Ingredients Notes

The magic of this ice cream comes from the perfect combination of high-quality ingredients. Let's break down the essentials:

Heavy Cream & Sweetened Condensed Milk – These two ingredients form the base of our no-churn ice cream. The heavy cream whips up into a light, airy texture, while the condensed milk adds sweetness and keeps the ice cream smooth and scoopable.

Snickers & Reese’s – These candy bars are the stars of the show. Snickers brings the perfect blend of caramel, nougat, and peanuts, while Reese’s adds that rich peanut butter goodness. Chop them into bite-sized pieces for the best distribution.

Edible Cookie Dough – This is what gives the ice cream its chewy texture and that classic cookie dough flavor. Be sure to use a safe-to-eat cookie dough without raw eggs or raw flour.

Vanilla Extract & Salt – A touch of pure vanilla extract enhances the sweetness, while a pinch of salt balances the flavors, making everything taste richer.

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

Making this ice cream is incredibly simple, and you don't even need an ice cream maker!

Start by whipping 2 cups of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This step is crucial for getting that airy, creamy texture in a no-churn ice cream.

In a separate bowl, mix one can of sweetened condensed milk with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Gently fold the whipped cream into this mixture, being careful not to deflate it.

Once combined, stir in your mix-ins. Fold in 1 cup of chopped Snickers, 1 cup of chopped Reese’s, and ½ cup of edible cookie dough chunks. Be sure to distribute them evenly so every bite is packed with flavor.

Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container. For extra indulgence, drizzle melted caramel or chocolate sauce over the top and swirl it in gently.

Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until firm. The waiting is the hardest part, but trust me, it’s worth it!

Storage Options

Homemade ice cream is best enjoyed within two weeks for optimal freshness. Store it in an airtight, freezer-safe container to prevent freezer burn. Pressing a layer of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream will help keep ice crystals at bay.

When ready to serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. This makes scooping easier and enhances the creamy texture.

Variations and Substitutions

One of the best things about this recipe is how adaptable it is!

Want to switch up the mix-ins? Try swapping Snickers for Twix or adding crushed Oreo cookies for an extra chocolatey twist.

If you prefer a chocolate base, mix ¼ cup of cocoa powder into the sweetened condensed milk before folding in the whipped cream.

For a nut-free version, use chocolate chips and caramel swirls instead of Reese’s and Snickers.

Looking for a bit of crunch? Toss in some chopped pretzels or toffee bits for a salty-sweet contrast.

No matter how you customize it, this ice cream is guaranteed to be a hit. Get creative, have fun, and enjoy every creamy, candy-filled bite!
