  Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream: A Perfect Blend of Creamy and Chewy

Introduction: Indulge in the ultimate dessert experience with homemade chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. This decadent treat combines creamy vanilla ice cream with chunks of irresistible cookie dough for a flavor explosion that will delight your taste buds. Let's dive into the recipe and create a batch of creamy goodness!

Ingredients: For the cookie dough:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

For the ice cream:

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the cookie dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  2. Gradually add the flour and salt to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined and a dough forms.
  3. Fold in the mini semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  4. Roll the cookie dough into small, bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the cookie dough balls for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
  5. Prepare the ice cream base: In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar over medium heat. Stirring occasionally, heat the mixture until it just starts to steam and the sugar is fully dissolved. Do not let it boil.
  6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
  7. Assemble the ice cream: Once the ice cream base has cooled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  8. During the last few minutes of churning, add the mini semisweet chocolate chips and frozen cookie dough balls to the ice cream, allowing them to mix evenly throughout.
  9. Transfer the churned ice cream with cookie dough chunks to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
  10. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
  11. Scoop the creamy chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream into bowls or cones, and enjoy the perfect blend of creamy vanilla, chocolate chips, and chewy cookie dough!
