Description

This Twix Ice Cream Cake is an easy and indulgent no-bake dessert featuring a crunchy shortbread cookie crust, creamy vanilla ice cream mixed with chopped Twix caramel minis, and topped with chocolate and caramel sauces. Perfect for a crowd, this cake combines layers of sweet textures and flavors that promise a delightful treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Crust

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

Ice Cream Layer

  • 5 cups vanilla ice cream, softened
  • 9.7 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 to prevent sticking. Set aside while you prepare the crust.
  2. Make the Crust: Place the shortbread cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely ground into crumbs. Add the melted butter to the crumbs and pulse again until the mixture is uniformly combined and crumbly.
  3. Form the Crust: Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create a firm, compact crust. Place the dish in the freezer for 20 minutes to set the crust firmly.
  4. Prepare Ice Cream Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened vanilla ice cream with two-thirds of the chopped TWIX Caramel Minis. Stir well to distribute the candy pieces evenly throughout the ice cream.
  5. Assemble Ice Cream Layer: Spread the ice cream and TWIX mixture evenly over the frozen crust layer in the baking dish. Smooth the surface with a spatula for an even top.
  6. Freeze the Cake: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or foil to protect it from freezer odors and ice crystals. Freeze the ice cream cake for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to ensure it is fully set.
  7. Add Toppings and Serve: When ready to serve, remove the cake from the freezer. Drizzle the chocolate and caramel sauces evenly over the top of the cake. Sprinkle the remaining chopped TWIX pieces over the sauces for added texture and decoration.
  8. Slice and Enjoy: Use a sharp knife to slice the ice cream cake into squares. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor experience.

Notes

  • Allow the vanilla ice cream to soften at room temperature before mixing to make it easier to spread.
  • For sharper slices, dip your knife in hot water and wipe it dry before cutting each piece.
  • You can substitute shortbread cookies with graham crackers or digestive biscuits for a different crust flavor.
  • Store leftovers in the freezer covered tightly to maintain freshness.
  • If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the caramel sauce drizzle or omit it entirely.
