“Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream”

“Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream”
Ice Cream Ingredients:
3 cups half-n-half
1 1/4 cups white sugar
dash salt
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups whipping cream
1 tablespoon vanilla

Cookie Dough Ingredients:
1/3 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup flour
1 cup mini chocolate chips


Soften butter, stir in brown sugar; stir in vanilla, salt and milk. Add flour and chocolate chips; stir to completely mix. Roll into small marble size balls, place on cookie sheet and freeze (may roll cookie dough into a log, freeze, then cut into 1/2-inch thick slices; cut each slice into quarters).

Combine half-n-half, white sugar and salt in a heavy saucepan.* Stirring to dissolve sugar, heat mix over medium heat until mixture almost comes to a boil. Remove from heat, and while stirring beaten eggs, slowly pour 1/4 mix into eggs. Return pan to heat and stir egg mixture back into hot half-n-half/sugar mixture. Continue to cook until ice cream mix thickens slightly and coats a metal spoon (temperature should be above 165 degrees for food safety, but do not boil mix). Remove mix from heat and cool. Stir whipping cream and vanilla into mix; refrigerate and chill ice cream mix well.

Pour well chilled ice cream mix into ice cream canister and freeze according to manufactures directions (also see below). When ice cream is frozen, remove dasher from canister and stir in frozen cookie dough clumps by hand. Enjoy ice cream immediately or ripen for later enjoyment (see below).
