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

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 4 Snickers bars (chopped)
  • 4 Reese’s peanut butter cups (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for fudge swirl, optional)
  • 2 tbsp butter (for fudge swirl, optional)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (for fudge swirl, optional)
  • 2 tbsp corn syrup (for fudge swirl, optional)

Directions:

  1. Make the Cookie Dough: In a bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Add vanilla extract and salt, then mix in the flour until smooth. Fold in mini chocolate chips. Chill the dough for 30 minutes, then break it into small, bite-sized pieces.
  2. Prepare the Ice Cream Base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Make the Fudge Swirl (optional): Melt the chocolate chips and butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in heavy cream and corn syrup, and cook until smooth and thickened. Let it cool slightly.
  4. Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the chilled ice cream mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically 20-25 minutes.
  5. Assemble the Ice Cream: Once the ice cream is churned, gently fold in the cookie dough pieces, chopped Snickers, Reese’s peanut butter cups, and drizzle in the fudge swirl (if using).
  6. Freeze: Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Scoop out your Snickers & Reese’s Cookie Dough Ice Cream and enjoy the sweet, creamy, candy-filled extravaganza! Tip: For a gooey, chewy texture, let the ice cream sit for a few minutes before scooping.

How to Serve Snickers & Reese’s Cookie Dough Ice Cream

Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones. You can add whipped cream, extra chunks of candy, or even a drizzle of chocolate syrup on top for extra sweetness. This ice cream is also great when served alongside a warm brownie or pie.

How to Store Snickers & Reese’s Cookie Dough Ice Cream

Keep the ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. It can last for up to two weeks, but we bet it won’t last that long! Just make sure to keep it well-sealed to avoid freezer burn.

Tips to Make Snickers & Reese’s Cookie Dough Ice Cream

  • Use heat-treated flour to make the cookie dough safe for eating. You can heat it in the oven for a few minutes to kill any bacteria.
  • Customize the candy mix-ins based on your favorite treats. You can try adding M&Ms or other candy bars as well.
  • For a softer texture, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving.

You can swap the Snickers and Reese’s with other chocolates or candies you prefer! Try using Kit Kats, Twix, or even some chopped-up cookies for added texture and flavor.

FAQs

Q1: Can I make this ice cream without an ice cream maker?
Yes, you can! Just pour the mixture into a container and freeze it. Stir every 30 minutes for the first few hours to help create a creamier texture.

Q2: How can I make the cookie dough safe to eat?
Use heat-treated flour, which means baking the flour at 350°F for about 5 minutes to kill any bacteria. You can also skip the flour and just make a no-bake cookie dough with oats.

Q3: Is it possible to make this recipe vegan?
Yes! You can substitute the butter with coconut oil, use dairy-free cream and milk, and replace the candies with vegan options. Just make sure to check the brands for vegan certifications.
