Start by making the brownie base.

Bring out the eggs (which must be at room temperature) and a round baking pan, approx. 10-11 inches (26-28 cm).

Put the chocolate and butter into a bowl. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir regularly until the mixture is melted.

Put the eggs and sugar into a separate bowl and whisk lightly by hand.

Pour the egg/sugar mixture into the melted chocolate mixture and stir until well blended.

Do not stir more than necessary.

Sift in the flour, cocoa powder and salt, then gently fold into the mixture.

Add the chopped chocolate, if using.

Pour the mixture into the pan and bake in a 347˚F (175˚C) oven for 30 minutes, no longer.

Leave to cool completely.

Make the ice cream while the brownie base cools.

Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a mixing bowl.

Add the cream.

Whisk until the mixture is nice and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes.

Tip in the crushed Oreos.

Stir until well blended.

Pour the ice cream mixture over the brownie base and place the pan in the freezer for at least 5 hours.

Make a delicious salted caramel sauce to drizzle over the top just before serving.
