Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsps milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, heat-treated
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Craft Cookie Dough: Cream butter with brown and granulated sugars until silky smooth. Incorporate milk and vanilla, then gently blend flour and salt. Delicately fold in mini chocolate chips, creating petite nuggets. Chill these morsels in the freezer while preparing the ice cream foundation.
- Whip Ice Cream Base: Vigorously beat heavy cream until it forms elegant, stiff peaks. Tenderly fold sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract into the whipped cream, creating a luxurious, velvety mixture.
- Construct Frozen Delight: Gently integrate the frozen cookie dough chunks and additional mini chocolate chips into the cream base. Transfer the luscious blend into a loaf pan or freezer-safe vessel, smoothing the surface with precision. Seal completely with plastic wrap or lid.
- Solidify Dessert: Allow the creation to rest in the freezer for a minimum of 6 hours, preferably overnight, until it achieves a perfect, scoopable consistency. Serve and indulge in the decadent treat.
Notes
- Freeze cookie dough pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking and ensure uniform size for even distribution in ice cream.
- Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks, but avoid overbeating to maintain a smooth, creamy ice cream base without becoming grainy or butter-like.
- Cover the ice cream surface directly with plastic wrap before freezing to minimize air exposure and reduce unwanted ice crystal formation.
- Substitute regular flour with gluten-free flour blend for celiac-friendly version, and use plant-based butter and condensed milk alternatives for vegan adaptation.
