Prepare the Ice Cream Base:

Churn the Ice Cream:
Pour the chilled ice cream base into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (typically 20-25 minutes) until thick and creamy. -
Add the Mix-Ins:
Once the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, gently fold in the frozen cookie dough chunks, chopped Snickers, and Reese’s peanut butter cups. -
