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.
I absoloutley adore cookie dough ice cream! But healthy! How can life get better!

I have a grudge against fennel and fennel seed. Had some lasagna once that was redolent of the stuff and it made me nauseated. Sausage usually has fennel so it makes me queasy, plus I’ve always had a hangup about ground meat-type textures.
Most indian-style curry blends aren’t my cup of tea either. I think it’s the cumin. It just… smells like dirty feet or something to me.
Was never a big potato chip or pizza eater, either.
Awesome- another fennel seed/sausage/potato chip hater! 🙂 Fennel is the worst 😛
Cumin really does stink! It smells like sweat to me. Tastes good in stuff but can’t stand to smell it while it cooks!
My mouth waters for that right now!!! Ahhhh!!
weird. I love avocados!It’s like a natural butter substitute. If anything, you can use it on your hair/face haha 🙂
wonderful recipe as usual!
I am making this tomorrow. Or matbe tonight after all the kids are in bed! It looks delish. Our 14 year old son is away on a mission trip this week, he would love this. I think I’ll make it for a homecoming treat.
I thought there was something wrong with me because I can’t stand cilantro! I kept trying it and I never did like it, so I finally quit using it. And it really does taste like soap to me! Thanks for making me not feel like a freak!
I too hate cilantro. I couldn’t figure out why salsa tasted soapy until one day I was watching a cooking show years ago and the host said that it tasted soapy to some people and the light bulb went off! She also said that about 25% of the population felt that way. It’s a rarity to find people that don’t like it so I’m happy to read that I’m not alone! Love your blog!
Katie, I’m curious as to why you don’t use your chickpea recipe for the cookiedough poriton and use flour instead? is it a textural thing with the icecream? any info you have as to why theres oat flour instead is appreciated. i currently have the chickpea cookie dough chilling in the fridge for dessert after my salad 🙂
I listed it as an option in the post…
I just wanted to do something a little different for the people who are bored of seeing the cookie dough dip recipe mentioned so often on the site ;).
Hi Katie, this ice cream looks delicious! I wanted you to know that I have awarded you The Sunshine Award. I love your blog! It has helped me tremendously on my sugar intake. Thank You!
Thank you, Mandy! That really means a lot to me :).
Oh, this sounds delicious! Been way too long since I made CCK ice cream (almost two weeks, lol). I used to think I hated avocado because it was green and mushy, but once I started eating it, I loved it! I cannot be trusted with a bowl of guacamole. 🙂 I don’t hate many foods, but I’ve always despised mayonnaise and mussels / clams / oysters. Definitely a texture thing there, because that type of shellfish just looks like snot! Also never been big on bacon… The squishy fat grosses me out, and I hate that my entire kitchen smells after my boyfriend cooks it.
Eew I thought of another one: sauerkraut! That stuff smells so incredibly awful, I don’t know how people eat it!
Yummy!
I hate cooked apple. No apple pie for me! Blerghhhhh!
