Ingredients
Scale
- **For the Ice Cream Base:**
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- **For the Edible Cookie Dough:**
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- 1. To heat-treat flour for the cookie dough, spread flour on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
- 2. In a medium bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- 3. Add milk, vanilla, and cooled flour; mix until combined.
- 4. Fold in mini chocolate chips. Roll into small chunks or balls and freeze while making the ice cream base.
- 5. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together heavy cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt until sugar dissolves.
- 6. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually 20–25 minutes.
- 7. During the last 5 minutes of churning, add the frozen cookie dough chunks.
- 8. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container, cover, and freeze for at least 3 hours, or until firm.
- 9. Scoop and serve topped with extra cookie dough or chocolate drizzle if desired.
Notes
- No ice cream maker? Chill the base, then whip until slightly thickened and fold in the cookie dough. Freeze in a covered container, stirring once halfway through.
- Use pasteurized eggs or omit entirely if adapting for a custard-style base.
- Store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks for best texture and flavor.
