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.
Bananas. I’ve TRIED and TRIED to like them (especially in your shakes!) but I just can’t do it. The smell of a really ripe one turns my stomach. Pity, because they are so good for you!
That looks delicious! I haven’t had cookie dough ice cream in way too long!
I don’t like avocado either, even though I want to so badly. It’s the same thing with Greek yogurt and beans, which I only like in baked goods (and nowhere else) for some reason. i definitely like cookie dough ice cream, though. What a perfect summer recipe!
This is WAY too exciting! Chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream/gelato/ whatever is my absolute FAVOURITE. I know it’s probably a lot of people’s favourites but I mean my absolute FAVE!!! I am too excited about this recipe, I need to go take some deep breaths and then whip out my ice cream maker tonight!
Okay, so I just made this – kind of! I didn’t have time to make ice cream so I made my usual vanilla protein smoothie and added more gum than usual to thicken it up so it was a smoothie in a bowl. Then I made the cookie dough from the recipe above and broke it up into my smoothie – it was heaven! It was like my favourite part of ice cream – the melted part at the end 😉 – with all the cookie dough pieces! LOVE!
This looks deeelicious! I like just about anything except beets! I like them juiced, but as far as eating them raw or baked, I can’t stand them! I do like that they can add color to frostings though… ;o)
sunflower seeds I hate! I feel like they have no flavor and just get stuck in my teeth, I can’t stand them in salads
Avocado, eggs, coffee flavored anything, raw tomatoes… ONIONS. Ah I hate onions so much, hahaha I’m glad to see there’s more than one avocado hater though 🙂
Now we just need a dead-ringer for the always delicious cookies and cream—-one that’s healthier (and lower in calories—fingers crossed) would be AWESOME!
p.s. this looks delish
Ahah seriously? I hate cilantro as well – but now I can blame it on the genetics! 😀
I can stand it only with stir fry zucchini + mint, other way it DOES taste like soap to me as well! 😉
I love this recipe! I can’t wait to try it! For the qotd, I’m an egg hater. I’ve tried every type of way but they gross me outw
