Ingredients
Before we dive into the how-to, let’s gather our ingredients. Thankfully, you won’t need any obscure items for this one. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup cookie dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup Snickers bars, chopped
- 1 cup Reese’s peanut butter cups, chopped
- Optional: chocolate syrup for drizzling
Steps to Make Cookie Dough Snickers & Reese’s Ice Cream
- Mix the Base: In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, milk, and vanilla extract. This creamy mixture will be the base of our luscious ice cream.
- Fold in the Goodies: Now comes the fun part! Gently fold in the cookie dough, chopped Snickers, and Reese’s cups. Use a spatula to combine everything without breaking them into tiny pieces. We want to maintain those delightful chunks!
- Chill Time: Pour the ice cream mixture into an airtight container. It’s time for your creation to rest in the freezer. Let it chill for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight if you can wait that long (but who can, really?).
- Serve and Enjoy: When that magical freezing time is up, scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones. For an extra touch, drizzle chocolate syrup over the top. Admire your creation (because you deserve it) and dig in!
Cooking Tips for Perfect Ice Cream
