Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for cookie dough)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for cookie dough)
- 1 tablespoon Milk (for cookie dough)
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.33 cup Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar (3/4 cup), vanilla extract (2 teaspoons), and salt until fully dissolved. Cover and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until cold.
While the ice cream base chills, prepare the edible cookie dough. Start by heat-treating the flour to eliminate bacteria. Spread the flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. Let it cool completely.
In a small bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and brown sugar until soft and combined. Mix in the granulated sugar (2 tablespoons), vanilla extract (1/2 teaspoon), and milk (1 tablespoon) until smooth.
Slowly stir the cooled, heat-treated flour into the wet mixture until fully incorporated. Fold in the mini chocolate chips. Roll the cookie dough into small pea-sized pieces and set them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 30 minutes.
Once the ice cream mixture is cold, pour it into an ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for churning. This should take about 20 minutes for most machines.
During the last 5 minutes of churning, add the frozen cookie dough pieces to the ice cream maker and let them mix evenly.
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container. Freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
Serve scoops of the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream in bowls or cones and enjoy!
