Cookie Dough Snickers Ice Cream – creamy, rich, and loaded with chewy chunks and chocolate drizzle!
Ingredients:
For the vanilla ice cream base:
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
For the cookie dough chunks:
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup brown sugar, packed
2 tbsp milk
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
½ cup mini chocolate chips
Pinch of salt
For mix-ins and topping:
1 cup chopped Snickers or chocolate chunks
½ cup caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzle)
Chocolate chunks or squares for topping
Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cream, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until sugar is fully dissolved. Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or overnight.
For the cookie dough, cream together butter and both sugars in a bowl. Mix in milk and vanilla. Stir in flour and salt until smooth, then fold in mini chocolate chips. Form into small bite-sized chunks and freeze until firm.
Churn the chilled ice cream base in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. When the mixture is almost frozen (about the last 5 minutes), fold in frozen cookie dough chunks, chopped Snickers (or similar chocolate bars), and a generous swirl of caramel sauce.
Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight.
Scoop into bowls and top with extra chocolate chunks, cookie dough bites, and caramel drizzle.
Decoration Tips:
Chunk Highlight: Save a few large chocolate squares and cookie dough balls for topping each scoop before serving to mirror the photo’s rich texture.
Caramel Drizzle: Use a spoon or squeeze bottle to create smooth, thick caramel lines on each scoop just before serving for glossy visual appeal.
Layered Plate: Serve on a shallow ceramic dish that catches the caramel and crumbles naturally for a rustic, indulgent look.
Serve Chilled: Let scoops sit at room temp for 3 minutes before serving to soften slightly and enhance creaminess and shine.
Textured Finish: For added depth, sprinkle crushed cookie pieces or chocolate shavings around the plate to highlight the layers and toppings.
Happy Baking
