Did you know that July is national ice cream month, and that tomorrow, July 19th is national ice cream day?
If you didn’t consider yourself informed. Not that we need an excuse to eat ice cream, it is summer after all, and summer wouldn’t be summer without ice cream.
I love a good mint chip waffle cone every now and then, but my favorite way to eat ice cream is on top of a brownie, loaded with fudge, caramel, and whipped cream.
Stella, my sweets lover, has been begging me to make her an ice cream cake all summer, and that’s when the wheels began turning. I’m not much of a cake lover, but an ice cream cake with a brownie base would be like one giant brownie sundae.
We started with a large pan of brownies – go homemade if you wish, but for me I was looking for easy, and the box won.
once baked and cooled, ย I added a layer of fudge topping. again, you can go homemade, but I used a jar.
chill fudge layer 30 minutes, and then add the snickers ice cream bars
cover the ice cream bars in caramel; yes I used a jar,
and then cool whip. I know what you are thinking, and if you choose, use fresh whipped cream.
freeze and top with chopped mini snickers before serving
If you have a non-peanut eater like I do, Milky Way Bars with chocolate ice cream or Twix Ice Cream Bars with vanilla are the way to go. I happen to love the peanuts and peanut butter ice cream in the snickers ice cream bars.
