Every time I learn a new trick or skill in the kitchen I can get a little obsessed! Now that I know about homemade ice cream my brain is thinking about what flavors I want to try next. This week I tried out chocolate chip cookie dough. I used my cream cheese ice cream recipe
as a base and added big chunks of cookie dough. I really love cream
cheese ice cream because it is SUPER easy to make and deliciously rich
like cheese cake!Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream, makes about 1/2 quart.
Needed: 8 ounces softened cream cheese, 1 cup whole milk, 3/4 cup
sugar, a pinch of salt, 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream and 2 cups prepared
or store-bought* cookie dough.
In a bowl blend together cream cheese, milk, sugar and salt.
Sometimes I blend the cream cheese on it's own for a few seconds before
this step, this helps to ensure you don't get any lumps. But even if you
end up with a few, lumps of cream cheese aren't so bad! Now add in the
heavy whipping cream and stir until mixed. Cover and allow to chill
until the batter is very cold (2-4 hours or overnight). Then pour batter
in your prepared ice cream maker. During the last few minutes of mixing
add in the cubed cookie dough.

*Most store-bought cookie dough contains eggs. If you feel
uncomfortable about using uncooked eggs then I would recommend making
your own cookie dough. Just use your favorite recipe but leave out any
eggs. Chill and then cube for the recipe.
