Steps to Dessert Heaven
- Mix It Up: In a large bowl, mix together the vanilla ice cream and cookie dough until they are well combined. (Trust me, it’s like a hug in ice cream form!)
- Add the Crunch: Gently fold in your chopped Snickers and Reese’s cups. You want to maintain that delightful balance of flavors!
- Smooth Operator: Transfer the mixture into a serving dish, and smooth the top with a spatula. You want it to look as good as it tastes, after all!
- Drizzle Time: Now for the fun part! Drizzle with chocolate and peanut butter sauce as generously as your heart desires. (Pro tip: more sauce equals more happiness!)
- Freeze It: Pop your creation in the freezer for about 2 hours, or until it’s set. Patience is a virtue—just keep reminding yourself it’s worth the wait!
- Serve & Savor: When you’re ready to dive into this creamy goodness, serve it up with a dollop of extra whipped cream if desired. You deserve it!
Cooking Tips
- Cookie Dough Craving: If you’re short on time, store-bought cookie dough will do just fine. No cookie judgment here!
- Chunky vs. Smooth: There’s no right or wrong when it comes to how much you chop your Snickers and Reese’s. Just go with what feels right. A little chunkiness can add extra bite!
- Frozen Desserts: If it freezes longer than two hours, just let it sit out for a few minutes before scooping — we wouldn’t want you to lose a fight with a stubborn block of ice!
