I have a confession to make. I am totally addicted to making my own ice cream. There is absolutely nothing more rewarding.
Firstly, you have the ability to use only simple, whole ingredients without any chemical additives and can tailor ice cream to your dietary preference. Plus you add whatever YOU want. Today, I decided I wanted Chocolate chip cookie dough.
Secondly, this is the richest, creamiest, most heavenly vegan ice cream I have ever had. I might be a bit biased here, but I honestly can’t find a vegan ice cream that I like better than my own. There I said it.
It may look like work, but at the end of the day, it still takes less time than hopping in your car and going to the health food store 😉
The problem with traditional cookie dough ice cream is the raw dough. Non-vegan cookie dough has raw egg in it, and can be unsafe. But, you are a smart little veggie and you don’t eat eggs, so this will never be an issue for you again. See, life is better vegan!
I have shared with you a quick vegan cookie dough recipe suitable for this ice cream, but you can use your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe.
Candice Tip: Use half the cookie dough for the ice cream, and bake the other half for ice cream sandwiches!!
