I just want you for my own.
More than you could ever know.
Make my wish come true…
All I want for Christmas is You!
When it comes to holiday decorating, I like to go all-out: sparkly garland hugging the banisters, stuffed snowmen adorning the mantle, no-nonsense nutcrackers standing guard at the kitchen table… Nothing escapes my holiday-happy hands.
Nothing; not even the food:
It’s like a holiday on a wafer cone.
To get the beautiful swirls, all I did was mix the sprinkles into the ice cream.
As I stirred, they melted into the base, causing the gorgeous colors above!
I’m sure this would work with any sprinkles, not just Christmas ones.
Sugar Cookie Ice Cream
Inspired by my Four Ingredient Ice Cream recipe
- 2 cups milk of choice or nondairy creamer or canned coconut milk (see note below)
- 1/4 cup sugar of choice (maple syrup, coconut sugar, etc.)
- pinch stevia, or 1 additional tbsp sugar of choice
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- a few drops pure peppermint extract, if desired
- your favorite sugar cookie dough – my own recipe is linked below
- red and green sprinkles – I used tiny dots
Mix the first five ingredients in a dish. Then transfer to your ice cream maker and watch the magic! (I have a Cuisinart, and it took 15 minutes to turn the liquid into ice cream. Warning: Make sure your ice cream maker’s base is completely frozen before use, or it will NOT work!) After desired consistency is reached, turn off the ice cream maker and fold in pieces of cookie dough. I also stirred in a quick shake of sprinkles, as mentioned above. The texture of this ice cream will be richer if you use canned coconut milk or creamer. It will be more like ice milk if you use a lower-fat milk (such as Blue Diamond almond milk). Serve right away, or thaw before serving.
For the cookie dough, I used this recipe: Healthy Sugar Cookies.

Question of the Day:
Do you have a favorite holiday song?
I really like Paul McCartney’s “Wonderful Christmas Time.” And classics, like “Santa Baby,” or even “Jingle Bells.” But nothing makes me smile as much as when that crazy song “I want a hippopotamus for Christmas” comes onto the radio.
Oooooh, cookie dough ice cream, you call my name…:)
As for holiday music, this time if year my ballet teachers start using music from the Nutcracker, which is really pretty.
Oh, yummy ice cream! The colors are so pretty and tempting! 🙂
I love a lot of Christmas music, but my fave is probably Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring. I used to call it “My Christmas Song” when I was little.
That’s it — I need an ice cream maker pronto!
I also adore “Wonderful Christmas Time” by Sir Paul McCartney, as well as “Happy Xmas (War is Over )” by John Lennon, “Feliz Navidad” by José Feliciano, and “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch”. And, indubiously any song that involves a choir of British children singing!
Oooh, the colors kind of make it look like spumoni! It’s supposed to be over 70 degrees on Christmas here- definitely ice cream weather.
I just saw this on Pinterest and then came to your site, not even realizing it was the same. Your ice cream looks so delicious! Your have so many recipes I want to try I can hardly keep up!
My favorite song is the one you used in the beginning of this post 🙂 Mariah Carey’s voice gives me chills!
I like the entire Point of Grace Christmas album. That totally makes me feel like it’s Christmas!
funny you should mention Santa Baby…. i teach a pole dance class at my local gym and I choreographed a routine to that song last week as a little bit of christmas fun for my class! 😉
As long as it involves Michael Buble, I’m content 🙂
My favorite Christmas song is Sleigh Ride, but you can’t go wrong with Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas Is You 🙂
