Cookie Dough Ice Cream Ingredients
- Flour - all-purpose flour
- Butter
- Sugar - brown sugar
- Vanilla - vanilla extract
- Chocolate chips - milk chocolate chips
- Cream - whipping cream
- Sweetened condensed milk
An important step in making edible cookie dough is heat-treating the flour. If you wanted to heat treat additional flour for another recipe, you can do it all at once and store the extra in an airtight container until you are ready to use it.
Be careful not to overmix the cream. Past the puffy and airy stage, the cream will turn to butter! There’s no fixing that, so go carefully.
Lining the loaf pan with parchment paper before filling will make cleaning up much easier. When it’s time to eat, use sprinkles, chocolate syrup, or any other ice cream toppings to make this dessert even more delicious.
How to Make Cookie Dough Ice Cream
FIRST STEP: Before adding the flour, it is important to heat treat it. Add the flour into a medium-sized heat-safe bowl. Microwave the flour in two 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval. Allow the flour to cool completely before mixing it into the cookie dough ingredients.
SECOND STEP: Blend the butter and brown sugar, then slowly add the flour, the 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and the chocolate chips. Set it aside.
THIRD STEP: Whip up your heavy whipping cream with a mixer for at least 4 minutes until soft peaks form. The cream will go through several stages from bubbly, to slightly thickened, to rippling, and finally puffy and airy.

FOURTH STEP: Gently stir in the sweetened condensed milk along with the 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. You don't want to deflate the cream, so avoid overmixing.
FIFTH STEP: Crumble in pieces of the no-bake cookie dough into the ice cream, folding the mixture over carefully. Reserve about ⅓ to ½ cup of the dough to sprinkle over top of the ice cream.
SIXTH STEP: Pour the ice cream mixture into a clean loaf pan or casserole dish lined with parchment paper. Smooth it out into an even layer with the back of a spoon or an offset spatula. Sprinkle the cookie dough crumbles on top.
SEVENTH STEP: Cover with tin foil or plastic wrap and freeze for 4 hours or overnight.
What is no-churn ice cream?
A no-churn recipe means no ice cream maker and, as you could guess, no churning. Typically, when making ice cream from scratch, you will need to use an ice cream machine, and that usually entails the step of “churning” the ice cream. A no-churn ice cream recipe makes it super easy to make homemade ice cream that is just as tasty as regular ice cream but doesn’t need special equipment.
Can I use nonfat milk in this ice cream recipe?
You can use any type of milk in this chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream recipe, but lower-fat milk such as skim milk will result in a less creamy texture of ice cream than if you make it with whole milk or cream.
Is cookie dough ice cream safe to eat?
Yes! Our cookie dough ice cream is made with edible cookie dough, meaning no eggs, so that it is safe to eat.
How to Store Cookie Dough Ice Cream
IN THE FREEZER: Be sure to store the finished ice cream in the freezer wrapped with plastic or with an airtight lid on top. When ready to serve, take it out about 5 minutes before you plan to scoop it to give it a bit of time to thaw. This will make it much easier to scoop out. Place back in the freezer immediately after serving. The texture may change if the ice cream is taken out and put back in the freezer too many times.
