Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350˚F, and line a 9 x 13 baking pan with parchment paper or foil larger than the baking dish, so the foil extends at least an inch over edges of the pan.
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Pour in water, vegetable oil and vanilla; mix until well blended. Spread evenly in the prepared baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven, until the top is no longer shiny, about 25-30 minutes. Cool completely and place in freezer to chill.
Soften ice cream until you can easily stir it with a spoon. Gently spread in an even layer over cooled brownies. Top with cool whipped topping and spread out into an even layer. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top and cover with wax paper. Freeze until firm, about 4-5 hours.
When ready to serve, let sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften. Remove from pan using the overhanging parchment paper, and then cut into squares.

Notes
Storage: Store any leftovers in a freezer safe container covered properly. They will last about 2 weeks. It will be easy to slice immediately from the freezer, but you may want to allow a few minutes before eating for the ice cream and brownies to thaw slightly.Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.
Instead of vegetable oil, you can use coconut oil or butter if you don't care for the recipe to stay vegan.
You can skip the whipped coconut cream or use a frosting of choice if you prefer.
Feel free to use different ice cream flavors of your choice.
