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.
Raisins are humiliated grapes! I don’t like them much either. I like almost every fruit and veggie imaginable, except the texture of avocados deters me; they’re super rich too. I ‘can’t stand’ chard very well though. Anybody have any good recipes for it? Come to think of it, I hate pancakes which is weird because I really ought to love them! *sigh* ooh, coconut bliss ice cream is real good. And I know it’s weird but I like to nibble on that unsweetened baker’s chocolate now and then…=-D
Maybe there’s hope for all the cilantro soap-tasters out there…..as I once thought about it that way, too. Somehow, somewhere, my taster changed and now I LOVE it! But I hated black olives as a kid and now I love those, too. Go figure! Anyway…..you can keep the ice cream part, I think I’ll just go for the cookie dough stuff! Honestly, if I made some, I seriously doubt there would be much left for ice cream!!!
I don’t like cilantro either! 🙂
Too funny. As a kid, I hated avocado/guacamole and cilantro! Now I love them! I can see how people either hate or love cilantro…it really has a strong flavor. Not sure what made the change for me. I used to hate alot of things….anything chinese/asian, spaghetti…now I love all those flavors, too.
Oooh, cookie dough ice cream is so good! Funny I just made your cookie dough dip for the first time and now I have more cooking to do;)
I too hate avocado, glad to hear I’m not alone! But I also hate coconut which is too bad since it is everywhere these days…
I used to gag when eating avocado but now mixed into things I really enjoy it.
One food I have never liked and no matter how hard I try I still can’t stand it is rice.
I know thats really strange and everyone tell me but I really can’t handle it. Its no cookie dough ice cream in other words!
Raisins!!!! Blehh, I eat around them in rice pudding and oatmeal cookies.
You don’t like guacamole?! Gasp! You are the 3rd person today to say that to me! 😛
I’m really not a picky eater and tend to like almost all foods!!!
Oh, wait, there is one thing I tried recently that I did not like-crispy seaweed strips. it was way too fishy for me!
chocolate chip cookie dough is both my husband’s and my favorite ice cream. LOVE it! i’m intrigued by this recipe!
This looks awesome. I love cookie dough and ice cream so win, win. The food I can’t stand is eggplant. No matter how it is prepared, I still hate it. 🙂
