Ingredients Notes

The magic of this ice cream comes from using high-quality, flavorful ingredients that blend together for the ultimate treat.

Heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk form the base of this no-churn ice cream. The heavy cream whips up light and fluffy, while the condensed milk keeps everything sweet and smooth.

Snickers bars add a delightful caramel and peanut crunch. Chop them into small bite-sized pieces so you get a bit in every spoonful.

Reese’s peanut butter cups bring a creamy, nutty contrast to the mix. For even distribution, cut them into quarters before adding them in.

Edible cookie dough takes this ice cream to the next level. You can use store-bought or homemade (just make sure it’s made without eggs and with heat-treated flour for safety).

A splash of vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor, giving the ice cream a classic, well-rounded taste.

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

Making this ice cream is a simple and fun process that doesn’t require any special equipment. Just a few steps, and you’ll have a creamy, candy-packed dessert ready to enjoy.

Start by whipping the heavy cream in a large mixing bowl until stiff peaks form. This step is crucial for creating that light, airy texture in the final ice cream.

In a separate bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until smooth. This mixture serves as the sweet and creamy foundation for the ice cream.

Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture, making sure not to deflate the air you just whipped in. The goal is to keep the mixture light and fluffy.

Add the chopped Snickers, Reese’s peanut butter cups, and cookie dough pieces. Stir them in gently, ensuring they’re evenly distributed so every bite is packed with goodies.

Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan or a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least six hours or overnight for the best texture.

Storage Options

To keep your ice cream fresh and scoopable, store it in an airtight container in the freezer. It will stay delicious for up to two weeks, though it rarely lasts that long in my house!

For easier scooping, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes before serving. A warm spoon also helps cut through the frozen chunks of candy.

If you want to prevent ice crystals from forming, press a layer of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream before sealing the container.

Variations and Substitutions

This recipe is incredibly versatile, and you can easily switch things up based on your preferences.

For a chocolate overload, add a drizzle of melted chocolate or chocolate chips to the mixture before freezing.

Swap out the Snickers and Reese’s for other favorite candies like Twix, Kit-Kats, or Butterfingers for a different flavor experience.

Make it extra peanut buttery by swirling in a few spoonfuls of melted peanut butter before freezing. This creates beautiful ribbons of nutty goodness throughout the ice cream.

Prefer a cookie overload? Add crushed Oreos or chocolate chip cookies along with the edible cookie dough for even more texture and crunch.

Experiment with different flavors of cookie dough—chocolate chip, peanut butter, or even brownie dough work wonderfully in this recipe.

This ice cream is all about indulgence and creativity. Don’t be afraid to play around with the mix-ins and make it your own!
