SNICKERS, PEANUT BUTTER, BROWNIE ICE CREAM CAKE
SNICKERS, PEANUT BUTTER, BROWNIE ICE CREAM CAKE
This baby is rich. Perfectly rich. It rocks 4 layers of awesomeness. Brownie, caramel and chocolate sauce, chopped Snickers and peanut butter ice cream.
A snicker lovers dream.
1 box brownie mix, plus ingredients required on box
¼ cup milk
8 oz (228 g) cream cheese, softened
½ cup sugar
1 ½ cups peanut butter
8 oz (228 g) Cool Whip, thawed (or 1 recipe of homemade whipped cream)
1 20 oz (567 g) bottle chocolate sundae syrup
1 20 oz (567 g) bottle caramel sundae syrup
1 11.5 oz (326 g) bag mini Snicker chocolates, chopped, divided into three groups
Note:
An 8 inch (20 cm) springform pan is best for this recipe so that you can easily remove the cake once it’s been assembled. If you do not have a springform pan, line your pan with clear wrap before adding your parchment paper and cake board. You can use the clear warp to lift your cake out of the pan once it’s assembled and frozen.
Brownies:
Make brownie dough according to instructions on the box.
Grease two 8-inch (20cm) pans (preferable springform pans) and line the bottoms with parchment paper to allow for easy removal. Bake at temperature mentioned on the box, reducing baking time to about 20 minutes (you can also bake 1 big brownie, which would bake for the normal time and cut it in half, but cutting a brownie in half isn’t super easy).
When brownies are baked, allow to cool completely.
Ice cream:
Combine the milk, cream cheese, sugar and peanut butter in the bowl of a stand mixer or a hand mixer. Mix until the ingredients are completely combined.
Fold in the Cool Whip.
Assembling:
Line the sides of an 8-inch (20 cm) springform pan with parchment paper. The parchment paper should come up above the top edge of the pan, since the cake will probably be a little taller than your pan. If you like, place a cardboard cake circle on the bottom of the pan.
Note:
Use the same 8-inch (20 cm) pan you used for the brownies. Not all 8-inch pans are exactly the same size.
The brownie must fit the pan exactly.
Place the first brownie layer on the bottom of the pan.
Spread ½ a cup of the caramel sauce and ½ a cup of the chocolate sauce over the brownie.
Top with the first group of chopped snickers.
Top with ½ of the peanut butter ice cream.
Add the second brownie on top of the ice cream.
Cover with ½ a cup of caramel sauce and ½ a cup of the chocolate sauce.
Top with the second group of chopped snickers.
Top with remaining peanut butter ice cream.
Place the cake in the freezer and allow to freeze completely.
When frozen, remove the cake from the springform pan and remove the parchment paper from the sides of the cake.
Top with the last bit of caramel- and chocolate sauce, allowing it to drizzle down the sides.
Note from Barbara:
Seeing that it is a very rich cake, assemble it in a single layer, in a larger pan, this will also help to set quicker.
