Ingredients
  

Ice Cream Base
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream This adds richness; half-and-half can be substituted but results in a lighter texture.
  • 1 cup Whole Milk For creaminess; low-fat milk can work, though it may not be as rich.
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the mix; brown sugar can add a caramel-like flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract For that unmistakable flavor; use pure vanilla extract if possible.
Mix-Ins
  • 1 cup Cookie Dough This can be store-bought or homemade cookie dough; ensure it’s safe to eat if raw.
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips Adds a delightful crunch; consider using dark chocolate for a richer taste.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and vanilla extract.
  2. Whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Add cookie dough pieces and chocolate chips to the mixture.
  4. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  5. Transfer to a container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Notes

For storage, ensure your ice cream is kept in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn, and consider adding a sheet of wax paper on the surface. This ice cream can be stored in the freezer for up to two weeks.
