📋 Ingredients
For the Ice Cream Base:
🥛 2 cups heavy cream
🥛 1 cup whole milk
🍚 ¾ cup granulated sugar
✨ 1 tsp vanilla extract
🥜 2 tbsp peanut butter (optional, for extra peanut butter flavor)
For the Cookie Dough:
🧈 ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
🍯 ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
🍚 ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
✨ 1 tsp vanilla extract
🌾 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
🧂 ½ tsp salt
🍫 ½ cup mini chocolate chips
For the Mix-ins:
🍫 2 Snickers bars, chopped into small pieces
🥜 2 Reese’s peanut butter cups, chopped into small pieces
🍫 ¼ cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for extra texture)
📝 Directions
1️⃣ Make the Ice Cream Base:
🥄 In a large bowl, whisk together heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until sugar is dissolved.
🔥 If using peanut butter, warm it until smooth, then stir it in.
🍦 Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn until it reaches soft-serve consistency (about 20-25 minutes).
🛑 Set aside in a large bowl.
2️⃣ Prepare the Cookie Dough:
🧈 In a mixing bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.
✨ Stir in vanilla extract.
🌾 Mix in heat-treated flour (baked at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes, then cooled) and salt until a dough forms.
🍫 Gently fold in mini chocolate chips.
🍪 Roll the dough into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.
3️⃣ Assemble the Ice Cream:
🍫 Once the ice cream reaches soft-serve consistency, fold in the Snickers, Reese’s, cookie dough bites, and extra chocolate chips.
🥄 Stir gently to ensure even distribution.
4️⃣ Freeze the Ice Cream:
❄️ Transfer the ice cream into a large airtight container and smooth the top.
📜 Cover with plastic wrap or wax paper, pressing directly onto the ice cream to prevent ice crystals.
⏳ Freeze for at least 4-6 hours (or overnight) until fully firm.
5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy:
🍦 Scoop into bowls or cones and indulge in the creamy, chewy, candy-loaded goodness!
💡 Tips:
✔️ Cookie Dough Variations: Try adding different candies or chocolate chunks for variety.
✔️ No Ice Cream Maker? Stir the mixture every 30 minutes while freezing to break up ice crystals (texture won’t be as smooth, but it’ll still be delicious!).
✔️ Serving Tip: Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping for a smoother texture.
This Snickers & Reese’s Cookie Dough Ice Cream Extravaganza is a sweet, indulgent delight—perfect for hot days, parties, or just treating yourself! 🍫🍪🍦
