Snickers Ice Cream Cake

This ice cream cake recipe is surprisingly easy to make, and it tastes just like a Snickers bar! Yum!

When it’s my birthday (or really any occasion that calls for celebrating), I would choose ice cream cake over regular cake ANY DAY OF THE YEAR. I crave it…it’s a problem. There’s just something about the cool refreshing taste, the hot fudge center, and that little bit of crunch. Sure, regular cake is great and if you ever want to make me one, I won’t say no, but if you really want to know the way to my heart, ice cream cake is the way to go.

However, I am also way too lazy to craft a full homemade ice cream cake on my own. It’s requires a lot of shaping and sculpting, waiting and freezing the layers, whatever else needs to happen to create the perfect one. I don’t really want to do all that. At our house, my solution is this Lazy Girl’s Snickers Ice Cream Cake!

This easy ice cream cake recipe is thrown together in just minutes, not too big and not too small, and has ALL THE FLAVOR of a tasty Snickers bar! You’re gonna love the taste, and you’re gonna love how simple it is even more.

Well, maybe this cake topped with hot fudge is better, but it’s all one the same level of delicious.

How to Make Ice Cream Cake (the EASY way!)

Inside this easy ice cream cake recipe, you’ll find layers of vanilla bean ice cream, chocolate ice cream, pound cake, caramel, and of course peanuts. It’s all topped with hot fudge and served with a smile. You’re gonna be famous for this one. Everyone will be amazed that you made this, and only YOU will know that you hacked it together in the simplest way possible (yay for cooking hacks!).

How to Make Snickers Ice Cream Cake:

1. Cut the pound cake into three long layers. You only need two layers, so save that third layer for another time.
2. Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap.
3. Place one slice of pound cake into the bottom of the pan, then spread a layer of chocolate ice cream on top (it helps to let the ice cream soften before you begin).
4. Pour the caramel syrup over the ice cream, then top with half of the peanuts.
5. Now place the second slice of cake, and spread a layer of vanilla ice cream on top.
6. Top it off with hot fudge and the rest of the peanuts.
7. Then place the cake in the freezer to set for at least 8 hours.

When it’s time to eat, slice up that ice cream cake and enjoy!
