Cookie Dough Ice Cream

Who among us can resist the allure of cookie dough? That sweet, slightly gritty texture, rich with the taste of butter, sugar, and vanilla, is a universal pleasure. My recent discovery of the Cookie Dough Parlor in Pinole, CA, has taken this love to new heights. This delightful shop specializes in creating edible cookie dough that's not only safe to eat straight from the spoon but is incredibly delicious too. On a whim, I decided to combine two of my favorite desserts into one: a creamy Brown Sugar Madagascar Vanilla Ice Cream peppered with chunks of edible cookie dough from the Cookie Dough Parlor.

A Flavor Adventure in Pinole, CA

Last week, I found myself stepping into the Cookie Dough Parlor, a place that felt like a dream come true for any cookie dough enthusiast. I left with a pint of their finest edible cookie dough—half destined for my ice cream creation and the other half for, well, immediate satisfaction. The joy of crafting this flavor at home was an experience filled with anticipation and delight.

Recipe: Brown Sugar Madagascar Vanilla Ice Cream with Edible Cookie Dough

This recipe is a testament to simple ingredients coming together to create something extraordinary. The base of brown sugar Madagascar vanilla ice cream is a treat on its own, but with the addition of edible cookie dough, it transforms into an unbeatable dessert.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup sugar

• 1/4 cup brown sugar

• 1 cup whole milk

• 2 cups heavy cream

• 1 teaspoon Madagascar vanilla extract

• 3/4 cup edible cookie dough (preferably from the Cookie Dough Parlor)

Instructions:

1. Mix the Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the white and brown sugars until well combined. The brown sugar not only sweetens the ice cream but adds a rich depth of flavor reminiscent of caramel.

2. Combine the Base: Add the whole milk to the sugars and stir until the sugars have completely dissolved. Then, pour in the heavy cream and add the Madagascar vanilla extract, known for its pure, rich flavor, and mix well.

3. Churn: Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

4. Fold in Cookie Dough: Once the ice cream is churned, gently fold in the edible cookie dough chunks, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.

5. Freeze: Transfer the ice cream into a freezer-safe container and freeze until it reaches your desired consistency, usually about 2-4 hours.

6. Serve and Enjoy: Scoop the Brown Sugar Madagascar Vanilla Ice Cream into bowls or cones, revealing generous chunks of cookie dough in every serving.
