As you read this I’m probably en route to Austin, Texas for a blogging conference called BlogHerFood. It’s going to pretty rad because:

1. I get to meet up with a lot of my blogging friends.

2. I get to eat a whole lot of TEXMEX. Totally legit.

3. I get a mini break from one of the munchkins and odds are everyone in Austin me will want to take the other munchkin off my hands. Be my guest, ya’ll!

4. I get to pimp my hair out and tease it high to the sky–>because when in Rome….except Texas.

This year, PretzelCrisps wanted to send me to Austin on their behalf, so I thought I’d do a recipe or two using their pretzel cracker thingy-ma-jiggers. I actually buy these on a regular basis and snack on them frequently, so it wasn’t too big of a stretch to add them into some yummy recipes.

Today, I’m sharing with you a recipe for a ridiculously simple ice cream cake. Because summer is practically upon us. Also, WHY the heck NOT? Also, I’m a little ob.sess.ed with salted caramel. I have a problem. This I know.

Anyways, crack out your ice cream and pretzels and get layering 🙂 Here’s how you make my Salted Caramel Pretzel Ice Cream Cake:

Start by lining a 9×9 glass baking dish with plastic wrap.

Next step: grab some of these babies!

Break them apart ever so slightly and make an even layer across the bottom of your dish.

Now, take 1 1/2 quarts of vanilla ice cream and soften it up in a stand mixer. If you don’t have a stand mixer, leave your ice cream out on the counter 10 minutes, then stir it up by hand in a large bowl.

Spread half of the ice cream overtop the broken pretzel pieces.

Now you can spoon 1/4 cup caramel over the ice cream and sprinkle on the sea salt. Mmmm…..

Top with another layer of broken pretzels,

and the last of the ice cream. Fold over the edges of plastic wrap gently and freeze 2 hours to overnight.

When you’re ready to serve, pop the entire frozen cake out of the baking dish, remove the plastic, top with whipped cream and more pretzels.

Aaaand, because I like things to look pretty, drizzle with more caramel.

Hello, luvah…..

This is salty sweet crunchy heaven. A great combo of everything good and holy.
