How to Make Snickers & Reese’s Cookie Dough Ice Cream Delight
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp peanut butter (optional)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions:
Make the Ice Cream Base: In a large bowl, mix heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and vanilla. Stir until the sugar dissolves. If you want to, warm the peanut butter until smooth, then stir it into the mixture. Pour this into an ice cream maker and churn for about 20-25 minutes until thickened. Transfer it to a bowl and set aside.
Prepare the Cookie Dough: In another bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Stir in vanilla extract. Gradually add the heat-treated flour and salt, mixing until a dough forms. Fold in mini chocolate chips and roll into small pieces.
Assemble the Ice Cream: Once the ice cream is at a soft-serve consistency, gently fold in the chopped Snickers, Reese’s, cookie dough bites, and any extra chocolate chips.
Freeze the Ice Cream: Transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Smooth the top and cover it with plastic wrap. Freeze for 4-6 hours or overnight until firm.
Serve and Enjoy: Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy the creamy texture with chewy cookie dough and candy crunch!
