Cookie Dough Ice Cream

Wednesday, July 13, 2022
Cookie Dough Ice Cream is the ultimate summer treat! There is nothing like enjoying a scoop of homemade ice cream on a hot summers day. Who doesn't like chunks of homemade eggless chocolate chip cookie dough pieces stirred into creamy vanilla ice cream? 

This has always been a favorite on a hot summers day and easier than you might think. 

A bowl with 3 scoops of Homemade Cookie Dough Ice Cream with a spoon resting in the bowl.

Warning! Stay away from the screen... This recipe is guaranteed to please all those needs, and cravings you have for cookie dough and ice cream! 

The vanilla ice cream is deliciously smooth, and the cookie dough, well do I need to say more? I think it speaks for it's self. 

Oh sweet deliciousness! 

The ice cream in the picture was only taken after 2 hours in the freezer, so it melted a bit quicker then I would have wished. But not one soul in our house was willing to go with out cookie dough ice cream for dessert. 

For a nice hard scoop of ice cream refrigerate for at least 5 hours but I recommend overnight.

Some of you might be questioning is Cookie Dough Ice Cream safe to eat and I'm here to tell you this recipe is completely safe to eat since there are no raw eggs and the flour is cooked prior to using.

Now go, go now, and get to making this Homemade Cookie Dough Ice Cream... Then hide the ice cream maker because it might be hard to keep from making more!

Here's how to make the recipe for Homemade Cookie Dough Ice Cream:

Heavy Cream and Whole Milk being poured into a stainless steel saucepan.

Heat in a large sauce pan over medium heat:

• 2 cups Heavy Cream
• 2 cups Whole Milk  

Bring to a simmer.

4 Egg Yolks and Sugar in a glass measuring cup for Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream.

Mix together until smooth and well combined:

• 4 whole Egg Yolks
• 2/3 cup Granulated Sugar 

Yes I took the pic before I added the sugar.. Sorry I failed..

Hot cream mixture whisked into egg yolk mixture in a glass measuring cup.

Pour 1/4 cup of the simmering cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture while stirring well to keep the egg yolks from scrambling and temper the eggs.

Continue to add 1/4 cup cream mixture while stirring until a total of 2 cups cream has been added. 

Cream and egg mixture being stirred back into hot cream in a stainless steel saucepan.

While stirring add the egg yolk/cream mixture back into the cream in the sauce pan. 

Continue to stir until cream mixture returns to a simmer. 

Cook for about 2 minutes until slightly thickened and remove from heat.

Vanilla being stirred into Vanilla Ice Cream base in a stainless steel bowl.

Place cream mixture into a heat safe container and stir in 1 tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract. 

Place container in the refrigerator, and refrigerate until cool, or place in the freezer for about 1-1 1/2 hours until cold but not frozen. 

(The freezer was my option because who has time to wait for cream to cool?)

A mixing bowl with butter, salt, and brown sugar,.

Preheat over to 350°.

Spread 2/3 cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour or All-Purpose Flour on a cookie sheet and bake for 4-5 minutes to kill any bacteria.

Leaving out the eggs and cooking the flour leaves this cookie dough completely safe to eat. 

Cream together in a mixing bowl:

• 1/4 cup Salted Butter
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 cup Brown Sugar

Until light and fluffy. 

Beat in 1/4 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract.

Flour being mixed into Eggless Cookie Dough.

Stir in Baked Flour and mix until incorporated. 

Mix in: 

 • 1 tablespoon Heavy Cream or Greek Yogur

Beat until smooth and creamy.

A mixing bowl full of Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.

Add:

• 2/3 cup Semi-Sweet or Dark Chocolate Chips

Mix into the dough, and stir until well incorporated. 

At this point you will be tempted to take a spoonful or two.. Go ahead taste a little..Just make sure to save some for the ice cream.

I sliced my cookie dough log in half and then cut into bite size chunks.

Cold Vanilla Ice Cream Base added to a Ice Cream Maker.

Place cold Ice Cream Base into an ice cream maker according to manufactures instructions and process for 15 minutes.

Bite sized chunks of Eggless Cookie Dough being added to the ice cream in the ice cream maker.

After 15 minutes add cookie dough pieces to the ice cream, and process another 5 minutes. 

Add ice cream mixture to a freezer safe container. I like using an old yogurt container, they seem to hold up well to scooping and don't break. 

Freeze ice cream for at least 2 hours. For a nice hard ice cream good for cones I suggest freezing overnight.

Scoop and enjoy! Cookie Dough Ice Cream is the perfect fix for a craving!
