Snickers Peanut Butter Brownie Ice Cream Cake
Just looking at these pictures makes my mouth water. Imagine what it’s like in person! As I was making it, the hubs said he wanted to put his face in it. As fun as that would have been to see, ‘face’ isn’t really an ingredient in this particular cake. 🙂
This cake was actually made to celebrate the birthdays of a couple people in our small group. We had a little par-tay at the house and I actually made this, as well as my chocolate chip cookie cake, which was requested.
That cookie cake is easily the most viewed recipe on my blog and gets rave reviews whenever I make it, but dare I say this ice cream cake stole the attention completely away from that cookie.
The peanut butter ice cream is really the star in this ice cream cake show. Despite my clearly stellar dessert making abilities everyone seemed surprised to know that I’d made it from scratch.
Either they just don’t know me well enough yet, or the ice cream is THAT good.
I prefer to go with it’s just THAT good. 🙂
This baby is rich. Perfectly rich. It rocks 4 layers of awesome:
1. Brownie
2. Caramel and chocolate sauce
3. Chopped snickers
4. Peanut butter ice cream
A snicker lovers dream.
It’s also nice and easy to make. There’s no ice cream machine needed and I used a boxed brownie mix and store-bought caramel and chocolate sauce to make it even easier. Once you have the brownies made, it’s just a matter of layering and freezing. Piece of cake. 😉

Could you do this will vanilla icecream instead? If so, how would the recipe change? Thank you!!! 🙂
Hi Stacy! Yes you can – just leave out the peanut butter and add 1-2 tsp of vanilla extract.
Hi Your cake looks amazing!! I want to try to make it soon, I can’t wait!! How high above the pan is the cake while it is freezing? After it is done freezing, do you have to dowel it or does it stay on its own? Pinning it!!!
Hi Shamene! Thank you! It’s probably an inch or so above the top of the pan (I just use parchment paper that goes up that high). No need to dowel it – once it’s frozen it doesn’t budge. 🙂 Thanks for sharing it!
O.M.G. This looks amazing. I have little to no baking skills, but I might even be able to manage this. I have to try it. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Anika! You definitely should – it’s so worth it! 🙂
I am making this cake tomorrow for my husbands birthday and I am super excited about doing it. But I have come to a stand still on assembling the cake I have two 8 inch springform pans and they are about 3 1/2 – 4 inches tall, do you layer it in one pan. How do you keep it to hold shape?
Hi Tasha – yes, I layer it in an 8×3 inch pan usually. I put parchment paper around the edges that sticks up above the sides and it holds it all fine. The ice cream mixture is pretty thick. Here’s a link to show you.
Do you serve frozen?
Hi Stephanie! Yes, serve frozen.
I’m not sure I have any words to describe my reaction to this cake other than to say I need some right now! 🙂 I’m adding this to my to do list right now. Awesome post and great photos!
Thanks Bill! I’d love to know what you think after you make it. 🙂
I am planning to make this cake, and I have one question:
can I buy ice cream and place it on cold brownies instead of making an ice-cream with whipped cream?
Thank you!
Hi Daisy! Yes, store bought ice cream should work fine.
Thank you!
I will send pictures 😉
Everyone loves this,better than DQ ice cream cake.I use a little extra chocolate and Carmel sauce .I also frost sides with chocolate peanut butter ganash.It gives it that finished look.Awsome is all I can think of .Thank-You
Thanks Laura! I’m so glad it’s a hit! The ganache addition sounds delicious!
Can I use 9 in cake pans and springform pan?
You can, but you may want to make a little more of the ice cream, depending on how tall of a cake you want.
Sounds delicious! I’m going to make it using my crust-less cheese cakes in place of the ice cream!!!
Thank you, Patsy! Sounds yummy!
AWESOME cake !
This is definitely a cake I must make
I made a Snickers Cake (which the most viewed post on my blog) but it’s different from yours.
Thanks Winnie, you should definitely try it!
OMG this looks incredibly delicious! Both my kids have birthdays coming up and I’d love to make this only I don’t know that they’re fans of Snickers – but I am! Great recipe and interesting way of making ice cream, I’ve never seen a recipe like that before. Can’t wait to try it.

Thanks Vicki! You could always make it without the snickers – it’d still be delicious! Also, I recently posted a mint brownie version if you all are mint fans.
Oh my goodness, pure bliss. I found your recipe from Pinterest and made it today. Posted the end result to Facebook and boy did it cause a stir. Everyone loved it, It looks so yummy and tasted just wonderful. Between my family and a few friends, it has almost gone already and we didn’t even get it completely set in the freezer. Was too tempting to wait. Thanks for a new awesome dessert to add to my favourites. Looking forward to trying a few others.
