Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 quarts Coffee ice cream
- 6 bars Heath bars (crushed)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
Prepare the crust: In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, spreading evenly to create a solid base. Freeze for 20 minutes to set.
Soften the coffee ice cream slightly by letting it sit at room temperature for 5–7 minutes. Spread half of the ice cream evenly over the chilled crust.
Sprinkle half of the crushed Heath bars over the ice cream layer. Press down lightly to set.
Add the remaining coffee ice cream on top of the Heath bars, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
Sprinkle the remaining crushed Heath bars over the top layer of ice cream. Freeze the cake for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.
Make the caramel sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream and brown sugar. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves (approximately 3–4 minutes).
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in vanilla extract and sea salt. Let the caramel cool to room temperature.
Once the ice cream cake is fully frozen, remove it from the springform pan using a warm knife to loosen the edges.
Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of the cake just before serving. Slice and enjoy!
