A fun and easy ice cream dessert recipe, this Brownie Pretzel Ice Cream Cake has layers of chocolate, brownie ice cream and pretzels. It doesn't get much better or easier than that!
Creamy, salty and sweet, this ice cream recipe only has three ingredients! It doesn't take too long to freeze either so you can make it in the morning and it is ready to go by mid-afternoon. The chocolate and pretzels compliment each other as chocolate and salt are always a good thing, like with this salted chocolate caramel candy.

Ingredients
- Triple Brownie Ice Cream - other brownie ice cream will work. I got this from Kroger
- Pretzels - crushed and broken
- Chocolate Ice Cream Topping - any brand will work
I used Hershey syrup which works great. However, ice cream topping like the kind that hardens into a shell would work great for this as well.
How to make Brownie Pretzel Ice Cream Cake
With only three ingredients, the process is so simple.
It is very important to line the loaf pan with wax paper so the ice cream cake can be lifted out easily. The pretzels will go directly on the wax paper to start the layers.
The pretzels need to be crushed and broken up. It is best to use a little of both (not just crushed pieces and not just large broken pieces). It gives a great base for the ice cream.
Layers
Simply layer the pretzels, half of the ice cream, chocolate sauce, pretzels, ice cream and pretzels. That is it! I recommend this order as you don't want the pretzels to be topped with the chocolate or it might seep through.
Freezing time
This ice cream recipe needs to be frozen for at least 4 hours. Overnight would be best, but if you are in a pinch, 4 hours works fine. Be sure to return the ice cream cake to the freezer so it won't melt.
Storage
It can be stored in the freezer, wrapped with plastic wrap or in a freezer safe container for up to 5 days.
