Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream

I love ice cream, and making ice cream is my most favorite thing ever! With it heating up in Ohio I am foaming at the mouth with ideas for ice cream recipes. I just cannot wait to share them all!!

You Will Need:
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
2 Cups Heavy Cream
2 Cups Whole Milk
1 Cup Sugar, divided
1 Vanilla Bean
5 Eggs, divided
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Cuisinart Ice Cream Machine
Tovolo Ice Cream Container

Heat vanilla bean, half the sugar, heavy cream, and milk heat until just boiling (you do not want to ruin the milk)

Take egg yolks, and other half of sugar and beat until pale and fluffy about 4-8 minutes 

Once the milk is warm (sorry not pictured) you want to add a little of the milk to the egg mixture and stir, add about 1/2 the picture total and then pour the egg/milk mixture into the pan again. Add vanilla

Heat over medium heat until thick and coating the  back of a wooden spoon, may take 10 minutes (keep stirring)

Strain custard 

Place plastic wrap on top, making sure it touches the custard and place in fridge for 3 hours or overnight

Make your cook dough, while custard gets cold. Roll into small balls (smaller than I have here)

Freeze until needed

Freeze according to your directions on your ice cream machine

Add chocolate chip cookie dough with 5 minutes remaining, add as much or as little as you like

Mine takes 20 minutes to freeze

So good!!

Place in a freezer safe bowl, I used glass because I did not have my silicone containers yet

There you go! Amazing homemade vanilla cookie dough ice cream!!
