Step 1: Soften and Blend Ice Cream Base

Retrieve a spacious mixing bowl and gently soften vanilla ice cream at room temperature.

Using a spatula, blend the creamy vanilla ice cream with edible cookie dough until the mixture becomes smooth and consistently combined.

Step 4: Freeze and Set

Transfer the luxurious mixture into a freezer-safe container with a tight-fitting lid.

Carefully smooth the top surface to create an even layer.

Place the container in the freezer and allow the ice cream to solidify for approximately 4 hours or until it reaches a perfectly scoopable consistency.

Step 5: Serve and Celebrate

Remove the container from the freezer and let it sit for a few minutes to soften slightly.

Scoop the incredible ice cream into bowls, revealing the hidden candy treasures within.

Serve immediately and relish every magnificent spoonful of this ultimate frozen indulgence.

  • Let vanilla ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to achieve the perfect spreadable consistency without melting completely.
  • Cut Snickers and Reeses into similar-sized pieces to ensure even distribution and balanced flavor in every bite.
  • Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream before freezing to minimize air exposure and maintain smooth texture.
  • Create visual appeal by swirling chocolate syrup in layers or creating a marbled effect when folding ingredients.
  • Swap regular ice cream with dairy-free or low-sugar alternatives for a personalized frozen dessert that suits different dietary preferences.
  • Store leftover ice cream in an airtight container with a tight-fitting lid to prevent freezer burn and maintain its creamy texture.
  • Place the container in the coldest part of the freezer, keeping the temperature consistent to preserve the dessert's quality.
  • Remove the ice cream from the freezer 5-10 minutes before serving to soften it slightly and enhance its scoopability.
  • Enjoy the ice cream within 1-2 weeks for the best flavor and texture, avoiding repeated thawing and refreezing.
  • Pair with Bold Red Wine: Select a robust, slightly sweet red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon to complement the rich chocolate and caramel notes in the dessert.
  • Match with Crisp Coffee: Brew a strong espresso or cold brew coffee to cut through the sweetness and enhance the dessert's complex flavor profile.
  • Serve with Salty Pretzel Crunch: Sprinkle crushed salted pretzels on top to create a delightful contrast between sweet ice cream and salty crunch.
  • Garnish with Whipped Cream: Add a light, airy dollop of fresh whipped cream to balance the intense flavors and provide a creamy texture counterpoint.
  • Gluten-Free Version: Replace regular cookie dough with gluten-free cookie dough and ensure all candy pieces are certified gluten-free.
  • Vegan Alternative: Use dairy-free vanilla ice cream, plant-based cookie dough, and vegan chocolate candies like Enjoy Life chocolate chunks.
  • Low-Sugar Option: Substitute regular ice cream with sugar-free vanilla ice cream, use sugar-free cookie dough, and choose sugar-free chocolate syrup.
  • Nut-Free Adaptation: Select nut-free candy alternatives like Milky Way or 3 Musketeers instead of Snickers and Reeses to accommodate nut allergies.
