Best Cookie Dough Ice Cream

Let’s talk cookie dough. I have a weakness. Hand me a spoon, a fork, or a mixing bowl, there’s no cookie dough that doesn’t have a siren call for me.

That said, I do play favorites. The Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream is a classic that I do love. However, it will never trump Monster Cookie Dough for me.

The most popular question I get is whether it’s possible to make ice cream without a machine. The answer is YES. You can make ice cream without a machine. Find the full directions here!

Monster Cookie Dough

I’ve had a weakness for Monster Cookie Dough for about as long as I can remember.

I’ve mentioned it before, but a particular friend and I have a history that includes eating almost the entire batch of the dough for our Monster Cookies at times in the past.

This love of the dough led to making Monster Cookie Dough Bites many years ago and now it has led me to the best ever Cookie Dough Ice Cream.

Cookie Dough Ice Cream Recipe

Monster Cookie Dough Instructions

1. Stir together the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, baking soda, syrup, and vanilla until creamy. Add the oats and stir again. Add half the chocolate chips and m&m candies and stir once more.
2. Scoop into ½” balls (about a scant teaspoon’s worth) and smooth with your hands. Refrigerate or freeze for at least 20 minutes before adding to the ice cream.

Ice Cream Instructions

1. Combine the cream, milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla in a bowl and whisk to combine. Pour into the ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Transfer the finished ice cream to an airtight container and gently fold in the remaining chocolate chips and chunks of cookie dough. Place in the freezer until ready to serve.

These are my favorite inexpensive containers for storing ice cream. They’re perfect for gifting (who doesn’t love homemade ice cream?) storage, re-using, etc. I write the flavors on the lids with a sharpie and it washes off with dish soap.

I have more ice cream scoops than I can keep track of at this point and I definitely play favorites. This ice cream scoop does the best job ever of cutting through firm ice cream and still delivers a pretty scoop. It gets bonus points for being one of the least expensive scoops I own as well.
