Healthy cookie dough ice cream? That means you can eat twice as much, right?
Right???!!!
Is there anyone in this world who doesn’t love cookie dough ice cream? Melty vanilla ice cream with bite-sized pieces of soft, unbaked cookie dough packed into each creamy scoop. What’s not to love?!
At least, that’s what I was thinking yesterday as I devoured this cone.
And then went back for seconds.
Healthy Cookie Dough Ice Cream
(can be gluten-free)
Recipe found here: Healthy Ice Cream Recipes.
- 1 1/2 cups creamer (such as Silk) or canned full-fat coconut milk (see nutrition link below, for notes on a lower-calorie substitution)
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (or omit and increase the creamer or coconut milk to 2 cups)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar or coconut brown sugar (Agave or pure maple syrup will also work. I haven’t tried xylitol in this recipe.) (40g)
- 1 packet nunaturals stevia, or 1 extra tbsp of the sugar or agave listed above
- 1/8 tsp salt (don’t omit)
- 1/8 tsp baking soda (This is for flavor and can be omitted if desired)
- 1 and 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- chocolate chips
Mix all ingredients (except chips) in a dish. Transfer to your ice cream maker. (I have a Cuisinart, and it took 15 minutes to turn the liquid into ice cream.) Mix in chips. Eat now, or freeze for 20 minutes if a firmer texture is desired. (Note: homemade ice cream has its best texture if eaten the same day it’s made.) If you don’t have an ice-cream maker, freeze mixture and then re-blend in a Vita-mix or Blend-tec. Or you can use a different ice cream recipe as the base and still make the following cookie dough recipe:
For the cookie dough:
(Alternatively to the recipe below, you could also use my recipe for Cookie Dough Truffles.)
- 1/3 cup plus 1/4 cup oat flour (70g) (You can probably sub a different flour; I’ve just not tried it and therefore can’t vouch for the results.)
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda (for flavor)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar or coconut brown sugar (You can use xylitol; you’ll just lose that extra “cookie dough” flavor from the brown sugar) (20g)
- 1 tbsp plus 2 tsp xylitol or white sugar (21g)
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp plus 2 tsp milk of choice, or more if needed (40g)
- optional: 1 tbsp vegan butter or oil (vegetable or coconut oil) (14g)
Mix your dry ingredients very well, then add in wet and mix. Squish into a giant ball, then break off pieces and stir into the already-made ice cream base.
Mmmmm this looks delicious.
I can’t STAND cottage cheese or ricotta. It’s a texture thing :\
Im with you on cottage cheese! it tastes like nothing to me and the weird texture didnt help. I did however use it in pancakes and they turned out really good. you blend the batter making it so the weird texture goes away, Im surprised so many people can just eat it as is though.
I need to get an ice cream maker!! Yum.
I really dislike fish, which a lot of people find odd. Also, I hate cantaloupe and honeydew melons. Yuck. I know there’s something else I really hate that I’m forgetting… what is it??!!
I think we have the same taste buds! I cannot stand most fish…and cantaloupe/honeydew… disgusting!!! As well as watermelon… I feel like such a crazy person, especially during the summer for not liking them-I’m glad I’m not alone! 🙂
Definitely on the coconut-hating bandwagon, here. That and pineapple pretty much make me gag the minute they hit my taste buds. Sadly, I’m also horrified by the texture of chia or flax. That sticky, gooey mess reminds me of snot. >_< So gross!! hahaha
I think that looks soooo good! I don’t have an ice cream maker, though. Would you recommend the one you have or have you seen friends’ that work better/faster?
I LIVE on avacados! I really hate watermelon! I keep trying to like it, but it just tastes so gross to me. I’m also not a fan of potatoes… it could eat sweet potatoes with some beets, Quinoa and mustard/olive oil/dill/lemon sauce every day! Mmmm… I better get cooking! Haha!
I love mine. I think it was only like $40 if I remember correctly, and it’s quick and easy :).
I make my cookie for my ice cream with coconut flour. So good!!!
It’s true about cilantro tasting like soap. I hate cilantro. Like a lot.
But I love cookie dough ice cream! Thanks for an amazing summer recipe!!
I also have that cilantro-hating gene! I adore avocados, though. And pretty much every fruit and vegetable that I’ve ever tried!
this looks so good. i love cookie dough ice cream but it is usually so rich that i feel sick after a few bites, so this might be a way for me to have it! i can’t stand cilantro and neither can my dad. it’s a genetic thing, and like you said, it tastes soapy. to normal people, i’ve heard it tastes minty and fresh. i also hate cooked mushrooms, especially ‘bellas. its a texture thing. i just can’t stand anything chewy which is one of the reasons i never liked meat. i really only like crunchy or totally smooth (like yogurt) foods.
Wow you read my mind! I made your cookie dough dip the other night for the first time and was wondering if I could turn that in to cookie ‘no dough’ ice cream which seems to be popping up everywhere. Love the Silk creamer for ice cream recipes!
Katie, you are just like my husband! He doesn’t like avocado or cilantro but I love them both. For me, I can’t stand beets. Blech!
