Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
2. Melt butter in a saucepan; stir in sugar and cocoa powder until combined. Cool slightly before adding eggs.
3. In another bowl, whisk together flour and salt; fold into wet ingredients until just combined.
4. Pour the batter into the pan; bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.
5. Spread ice cream over cooled brownies; freeze for at least one hour.

Ensure brownies are completely cooled before adding ice cream to prevent melting.
