Ingredients

Scale

Ice Cream Base

  • 2 cups Whole Milk
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 3/4 cup Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup Butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (heat treated)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 3/4 cup Mini Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Dough: Cream the softened butter and both sugars together until fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract. Slowly add the heat-treated flour and salt, folding gently until just combined. Stir in the mini chocolate chips. Set aside the dough while preparing the ice cream base.
  2. Make the Ice Cream Base: In a mixing bowl, combine whole milk, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk the ingredients until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture turns smooth. Chill the base in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
  3. Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the cold ice cream base into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-30 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  4. Add the Cookie Dough: Gently fold bite-sized chunks of prepared cookie dough into the churned ice cream, ensuring they are evenly distributed without melting the ice cream.
  5. Freeze Until Firm: Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm enough to scoop perfectly.

Notes

  • Heat-treat your flour by baking it at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes before using to ensure safety.
  • Freeze cookie dough chunks after lightly tossing them in flour to prevent them from melting when mixed into the ice cream.
  • Use full-fat dairy products for a rich, creamy texture.
  • Stop churning ice cream once it reaches soft-serve consistency to maintain ideal texture.
  • Keep the ice cream base and ice cream maker bowl well-chilled for optimal churning.
