Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Beat together egg substitutes, sugar, and vanilla well.
• Add cream and half-n-half (or milk) and beat well.
• Pour into a covered pitcher and set in fridge chill well.
• Pour chilled liquid into an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions.
• While the ice cream machine is running, go ahead and chop up the cookie dough chunks- stir them into the ice cream once the ice cream maker has completed the freezing process.
• Ice cream will still be fairly soft at this point- transfer to an airtight freezer container and freeze until firm.
• Plan to eat up quickly as this only keeps fresh a few days.

Steps:

• First prepare cookie dough. Cream melted butter and sugars in a large bowl.
• Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, then beat well.
• Add flour, baking powder, and salt, then beat just until combined.
• Stir in chocolate chips. Refrigerate 1 cup of cookie dough for the ice cream. Do whatever seems fit with the rest of it. :).
• Next, prepare the ice cream. Whip the whipping cream and set aside.
• In a separate bowl, beat eggs and egg yolks. Add sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract, and beat until combined.
• Fold whipping cream into the mixture, until fully incorporated. The mixture should not have any white streaks. The whole mixture will be a very light caramel color.
• Pour mixture into a 12-cup container (or divide among smaller containers).
• Freeze for 2-3 hours until thickened.
• Take 1 cup of the reserved cookie dough, and pinch off marble sized chunks. Fold chunks into thickened ice cream mixture with a spatula. You'll see cookie dough color start to "melt" into the ice cream. Keep folding the cookie dough into the ice cream, until the ice cream is a uniform cookie dough color.
• Return ice cream to the freezer and freeze overnight or until firm.

Steps:

• Make the Cookie Dough: Cream the butter in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or use a hand-held beater) until soft and fluffy. Add both sugars and mix. Add the vanilla and 1 egg and mix. Add the remaining egg and mix. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix. Add the chips and mix just until just combined.
• Using your hands, roll the dough into a long thin rope; then cut into small bits. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Make the Ice Cream Base: In a saucepan over medium heat, heat the half-and-half, cream, and vanilla, whisking occasionally, to make sure the mixture doesn't burn or stick to the bottom of the pan. When the cream mixture reaches a fast simmer (do not let it boil), turn off the heat and let the flavors infuse for 10 minutes. Whisk together the egg yolks and sugar. In a thin stream, whisk half of the cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Then pour the egg-cream mixture back into the saucepan containing the rest of the cream mixture.
• Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. At 160 degrees F., the mixture will give off a puff of steam. When the mixture reaches 180 degrees F, it will be thickened and creamy, like eggnog. (If you don't have a thermometer, test it by dipping a wooden spoon into the mixture. Run your finger down the back of the spoon. If the stripe remains clear, the mixture is ready; if the edges blur, the mixture is not quite thick enough.) When it is ready, quickly remove it from the heat.
• Meanwhile, put 2 handfuls of ice cubes in the bottom of a bowl, and add cold water to cover. Rest a smaller bowl in the ice water. Pour the cream mixture through a fine sieve (to remove the vanilla bean pieces and cinnamon sticks) into the smaller bowl. Chill for 3 hours.
• Freeze the cream mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Meanwhile, put a bowl in the freezer. When the ice cream is frozen, remove the bowl from the freezer, and transfer the ice cream to it. Fold in the chocolate chip cookie dough (you may not need all of it). Pack the ice cream into sealable containers and return to the freezer. (Make cookies: bake any leftover dough in a preheated 350 degree F. oven for about 10 to 12 minutes.)

Steps:

• Crush half the cookies (about 20) to make crumbs. Combine crumbs with melted margarine and press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie plate. Stand remaining cookies around edge of pan. Spread 3/4 cup fudge topping over crust. Freeze 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, soften 1 quart of ice cream in microwave or on countertop. After crust has chilled, spread softened ice cream over fudge layer. Freeze 30 minutes.
• Scoop remaining quart of ice cream into balls and arrange over spread ice cream layer. Freeze until firm, 4 hours or overnight. To serve, garnish with remainder of fudge topping, whipped cream and cherries.
