Prepare the Ice Cream Base
In a large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream using a hand or stand mixer until stiff peaks form. This will take about 3-4 minutes on medium-high speed. -
Add Condensed Milk and Vanilla
Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract into the whipped cream. Use a rubber spatula and be careful not to deflate the whipped cream. -
Mix in Snickers and Peanuts
Fold in 1 cup of the chopped Snickers and the optional peanuts into the mixture. Set the remaining Snickers aside for topping. -
Layer with Fudge Sauce
Pour half the ice cream mixture into a 9×5-inch loaf pan. Drizzle half of the chocolate fudge sauce over it. Use a knife to lightly swirl. Repeat with the remaining ice cream mixture and fudge sauce, swirling again. -
Top and Freeze
Sprinkle the remaining chopped Snickers on top. Cover tightly with cling wrap or a lid and freeze for at least 6–8 hours, or overnight for best texture. -
Serve
Once fully frozen, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping. Enjoy your homemade Snickers Ice Cream!

Success Tips
Whip with cooled cream so that it can be whipped quicker and fluffier.
Never overmix the whipped cream and the condensed milk because this causes one to lose the airy texture.
Top as you desire: Sprinkle crushed pretzels or top with caramel drizzle.
Store well: Cover snugly to keep out freezer burn and maintain flavor.
Cut Snickers in small slices so that they are easier to scoop.
Flavor Variations
Caramel Boost:
- Fill the layers with a 1/4 cup caramel sauce to goo it up even more.
Nutty Crunch:
- add broken roasted almonds or cashews.
Additional Chocolate:
- Swirl in Nutella or add chocolate chips so you can have double the chocolate pleasure.
