Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream

Source of Recipe


From "How to Make Ice Cream" by Nicole Weston



List of Ingredients



• 1-1/2 cups whole milk
  
• 3/4 cup sugar
  
• 2 cups heavy cream
  
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
  
• 1 cup Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Chunks (recipe follows)
  






Instructions



1. Combine milk and sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in cream and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, 3 to 4 hours, or overnight.
   
   
2. Pour chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze as directed. When ice cream has churned, fold in the cookie dough chunks to evenly distribute them throughout the ice cream.
   
   
3. Transfer ice cream to a freezer-safe container and place in the freezer. Allow it to firm up for 1 to 2 hours before serving.
   
   Makes about 1 quart.
