How to Make Snickers & Reese’s Cookie Dough Ice Cream Delight

Ingredients:

  • 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

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Serve and Enjoy: Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy the creamy texture with chewy cookie dough and candy crunch!
