About Cookie ice cream
Cookie ice cream is a popular dessert combining creamy ice cream with chunks or swirls of cookies, often chocolate chip or sandwich cookies. Originating from Western cuisine, it has become a global indulgence. Typically high in calories, fats, and sugars due to its dairy base and cookie inclusions, cookie ice cream provides energy but should be consumed in moderation. A serving (approximately 1/2 cup) generally contains around 200-300 calories, 10-15 grams of fat, and 20-25 grams of sugar. It also provides small amounts of calcium and protein from the dairy base, but these benefits are overshadowed by its high sugar and saturated fat content.
Health Benefits
- Provides calcium for bone health, with around 10% of the daily recommended intake per serving due to its dairy content.
- Contains small amounts of protein (2-4 grams per serving), which is essential for muscle repair and maintenance.
- Offers quick energy from its carbohydrate content, useful for active individuals or after extended periods of physical exertion.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store cookie ice cream in the freezer at a consistent temperature of -18°C (0°F) to maintain texture and prevent ice crystal formation. Consume before the expiration date for optimal quality.
