    Each bite is filled with chunks of Snickers bars and swirls of caramel and chocolate sauce. You only need a few simple ingredients, and the freezer does the rest. Perfect for keeping on hand whenever you're in the mood for a Snickers ice cream frozen treat.

    No-Churn Ice Cream Rocks!

    No-churn ice cream stands out because it's creamy, rich, and ridiculously easy to make without an ice cream maker. Here's why it works so well for making Snickers ice cream:

    • 1. Sweetened Condensed Milk for Creaminess: Sweetened condensed milk keeps no-churn ice cream soft and smooth. It prevents ice crystals from forming and adds a rich, velvety texture.
    • 2. Whipped Cream for Lightness: Whipping the heavy cream incorporates air, mimicking the effect of an ice cream maker. This creates a fluffy texture without churning.
    • 3. Milk Powder for Stability: Adding milk powder absorbs excess moisture, which helps prevent iciness and keeps the ice cream smooth.
    • 4. No Special Equipment Needed: You don't need an ice cream machine-just a bowl, a mixer, and a freezer. That means anyone can make it at home without extra gear.
    • 5. Endless Flavor Possibilities: Since the base is simple, you can mix in almost anything-chocolate, caramel, fruit, cookies, or candy bars like Snickers-without affecting the texture.
    • 6. Richer Than Store-Bought Ice Cream: Since it's made with real heavy cream and not pumped with air like commercial ice cream, no-churn ice cream has a denser, creamier mouthfeel.

    It's an easy, foolproof way to make homemade ice cream that's just as good-if not better-than store-bought.

    Ingredients in my Snickers Ice Cream

    Ice Cream Base Ingredients

    • Snickers Bar (1 Bar, Diced) - Melts into the heavy cream (A) to infuse the base with caramel, chocolate, and peanut flavors.
    • Heavy Cream (A) - ½ Cup - Used to melt the Snickers, helping it blend smoothly into the ice cream mixture.
    • Heavy Cream (B) - 2½ Cups - Whipped to incorporate air, giving the ice cream a fluffy, creamy texture without needing an ice cream maker.
    • Sweetened Condensed Milk - 395g (14oz) - Provides sweetness and a smooth texture while preventing ice crystals from forming.
    • Milk Powder - 2 Tablespoons - Absorbs excess moisture to keep the ice cream from becoming icy, making it extra creamy.

    Garnish Ingredients

    • Chocolate Sauce - ½ Cup - Chocolate Sauce adds a rich chocolate swirl throughout the ice cream.
    • Caramel Sauce - ½ Cup - Caramel Sauce enhances the caramel flavor from the Snickers bars and adds extra sweetness.
    • Snickers Bar (1 Bar, Diced) - Scattered throughout the ice cream for texture, giving chunks of chocolate, nougat, and peanuts in every bite.

    Making My Snickers Ice Cream

    1: Melt the Snickers Bar into the Cream: Dice one Snickers bar into small pieces. Heat ½ cup heavy cream (A) in a saucepan over medium heat, then add the diced Snickers. Stir until mostly melted. Small chunks are fine. Transfer to a bowl and let it cool completely.

    2: Make the Ice Cream Base: In a large bowl, combine 2½ cups heavy cream (B), sweetened condensed milk, milk powder, and the cooled melted Snickers. Use a hand or stand mixer to whip until thickened and increased in volume by one-third. This step creates a light, creamy texture.

    3: Layer the Ice Cream and Add Garnishes: Dice the second Snickers bar. Pour half of the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container. Drizzle with half of the chocolate and caramel sauces, then sprinkle with half of the diced Snickers. Repeat with the remaining ice cream, sauces, and Snickers pieces.

    4: Freeze Until Set: Cover the container with a lid and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.

    5: Serve and Enjoy: Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy.

    My Top Tips:

    • Cool the melted Snickers mixture completely before adding it to the ice cream base.
    • Whip the cream until thick but not over-whipped to keep the texture smooth.
    • Milk powder helps prevent ice crystals and keeps the ice cream creamy.
    • Layer mix-ins evenly so every scoop has Snickers chunks and swirls of sauce.
    • Cover with a lid to prevent ice crystals and keep the ice cream fresh.
    • Let it sit for 10 minutes before scooping for a softer, creamier texture.

    Recipe Variations

    • Peanut Butter Snickers Ice Cream - Add ¼ cup (60g) peanut butter to the melted Snickers mixture for extra creaminess and a stronger peanut flavor.
    • Double Chocolate Snickers Ice Cream - Mix 2 tablespoons (15g) cocoa powder into the ice cream base for a richer chocolate flavor. First bloom it by dissolving it into 2 tablespoons hot water. This will enhance the chocolate flavor.
    • Nutty Snickers Ice Cream - Stir in ¼ cup (40g) chopped roasted peanuts before freezing for added crunch.
    • Salted Caramel Snickers Ice Cream - Use salted caramel sauce and sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt between layers.
    • Coffee Snickers Ice Cream - Dissolve 1 teaspoon instant coffee in the melted Snickers mixture for a subtle coffee flavor.
    • Oreo Snickers Ice Cream - Fold in ½ cup (60g) crushed Oreo cookies for extra texture and flavor.
    • Banana Snickers Ice Cream - Mash 1 ripe banana and mix it into the ice cream base for a banana caramel twist.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I make this without milk powder?

    Yes, but the texture may not be as creamy. Milk powder helps prevent ice crystals from forming, making the ice cream smoother.

    How long does no-churn ice cream last?

    It's best within 1-2 weeks. Keep it covered to prevent freezer burn.

    Can I use low-fat cream or milk?

    No, full-fat heavy cream is necessary for the right texture. Lower-fat options won't whip properly. The ice cream will not be as creamy.

    Why does my ice cream feel too hard to scoop?

    No-churn ice cream can freeze firm. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before scooping.

    Can I use different candy bars?

    Yes! Try Twix, Mars, Reese's, or Kit Kat for different flavors.

    Can I use an ice cream maker?

    You don't need one, but you can churn the mixture if preferred.

      The Snickers ice cream cake is so smooth and delicious melting. Melting the Snickers bar with the cream really enhances the snicker bar flavor. I made a chocolate pretzel salted peanut crust, which was amazing with the ice cream cake. I swirled in Fay’s salted caramel recipe with the hot fudge added salted peanuts, my chocolate crunch and more Snickers bar. This is truly a Snickers bar ice cream cake dream. Highly recommended
