I’m not a huge ice cream fan. If I’m eating dessert, I like a proper dessert with ice cream as an accompaniment. My husband is different. A bowl of ice cream makes him very, very, very (VERY) happy. He’s easy to please. And the kids love ice cream too.
I have been playing with an cookie dough recipe for ice cream so we could have a ice cream night at home for a treat. And this is a rare treat because it’s horribly unhealthy! But soooo good so everyone tells me! Part of the fun is you get to smash the cookie dough into the ice cream.
This would be a fun idea for birthday parties too.
Ingredients
40 grams butter
100 grams (1/2 cup) white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch salt
150 grams (1 cup) plain flour
75 ml (1/3 cup) milk
100 grams choc chips (optional)
Instructions
1. Cream butter and sugar together with a beater. (I used Thermomix Speed 6 for 6 seconds).
2. Add vanilla, salt and flour and half the milk and combine. (I used Thermomix Speed 6 for 6 seconds).
3. Add the remaining milk, a little at a time, until the mixture is a dough (you may not need all the milk).
4. Stir in choc chips if desired at this point. (The stir function on the Thermomix works well.)
5. The dough should be well formed but still quite sticky.
I recently made 2 batches: one with choc chips and one without.
6. Place cookie dough on a section of glad wrap or baking paper. Cover and press down so the dough is quite flat (1-2 cm).
7. Freeze for at least half an hour.
8. Remove dough from plastic and cut into small sections on a board (roughly 1-2cm cubes).
9. Place cookie dough bites in a plastic container and rerun to the freezer for whenever you want to use them.
10. When serving, it’s fun to smash it all together. I used a sturdy plastic plate. Add ice cream, a few cookie dough bites and smashed it together with a spoon before serving in a bowl or cone. Keep unused cookie dough pieces in the freezer.
Everyone was very (very) pleased.
