Grease two 8×8-inch pans with butter or baking spray and line with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides
In a medium bowl, mix melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand mixer on medium speed
Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition to ensure a crackled top

In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, and salt
Add flour mixture to wet ingredients in three parts, mixing on low speed until just combined
Divide batter equally between pans and spread gently with a spatula
Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs
Cool brownies completely in pans on a wire rack, then lift using parchment paper and cut into 8 squares each
Scoop 2 tablespoons of ice cream into a small bowl for each brownie square, freeze for 30 minutes, then place onto a brownie square, top with a second brownie, and gently press to secure
Return to freezer for 30 minutes before serving to firms the ice cream
