Dessert: Chocolate-Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream
2 eggs
2 c heavy whipping cream

1 c milk
3/4 c sugar
2 t vanilla
1/2 tube of chocolate chip cookie dough


I've had this recipe for ages, but I think it originated from a Ben & Jerry's recipe book.


Gather your ingredients.


Roll the cookie dough into little balls, and put then into the freezer to get hard.

One at a time, add eggs to the bowl while using the whisk attachment. If you don't have a Kitchen Aid then don't worry a good ole whisk or hand-held mixer will do the trick.

Carefully add the milk, whipping cream,  sugar and the vanilla.

Transfer the mix to your ice cream machine. I am using the Kitchen Aid Ice Cream Attachment, which I love- thank you wedding registry!

Once the ice cream reaches the desired texture, it took me 30 minutes, add the cookie dough balls one at a time.

Transfer the ice cream to an air tight container and let it freeze for up to 6 hours. Put some scoops in a bowl and top with your favorite crushin's (I used Oreos!)

This is a Super Easy Ice Cream recipe, because it doesn't have a custard base. No sauce pan to clean! The cost of not starting with a custard is that it is a very light cream, so if you're looking for a rich texture then I would recommend my next recipe- Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.
