How this recipe comes together
Making Cookie Dough Snickers & Reese’s Ice Cream is as simple as it is fun! Begin by softening the vanilla ice cream in a large bowl; this is important because it allows for easy mixing. Once it’s at a spreadable consistency (but not melted), mix in the chopped Snickers bars and Reese’s cups. Add the chocolate chip cookie dough for that delightful chewy texture. You’ll finish it off with a swirl of chocolate syrup and peanut butter for added flavor. After mixing, the ice cream needs some chill time in the freezer before it’s ready to enjoy!
Gather these items
- 1 cup chocolate chip cookie dough
- 1/2 cup chopped Snickers bars

- 2 cups vanilla ice cream (softened)
- 1/4 cup chocolate syrup

Pro tip: If you’re looking for a lighter version, you can substitute the vanilla ice cream with a low-fat alternative or even make a dairy-free version using coconut ice cream.
