Snickers Ice Cream Cake

Looking for an over the top cake to make as a birthday cake or other special occasion?  Look no further.  I have the perfect cake for you.  Well…it’s an ice cream cake but if you prefer, you can make it a traditional cake with only a few modifications.  In fact, my inspiration for this ice cream cake came from a traditional Snickers cake made by fellow YouTuber Jen from Cookies, Cupcakes & Cardio.  I will embed her cake below.  

Ingredients:

     - Ice cream (Vanilla & Chocolate)

     - caramel

     - nuts

     - 2 cups heavy cream

     - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

     - 1/4 cup confectionary sugar

     - 1 cup heavy cream

     - 2 cups chocolate chips

     - Snickers bars

Directions:

1. Start with a 9 inch spring form pan and line it with plastic wrap.  Fill the bottom of the pan with vanilla ice cream about 2 inches high and press firmly.  Cover the top of the ice cream with a layer of caramel and nuts.  Place in the freezer for 1 hour.
2. Remove from the freezer and fill about 2 inches of chocolate ice cream on top of the first layer and repeat topping it with caramel and nuts.  Place in the freezer for another hour.
3. Remove from the freezer and fill with another layer of vanilla ice cream.  Place in the freezer over night.
4. In a cold bowl, add heavy cream, vanilla and confectionary sugar and whisk on high until it is firm and becomes a frosting.  Next, remove your ice cream cake from the freezer and separate the sides of the spring form pan.  Place a thin layer of the frosting completely around the cake.  Place back in freezer.
5. In a microwavable dish, add heavy cream and microwave on high for 90 seconds.  Add chocolate chips to the hot cream and let sit for 5 minutes.  Next, stir until it reaches a thick chocolate gnash.  Let cool before coating the ice cream cake. 
6. Decorate as your wish.  Cover the top of the cake with the gnash.  I colored some of my frosting a different color for contrast and topped the frosting with Snickers bars.
