And oh my gosh my friends, this is even better than the raw cookie dough. I know, I know, it seems impossible that there’s something better than the raw cookie dough but seriously, Cookie Dough Ice Cream is. You’ll need to trust me on this one and go make some.
First, this is so creamy and light and refreshing. It’s not one of those ice cream that’s incredibly heavy. Not at all, because honestly who wants something heavy during Summer. This is more on the sweet soft serve side of ice creams.
The fun thing here is that we are going to be making cookie dough and then ice cream and then throwing everything together in the ice cream maker and let it work its magic. The ice cream maker slowly churns everything so the result is an ice cream that has little chocolate pieces and an overall cookie dough taste.
While you can keep it in your freezer for a couple of days, I prefer to make small batches and enjoy it the same day. It’s when it’s at its prime plus, the process of making the ice cream is so fun that the little ones love to lend their hands and help.
