Homemade cookie dough Snickers & Reese’s ice cream blends rich chocolate, creamy peanut butter, and nostalgic candy bar flavors. Dessert enthusiasts will savor this indulgent frozen treat that combines classic comfort with gourmet creativity.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (474 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1 (14 oz / 397 g) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (85 g) mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (75 g) chopped Snickers bars
- 1/2 cup (75 g) chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
Instructions
- Whip heavy cream in a spacious mixing bowl until it forms robust, standing peaks with a smooth, glossy texture.
- In a separate vessel, blend sweetened condensed milk with pure vanilla extract until thoroughly incorporated.
- Carefully integrate the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture using a gentle folding technique to maintain the cream’s airy structure.
- Delicately incorporate chocolate chips, roughly chopped Snickers bars, Reese’s candies, and crumbled cookie dough pieces throughout the creamy base.
- Transfer the luxurious mixture into a freezer-safe container, ensuring an even distribution of mix-ins.
- Seal the container securely with a tight-fitting lid or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Freeze for a minimum of 6-8 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the ice cream to set completely and develop a rich, creamy consistency.
- When ready to serve, allow the ice cream to soften at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to achieve the perfect scoopable texture.
- Serve in chilled bowls, garnishing with additional candy pieces if desired, and savor the decadent frozen treat.
Notes
- Customize the texture by adjusting the cream whipping time, ensuring stiff peaks for a lighter, fluffier ice cream base.
- Break chocolate bars and candies into smaller chunks for more even distribution throughout the dessert, creating delightful surprise bites.
- Consider using low-fat condensed milk or a dairy-free alternative like coconut milk for those with dietary restrictions or seeking a lighter version.
- Prevent ice crystallization by pressing plastic wrap directly onto the surface before freezing, which helps maintain a smooth, creamy consistency.
