No Churn Cookie Dough Ice Cream
No churn cookie dough ice cream is such an easy treat that is BEYOND delicious! It is incredibly rich and the perfect mix of vanilla flavor and cookie dough. One of my absolute favorite ice cream flavors and always has been since growing up! The ice cream is incredibly easy to make with only 3 ingredients required for the base. You can easily customize it to make it how you like it, and you could also use any kind of cookie dough you'd like!

Equipment
- Stand mixer or hand mixer
Ingredients
For the ice cream:
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 1½-2 cups cookie dough separated into clumps
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp sea salt
For the cookie dough:
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar dark or light
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp whole milk
- 1¼ cup all-purpose flour heated, in notes
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips I used semi-sweet
Instructions
To make the ice cream:
- To start, in a large mixing bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and sea salt. Set aside.
- Next, using a stand mixer (with the whisk attachment) or a hand mixer, whip the chilled heavy cream on high until firm peaks form. About 5 minutes!
- Add about 1 cup of the whipped cream to the condensed milk mixture and fold them together using a rubber spatula. Once it’s mostly incorporated, add in the rest of the whipped cream.
- Fold together gently until nice & smooth. Next, add in the cookie dough. You can use any cookie dough or make my edible cookie dough above! If you want, you can split the mixture and do 2 different flavors. Keep one vanilla or add in something in!
- Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. I love these containers (they are 32oz each) and mine filled up 1½ containers. The ice cream yields about 48oz of ice cream.
- Store in the freezer for 8-10 hours or overnight until completely frozen. Enjoy!
To make the edible cookie dough:
- Melt butter & set aside to cool completely.
- In a medium mixing bowl, mix together melted butter and sugars until combined.
- Add in vanilla and milk, mix well. Next, pour in the heat treated flour (note below) and sea salt, and mix.
- Lastly mix in the chocolate chips with a wooden spatula.
- *Note- If you're worried about consuming raw flour, which is part of the caution of eating raw cookie dough, you can heat treat your flour. Preheat oven to 350F degrees and spread more flour than the recipe calls for on a parchment lined sheet pan. Bake for about 5 minutes and test the temperature. You want it to read 160F degrees. Cool completely before using.
Notes
For Storing: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for 2-3 months.
To make it dairy-free: Replace the heavy whipping cream with equal parts silk dairy-free heavy whipping cream and the condensed milk with equal parts condensed coconut milk! Use dairy-free cookie dough OR replace the whole milk with dairy-free milk (soy works best) and the butter with dairy-free butter (I love earth balance) and lastly replace the chocolate chips with your favorite dairy-free version (I love earth balance)!
