Make this creamy, dreamy, easy recipe for chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream with a No-Churn Ice Cream base and edible cookie dough chunks added in.

An Easy Ice Cream Treat

Leave it to Ben & Jerry’s to pioneer the invention of cookie dough ice cream, circa 1984.

  • This ice cream is easy to customize, add in a swirl of peanut butter or any flavor of cookie dough
  • Turn this dessert into ice cream sandwiches by pressing semi-chilled cookie dough ice cream between two cookies (any kind) and freezing them until firm.
  • Spread semi-chilled ice cream between layers of cake for a fun, frozen celebration cake.
  • Add a swirl of fudge sauce to make it extra decadent.

Ingredients

BASE: The base of this ice cream is super easy with whipped cream and sweetened condensed milk. Use full-fat sweetened condensed milk for the best consistency and flavor.

COOKIE DOUGH: You’ll need some chunks of cookie dough for this recipe.

You can make your own homemade Edible Cookie Dough recipe that is egg-free and made with heat-treated flour or buy it in the refrigerator section of almost any grocery store. Try sugar cookie dough, or any flavor you like.

Variations

Try adding any of the following to the ice cream before it sets:

  • mini chocolate chips
  • toffee pieces
  • crushed OREO cookie pieces
  • coconut flakes or chopped nuts
  • raisins or dried fruit

Experiment with different extracts too; maple, banana, rum, or coconut extract. Use extracts in very small quantities as they can affect the way the ice cream sets up.

Homemade no-churn ice cream is the wave of the future!

  • Whip cream into stiff peaks.
  • In a freezer chilled bowl, combine condensed milk and vanilla (per recipe below).
  • Fold in whipped cream, cookie dough & mini chocolate chips.
  • Spread mixture into prepared loaf pan & freeze 4 hours or overnight.

Ice Cream Tips & Tricks

  • Freeze the bowl before mixing the whipped cream into the condensed milk and vanilla.
  • Let the cookie dough come to room temperature so it is easier to incorporate into the mixture.
  • Chill the mixing bowl and beaters before whipping the cream.
  • Line the pan with parchment for easy removal
  • The fastest, easiest way to crush cookies is to place them in a zippered bag and roll over them with a rolling pin.
