Cookie Dough Snickers & Reese’s Ice Cream

I love making this Cookie Dough Snickers & Reese’s Ice Cream when I want an indulgent, fun dessert that combines gooey cookie dough chunks with crunchy candy bars in creamy ice cream. It’s a perfect treat for satisfying sweet cravings.

Why I’ll Love This Recipe

What excites me about this recipe is the blend of textures and flavors — the soft cookie dough, the salty-sweet crunch of Snickers and Reese’s, and the smooth creaminess of ice cream all in one scoop. It’s easy to make at home and feels like an over-the-top ice cream shop creation.

ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
• vanilla ice cream, softened
• edible cookie dough (homemade or store-bought)
• Snickers bars, chopped
• Reese’s peanut butter cups, chopped
• peanut butter (optional, for extra swirl)
• chocolate syrup or fudge sauce (optional)

directions

I start by letting the vanilla ice cream soften slightly at room temperature. Then, in a large bowl, I fold in chunks of edible cookie dough along with chopped Snickers and Reese’s. If I want an extra peanut butter punch, I swirl in some peanut butter or drizzle chocolate syrup. After mixing everything gently, I transfer the mixture to a container and freeze it for at least 2 hours until firm.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 6 servings. Preparation takes 10–15 minutes, plus freezing time.

Variations

I sometimes add chopped peanuts or mini M&M’s for extra crunch and color. Swapping vanilla ice cream for chocolate or peanut butter-flavored ice cream adds another layer of richness. For a healthier twist, I use frozen yogurt instead of ice cream.

storage/reheating

I store the ice cream in a freezer-safe container, covered tightly, for up to 2 weeks. There’s no reheating needed—just scoop and enjoy straight from the freezer.

FAQs

Can I use store-bought cookie dough?

Yes, but make sure it’s edible cookie dough safe to eat raw.

How do I prevent the ice cream from getting icy?

Mixing in the cookie dough and candy bars helps keep texture creamy. Also, keeping the container airtight is key.

Can I make this dairy-free?

I use dairy-free ice cream and check for candy bars without milk ingredients.

How large should the cookie dough chunks be?

I like bite-sized chunks about 1 inch square for the best balance.

Can I prepare this in advance?

Definitely. I prepare the mix and freeze it at least 2 hours before serving.

Conclusion

Cookie Dough Snickers & Reese’s Ice Cream is one of my ultimate dessert favorites because it combines so many delicious flavors and textures. It’s simple to make, endlessly customizable, and perfect for treating myself or impressing guests.
