Ingredients

Scale

Ice Cream Base

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Make the Cookie Dough: Start by creaming together softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt until fluffy. Gradually mix in the heat-treated flour and mini chocolate chips, forming a soft, pliable cookie dough that’s safe to eat raw.
  2. Prepare the Ice Cream Base: Whisk together heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth and flavorful.
  3. Chill the Mixture: Cover the ice cream base and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight to develop richer flavors and ensure it churns properly.
  4. Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the chilled base into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until thickened to a soft-serve consistency.
  5. Add the Cookie Dough: Gently fold bite-sized pieces of your prepared cookie dough into the churned ice cream for an even distribution of dough bits in every scoop.
  6. Freeze to Firm Up: Transfer the ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for several hours to set completely before serving.

Notes

  • Always heat-treat flour before adding it to raw cookie dough to avoid any bacteria risks.
  • Mix cookie dough just until combined to keep the texture soft and tender.
  • Ensure the ice cream base is thoroughly chilled before churning to get the best texture.
  • Use mini chocolate chips for better distribution and balance in flavor.
  • Store ice cream in airtight containers and press plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent ice crystals.
