About The Recipe

We’re back with another no churn ice cream! This time, it’s one of my personal favorite ice cream flavors…cookie dough! So, even though the summer weather has moved in faster than normal, that’s totally okay with me because frozen treats are the BEST! Especially any type of ice cream.

As a kid, I always kept to my favorites and never really tried something new. Cookie dough was always at the top of the list to get.

What was one of your favorite flavors growing up? Personally, mine were mint chip, chocolate and vanilla, oreo, and, of course, cookie dough!

Though, it wasn’t something we ever made. My brother and I made LOTS of Vanilla Ice Cream growing up (thanks to our mom for buying us an ice cream machine!) and topped it with whatever we had on hand. It’s some of my favorite memories, but…between you and me, I think this ice cream takes the cake!

So, there is no more having to wait on heading out to your local ice cream parlor to get one of the best flavors. All you need is a handful of ingredients, a hand mixer, a loaf pan, and a freezer!

It’s so simple to make, relatively quick to mix up, and soooo delicious.

No Churn Ice Cream FAQ’s

Do I Have To Use Heavy Whipping Cream? For this recipe, heavy whipping cream is essential! Once it’s whipped, that’s how the ice cream becomes so light and fluffy.

Does No Churn Ice Cream Taste Like Normal Ice Cream? To be honest, not really. While it’s very delicious, it is much sweeter than traditional ice cream. It also tastes like sweetened condensed milk, which works well for this recipe, but if you aren’t a fan of sweetened condensed milk, you should probably stick with traditional ice cream!

Can I use store-bought cookie dough? Absolutely!

How Long Does It Take For This Ice Cream To Freeze? Ours frozen in about 4-5ish hours. Though, it can take 8-12 hours, depending on how cold your freezer is.

4 Ways To Turn This Ice Cream Into A New Dessert

There’s nothing better than a scoop of ice cream on a hot day…but when you have leftovers, sometimes you might wanna do something special. Here are a few of our favorite ways to change-up this ice cream and make a whole new dessert!

• Make a milkshake! Simplicity is always better.
• Freeze it in a cookie crust like our Turtle Ice Cream Pie!
• Make some ice cream sandwiches with our chocolate chip cookies.

How To Store

Once this ice cream is frozen, you can keep it in cake or loaf pan, covered with plastic wrap, and in the freezer for 5-7 days.

We found that, if using an ice cream container, the ice cream will last 2-3 weeks before ice crystals really start to form!

Expert Tips

• If the cookie dough seems a bit crumbly, use your hands to bring it together!
• 2/3 cup condensed milk is about half of a single 14-oz can.
• Do not OVER whip the cream! Stiff peaks is when you quickly lift up the beaters and see a peak. There should just be a slight curve at the tip.
• Be careful to not over-fold the ice cream base. You don’t want to deflate the whipped cream!
• Use a metal pan to help freeze the ice cream quickly.
• If you feel like the cookie dough chunks are too big, feel free to crumble the cookie dough into the ice cream instead.
