Making Your Own Cookie Dough Ice Cream

Making your own ice cream is so fun. You know exactly what ingredients are going into your ice cream, so you can control the quality and the amount of sugar and fat. Also making your own ice cream allows you to experiment with different flavors and mix-ins, so you can make it unique and personalized. 

Tips for Making The Perfect Cookie Dough Ice Cream

Making cookie dough ice cream is easier than you might think. Here are a few tips to help you make the perfect batch:

• Use high-quality ingredients. Use the best ice cream you can find, and make sure your cookie dough is made with fresh ingredients too.
• Chill the cookie dough. Chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for at least an hour before adding it to the ice cream. This will help the cookie dough retain its shape and texture in the ice cream.
• Add the cookie dough in layers. Add a layer of ice cream to the container, then add a layer of cookie dough chunks. Repeat until you’ve added all the ice cream and cookie dough.
• Freeze the ice cream. Freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours, or until firm. This will help the flavors meld together and ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
