  • Author: Madilyn

Description

No-churn ice cream that tastes like real cookie dough, loaded with generous chunks in every creamy, dreamy scoop.


Ingredients

Scale

For Cookie Dough Pieces:

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips

For Ice Cream Base:

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk (scant cup)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, well-chilled
  • ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Prepare Cookie Dough:

  1. Using an electric mixer, cream butter and both sugars until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
  2. Beat in milk and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Mix in flour and salt until just incorporated.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips by hand.
  5. Refrigerate mixture while preparing ice cream base.

Make Ice Cream Base:

  1. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat.
  2. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until butter turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma.
  3. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in brown sugar.
  4. Allow to cool to room temperature, approximately 15 minutes.
  5. Whisk in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
  6. In a separate large bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks using an electric mixer.
  7. Gently fold half the condensed milk mixture into whipped cream.
  8. Add remaining condensed milk mixture and fold until just combined.
  9. Fold in most of the mini chocolate chips, reserving some for topping.

Assemble and Freeze:

  1. Spread half the ice cream mixture in a freezer-safe container.
  2. Break cookie dough into small chunks and distribute half over ice cream.
  3. Add remaining ice cream mixture and top with remaining cookie dough pieces and reserved chocolate chips.
  4. Cover with plastic wrap pressed directly against surface.
  5. Freeze overnight or until completely firm.
  6. Before serving, allow to soften in refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.

Notes

  • Flour Safety: Heat-treat flour at 350°F for 10 minutes if concerned about raw flour consumption
  • Storage: Keeps well-covered in freezer for up to 1 month
  • Serving: For best texture, soften in refrigerator rather than at room temperature
  • Equipment: No ice cream maker required for this no-churn recipe
