Ingredients

Scale

For the Ice Cream Base:

2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold

1 can (14 oz / 400 g) sweetened condensed milk

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

For the Edible Cookie Dough:

1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup (100 g) light brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup (125 g) heat-treated all-purpose flour*

2 tablespoons milk

1/2 cup (90 g) mini chocolate chips

Mix-ins:

3 Snickers bars, chopped

5 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped

1/3 cup (80 ml) caramel sauce (homemade or store-bought)

To heat-treat flour: Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. Let cool before using.


Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Dough
In a medium bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy (2–3 minutes). Stir in vanilla. Gradually add cooled, heat-treated flour and mix until combined. Add milk a tablespoon at a time until smooth, then fold in mini chocolate chips. Roll small bite-sized pieces (½ inch) and refrigerate until needed.

Step 2: Make the Ice Cream Base
Whip cold heavy cream in a large chilled bowl until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, mix condensed milk, vanilla, and salt. Gently fold whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture until smooth and airy.

Step 3: Add the Mix-ins
Fold in half the cookie dough bites, chopped Snickers, and Reese’s pieces. Mix just enough to distribute evenly.

Step 4: Layer the Ice Cream
Pour half the ice cream mixture into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container. Drizzle with caramel sauce and swirl gently. Add the remaining ice cream and repeat with more caramel and mix-ins for a marbled effect.

Step 5: Freeze
Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight. Before serving, let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes to soften slightly.

Notes

Texture Tip: Don’t overwhip the cream — this helps your ice cream stay creamy and not grainy.

Storage: Keeps up to 3 weeks in the freezer. Press parchment paper directly on top before sealing to prevent ice crystals.

Make Ahead: Cookie dough can be prepared and frozen up to 3 months in advance.
