How to Make Cookie Dough Snickers & Reese’s Ice Cream Dream
Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups chocolate chip cookie dough
- 1 cup chopped Snickers bars
- 1 cup chopped Reese’s cups
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup chocolate sauce (for drizzling)
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce (for drizzling)
- Whipped cream (for topping)
Directions:
- In a large bowl, combine the vanilla ice cream and half of the chopped Snickers and Reese’s cups. Mix gently to distribute the candies throughout the ice cream.
- In another bowl, scoop out the cookie dough and gradually add the milk. This will make the cookie dough softer and easier to swirl into the ice cream.
- Fold the milk-infused cookie dough into the ice cream mixture until well combined. Do not overmix; you want chunks of cookie dough.
- In a serving dish or individual cups, layer the ice cream mixture with the remaining chopped Snickers and Reese’s cups. Drizzle generously with chocolate and caramel sauces between layers.
- Top with whipped cream and an extra sprinkle of chopped candies for an added crunch.
- Freeze for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your Cookie Dough Snickers & Reese’s Ice Cream Dream!
