Ingredients Notes

The magic of this ice cream comes from the combination of simple, high-quality ingredients that create a perfectly creamy and flavorful result.

Heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk form the base. The heavy cream provides richness, while the condensed milk adds sweetness and keeps the texture smooth without an ice cream maker.

Homemade cookie dough takes this to the next level. Made without eggs, it's completely safe to eat raw. A blend of butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and flour creates that classic cookie dough flavor.

Snickers bars add chewy caramel, crunchy peanuts, and chocolate all in one bite. Chop them into small pieces so they distribute evenly throughout the ice cream.

Reese’s peanut butter cups bring in that signature salty-sweet contrast. The combination of chocolate and peanut butter melts into the ice cream for an indulgent flavor.

For a finishing touch, a splash of vanilla extract enhances all the flavors, making the ice cream even more delicious.

How To Make This Cookie Dough Snickers & Reese's Ice Cream

Making this ice cream is surprisingly simple, and the results are absolutely worth it. Follow these easy steps for a flawless batch every time.

Start by preparing the cookie dough. In a small bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract, then gradually mix in heat-treated flour until combined. Fold in mini chocolate chips, then roll into small bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Next, chop up the Snickers bars and Reese’s cups into small chunks. Keeping the pieces small ensures they’re evenly distributed throughout the ice cream, giving you a perfect bite every time.

In a large mixing bowl, whip heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. This step is key to creating a fluffy, airy texture that mimics churned ice cream.

Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream, as this helps maintain the creamy consistency.

Now comes the fun part—adding the mix-ins. Gently fold in the cookie dough pieces, Snickers chunks, and Reese’s pieces. Stir just enough to evenly distribute them without overmixing.

Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan or airtight container, smoothing the top. For extra indulgence, sprinkle more chopped Snickers and Reese’s on top before covering and freezing for at least 6 hours, or until firm.

Storage Options

Proper storage ensures your ice cream stays fresh and delicious. Keep it in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and maintain the best texture.

This ice cream lasts up to two weeks in the freezer, though chances are it will be gone long before then! If it becomes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.

For extra convenience, pre-scoop portions into small containers so you can grab a serving anytime without waiting for the whole batch to soften.

Variations and Substitutions

This recipe is incredibly versatile, so feel free to tweak it to match your taste preferences!

Love extra peanut butter? Try adding a swirl of peanut butter between layers of the ice cream before freezing. It creates a marbled effect and adds even more peanutty goodness.

Prefer a crunchier texture? Throw in chopped pretzels or crushed graham crackers for an extra salty-sweet contrast that pairs perfectly with the mix-ins.

Want a little more chocolate? Drizzle in hot fudge sauce while layering the ice cream mixture for a rippled chocolate effect in every bite.

Need a nut-free version? Swap Snickers for caramel-filled chocolate bars and Reese’s for chocolate chunks or nut-free peanut butter cups.

Feeling adventurous? Try using different candy bars, like Twix or Milky Way, for a whole new flavor experience.

No matter how you customize it, this Cookie Dough Snickers & Reese’s Ice Cream is bound to be a new favorite. Give it a try, and get ready to indulge in the most delicious, mix-in-loaded ice cream ever!
