How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, sugar, and salt until the sugar is dissolved.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks (if using a recipe with eggs, ensure they are pasteurized).
  3. Gradually whisk the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks, tempering them to prevent scrambling.
  4. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Do not boil.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. This removes any lumps or cooked egg bits.
  7. Cover the bowl and chill the custard completely in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  8. Once chilled, gently fold in the egg-free chocolate chip cookie dough.
  9. Churn the mixture in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions (approximately 20-30 minutes).
  10. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to allow it to firm up further.
