Turn a classic chocolate bar into a frozen treat with this easy Twix Ice Cream Sandwich — creamy ice cream, biscuit crunch, gooey caramel and a smooth chocolate shell.
Twix Ice Cream Sandwich – Because some treats just need to be frozen!
Twix has always been one of my favourite chocolate bars.
I’ll happily confess: I eat mine in a very specific order.
👉🏽 First, I nibble off the chocolate.
👉🏽 Then, I peel away the caramel and enjoy that (yes, really).
👉🏽 And finally — the biscuit base gets devoured all on its own.
It’s the perfect balance of:
- crispy biscuit
- gooey caramel
- smooth chocolate
But the one thing it doesn’t have?
❄️ Cold.
So of course… I had to give this one a whirl.
And the result? A Cool Twix Ice Cream Sandwich that keeps the biscuit crisp, the caramel gooey, and wraps everything in a chocolate shell.
It’s ridiculously good.

What is a Twix, anyway?
For those outside the UK, or anyone who may not have grown up with it:
Twix is a chocolate bar made of three layers:
✅ a crisp biscuit base
✅ gooey caramel on top
✅ coated in smooth milk chocolate
Twix bars are sold in pairs — the classic “Left Twix / Right Twix” debate was purely a playful marketing stunt, but it’s become part of Twix culture.
Other flavour variations exist too:
- Twix Peanut Butter
- Twix White Chocolate
- Twix Salted Caramel
- Twix Ice Cream (pre-made — but nothing like ours!)
Our DIY version captures the biscuit–caramel–chocolate combo but adds:
✨ Ice cream
✨ Crunch
✨ A proper chocolate shell
It’s Twix… with a frosty twist!
The Ultimate Combination of Caramel + Chocolate + Biscuit + Ice Cream
Before we get to the full recipe, let’s take a moment to appreciate why this cold Twix twist works so ridiculously well.
A Twix already has a perfect trio:
- crisp biscuit for crunch
- gooey caramel for chew
- smooth milk chocolate for sweetness
But when you add ice cream?
You suddenly get:
- cool creaminess to balance the sweetness
- a refreshing contrast to the buttery biscuit
- a frozen chew that keeps the caramel soft but not sticky
- a chocolate shell that adds that satisfying crack
It’s all about texture harmony:
crunch + chew + cream + crack.
One bite — and everything fires at once.
This is why the Twix Ice Cream Sandwich works. And honestly… why it disappears fast.

Twix Ice Cream Sandwich Recipe
Prep Time: 15 minutes | Freeze Time: 3–4 hours | Total Time: 4 hours | Servings: Makes 6–8 sandwiches
Ingredients:
For the ice cream layer (no churn):
- 300ml double cream
- ½ can (200g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4–5 Twix bars, roughly chopped
Chocolate shell:
- 200g milk chocolate
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional – helps chocolate set smoother)
Biscuit layer:
- 12 digestive biscuits or shortbread squares
(You can also split Twix bars lengthways and use as the biscuit layer if you want the FULL Twix experience)
Method:
- Make the ice cream base: Whip the double cream to soft peaks. Fold in the condensed milk + vanilla.
- Add chopped Twix pieces: Stir gently through the ice cream mixture.
- Freeze the ice cream slab: Line a square tin with baking paper. Pour in the mixture and freeze for 3–4 hours until firm.
- Cut into sandwich shapes: Lift out the frozen slab and cut into rectangles roughly the size of your biscuits.
- Sandwich time: Place a slab of Twix ice cream between two digestives/shortbread biscuits. Freeze 20 minutes to firm up.
- Dip in melted chocolate: Melt chocolate + coconut oil. Dip the sandwich halfway (or fully — zero judgement here).
- Freeze again (optional): Freeze 10–15 minutes to set the chocolate shell.
- Serve + enjoy: Prepare to make more immediately — they disappear fast.

🍫 Twix Variations — Choose Your Flavour Adventure
Twix isn’t just one flavour anymore, you’ve got Salted caramel Twix, Peanut Butter Twix and White Chocolate Twix too, among ither limited edition flavours — and that means endless frozen fun.
Here are a few ways to take your Twix Ice Cream Sandwiches from classic to completely custom.
| Twix Flavour | Biscuit & Caramel Twist | Chocolate Shell Idea | Vibe |
|---|---|---|---|
| Original Twix | Classic biscuit crumbs and caramel folded through the ice cream | Milk chocolate dip with a drizzle of extra caramel on top | The true classic – balanced, nostalgic and crowd-pleasing |
| White Chocolate Twix | Use lighter, buttery biscuits and a touch of vanilla in the caramel | Smooth white chocolate shell with a sprinkle of biscuit crumbs | Sweet, creamy and a little bit extra – perfect for white-choc fans |
| Peanut Butter Twix | Swirl peanut butter into the caramel layer and add crushed salted peanuts | Milk chocolate shell with a sprinkle of chopped peanuts on top | Sweet-salty, nutty and ultra moreish |
| Salted Caramel Twix | Stir flaky sea salt into the caramel and use extra biscuit chunks for crunch | Dark or extra-rich milk chocolate shell with a pinch of sea salt flakes | Grown-up Twix energy – deeper caramel flavour with a salty snap |
🌱 Dairy-Free / Vegan Twist
You can easily make a Vegan Twix Ice Cream Sandwich with just a few simple swaps:
- Double cream → coconut cream (chilled overnight, use solid part)
- Condensed milk → vegan condensed coconut milk
- Biscuits → vegan shortbread or speculoos biscuits
- Milk chocolate → vegan chocolate + 1 tbsp coconut oil
Twix isn’t vegan, but you can recreate the structure with:
- Vegan caramel (date caramel works beautifully)
- Crumbled biscuits inside + chocolate coating
Taste-wise? Unbelievably good!
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes — these are brilliant make-ahead treats. Once assembled and dipped, store your Twix Ice Cream Sandwiches in an airtight container (or individually wrap them for easy grabbing). They freeze beautifully for up to 1 month.
Tip: Let them sit at room temperature for 3–5 minutes before serving for that perfect soft-but-holdable bite.
Q: Can I use shop-bought ice cream?
Absolutely — a tub of vanilla, caramel, toffee, or even chocolate ice cream works well.
Just soften it slightly on the counter, fold in chopped Twix pieces for extra texture, spread it into your lined tin, and freeze again until firm. It’s the quickest shortcut if you want Twix sandwiches today without waiting.
Q: Why add coconut oil to the chocolate?
Coconut oil helps the chocolate melt smoothly and sets into that perfect crisp “crack” when it hits something cold — just like a classic choc ice. It also stops the chocolate from becoming too thick, so your sandwiches are coated with a neat shell instead of a heavy slab.
Q: My biscuit went soggy — what happened?
This usually happens if the ice cream slab wasn’t fully frozen when sliced. A slightly soft centre releases moisture and softens the biscuit.
To avoid this:
✔ Freeze the ice cream completely solid before cutting.
✔ Work quickly when assembling.
✔ Pop the sandwiches back in the freezer for 20 minutes before dipping.
You’ll keep that lovely crisp bite every time.
