Ingredients
  

Ice Cream Base Ingredients
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup Milk Whole milk is recommended for richness
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Cookie Dough Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips mini or regular
  • 1/4 cup Butter softened (for the cookie dough bites, optional but highly recommended)
  • 1 large Egg Yolk optional, for richer cookie dough flavor

Equipment

  • Ninja Creami
  • Medium Bowl
  • Separate bowl

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar is dissolved.
    2 cups Heavy Cream, 1 cup Milk, 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar, 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract, 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  2. Pour the ice cream base into your Ninja Creami pint container, filling it to the maximum fill line. Cover with the lid.
  3. Place the Ninja Creami pint in your freezer on a level surface for at least 24 hours. Ensure it is completely frozen solid.
  4. While the ice cream base is freezing, prepare your cookie dough. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter (if using) and brown sugar until light and fluffy. If using an egg yolk, beat it in now.
    1/4 cup Butter, 1/2 cup Brown Sugar, 1 large Egg Yolk
  5. Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
    1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour, 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips. You want the texture to be slightly crumbly, not fully formed dough balls, so it can be easily incorporated into the ice cream.
    1/2 cup Chocolate Chips
  7. Once the base is frozen solid, remove it from the freezer. Remove the lid and place the pint into the outer bowl assembly of your Ninja Creami. Attach the outer lid with the blade.
  8. Place the Ninja Creami assembly onto the motor base and select the "ICE CREAM" function. Let the machine run its cycle.
  9. After the initial spin, check the consistency. It should be pourable and ice cream-like. If it's still crumbly or powdery, add a tablespoon or two more of milk and select "RE-SPIN." Repeat if necessary until you achieve a smooth, creamy texture.
    1 cup Milk
  10. Once you have achieved a smooth ice cream consistency, create a well in the center of the ice cream. Add the prepared cookie dough mixture into this well.
  11. Secure the lid back onto the pint and place it into the outer bowl assembly. Select the "MIX-INS" function on your Ninja Creami. The machine will spin to evenly distribute the cookie dough throughout the ice cream.
  12. Your Ninja Creami Cookie Dough Ice Cream is ready to enjoy immediately! For a firmer ice cream, you can transfer it back to the freezer in the pint for another hour or two.

Notes

For optimal flavor and texture, consume within the first week. Leftovers can be stored in the Ninja Creami pint for up to 2-3 weeks.
