How to Make Cookie Monster Ice Cream?

Preparing the Ice Cream Base

Let’s begin by creating the creamy ice cream base.

Mix Cream and Sugar

• The heavy cream and sugar should be whisked together until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Add Milk and Vanilla

• Add the pure vanilla extract to the whole milk. Combine everything well by stirring.

Chill the Mixture

• Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or until it is thoroughly chilled.

Cookie Dough Chunks

Let’s prepare the delicious cookie dough chunks while the ice cream base chills.

Cream Butter and Sugar

• Combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a separate bowl.

Mix Dry Ingredients

• In another bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour and salt together. The butter and sugar should be creamed slowly after adding the dry mixture.

Add Milk and Chocolate Chips

• Pour in the milk and gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to create the cookie dough. Ensure it’s evenly mixed.

Create Cookie Chunks

• Roll the cookie dough into small chunks and place them on a baking sheet. Once the chunks are frozen, let them rest for a while.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. As the cookies cool, they will continue to set.
