Top Tips for Perfecting Snickers & Reese’s Cookie Dough Ice Cream Extravaganza

To ensure your Snickers & Reese’s Cookie Dough Ice Cream is a hit, keep these tips in mind:

Ingredient Quality: Use high-quality chocolate and fresh cream for the best flavor. The better your ingredients, the better your ice cream.
Heat-Treating Flour: If you want to ensure safety and quality, heat-treat your flour before using it in the cookie dough. Just spread it on a baking sheet and bake it at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes to kill any bacteria.
Chill Time: Don’t rush the freezing process! Let your ice cream freeze completely for the best texture.

Storing and Reheating Tips

If you’ve made a big batch and have leftovers (though we doubt there will be!), here’s how to store your ice cream properly. Keep it in an airtight container to prevent ice crystals from forming. It will generally keep well in the freezer for about 1-2 weeks.

When you’re ready to enjoy it again, simply remove it from the freezer and let it sit out for about 10-15 minutes before scooping to achieve that creamy goodness. Remember—homemade ice cream is best when freshly made, so try to finish it before it gets too old!
