Description

This Twix Ice Cream Cake is a delightful no-bake dessert featuring a crunchy shortbread cookie crust, creamy vanilla ice cream blended with chopped Twix Caramel Minis, and topped with luscious chocolate and caramel sauces. Perfect for a crowd-pleasing treat that combines the classic flavors of Twix candy bars with an irresistible frozen twist.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 5.5 ounces shortbread cookies (Pepperidge Farm Dublin or your favorite brand)
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Ice Cream Layer

  • 5 cups vanilla ice cream, softened
  • 6.5 ounces TWIX Caramel Minis Candy Bars, chopped and divided

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup chocolate sauce
  • 1/3 cup caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with non-stick spray and set aside to prevent sticking during freezing.
  2. Make the Crust: Place shortbread cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Add the melted butter to the crumbs and pulse again until the mixture is fully combined.
  3. Set the Crust: Press the buttered cookie crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Freeze for 20 minutes to let the crust set firmly.
  4. Prepare Ice Cream Layer: In a mixing bowl, fold the softened vanilla ice cream with two thirds of the chopped Twix pieces until evenly combined.
  5. Assemble Ice Cream Cake: Spread the ice cream mixture evenly over the chilled crust in the baking dish.
  6. Freeze Until Firm: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the ice cream layer to fully harden.
  7. Add Toppings and Serve: Just before serving, drizzle chocolate and caramel sauces evenly over the top of the frozen ice cream cake. Sprinkle the remaining chopped Twix pieces on top for added crunch and flavor.
  8. Slice and Enjoy: Use a sharp knife to cut the ice cream cake into squares and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For easier ice cream spreading, slightly soften the ice cream at room temperature for about 10 minutes before mixing.
  • You can substitute shortbread cookies with graham crackers or digestive biscuits for a different crust flavor.
  • Use airtight wrapping to prevent freezer burn if storing the ice cream cake for more than a day.
  • Allow the cake to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
  • Chocolate and caramel sauces can be homemade or store-bought according to preference.
