
Gradually pour the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to combine.
Sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared baking pans and spread it out into a smooth, even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Let the brownie layers cool completely in the pans on a wire rack.
Once cooled, carefully remove the brownie layers from the pans using the parchment overhang. Place one brownie layer on a cutting board or flat surface, top-side down.
Spread the softened ice cream in an even layer over the brownie base (about 1 inch thick), ensuring full coverage to the edges. Place the second brownie layer on top, top-side up, and press gently to adhere.
Wrap the entire brownie sandwich tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper, then place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Once the ice cream sandwich block is fully frozen, remove it from the freezer and use a sharp knife to cut it into 12 even squares or rectangles. If the knife sticks, run it under warm water and dry it between cuts.
Serve immediately or wrap individual sandwiches in parchment paper for storage in the freezer. Enjoy your Super Fudge Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches!
