This gorgeous Snickers Chocolate Brownie Ice Cream Cake is perfect for your next celebration. A thick chocolate brownie topped with chewy Snickers bars and creamy chocolate ice cream.
I’m currently obsessed with ice cream cakes.
I think it was this one that turned me into a true ice cream cake fan. So this Snickers Chocolate Brownie Ice Cream Cake has me swooning.
With a thick chocolate peanut brownie bottom, topped with creamy chocolate ice cream loaded with Snickers, it’s a real chocolately treat. The final touch? Swirls of chocolate whipped cream. If you’re looking for an easy cake for chocolate lovers, this one’s for you!
There is something about the magical combination of brownies and ice cream. One smooth and creamy, the other sticky and chewy. It’s what makes this ice cream cake so magical. That and a boatload of Snickers bars.
Once you bake your beautiful chocolate peanut brownie, all you have to do is chop up some Snickers bars and mix them through some chocolate ice cream. Give it a few hours and then you have a gorgeous cake ready to serve.
Right before presenting your cake, add a few swirls of chocolate whipped cream and a few more Snickers. And boom! You are done.
So tell me, how has your week been? I’m so excited because it’s less than two weeks til I’m heading to the USA! It’s been nearly three years since I was there last and I can’t wait to go back.
In my bio, I mentioned that my next trip to the USA would include a visit to Chicago (to go to the Bang Bang Pie Shop of course) and to tour more of the south. And that’s exactly what we’ll be doing! It’s like a dream come true.
I’ve already got my food list all ready, filled with amazing barbecue and burgers, doughnuts and ice cream. But I’d love it if you have any food recommendations for me! Of course, when I get back, I’ll share my favourite foodie places like I did here and here.

Jess, If you are traveling to Chicago, try to drive up to Wisconsin! You must try the custard at Kopp’s! And they have the best burgers (ranked #1 in the state.) We also have a ton of cheese curds and specialty beers. But nothing beats pure, freshly-made custard.

Hi Amanda, oh boy that sounds amazing! I’m not sure will have enough time for a cheeky road trip this time but I am SO putting that on the list for next time. Cheese curd and custard? I AM SO THERE! xx
