šŸ¦ Spring Cookie Dough Ice Cream

Spud Shopify

If spring had a flavor, it would beĀ vanilla + cookie dough pieces fresh, fun, and a little nostalgic (like the first sunny day when you suddenly need an ice cream moment).

This homemade, no-churn style ice cream is silky, scoopable, and loaded with bite-sized cookie goodness made with Meli’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix. It’s the kind of dessert that feels a little fancy… but takes almost no effort. Win-win. šŸ˜‰

Recipe: Spring Cookie Dough Ice Cream (with Meli’s Chocolate Chip Cookies)

Servings

About 8–10 servings (depending on scoop enthusiasm)

Time

  • Prep: 10–15 minutes (plus cookie bake time)
  • Freeze: 6–8 hours (or overnight)

Ingredients 🧺

  • 2 1/3 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 14 oz can Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
  • Pinch of Salt
  • 1 package Meli’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix, prepared and baked according to package directions
  • Gluten-Free ice cream cones (optional, for serving)

Instructions šŸ‘©šŸ³

1) Bake your Meli’s cookies

Prepare and bake Meli’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix according to package directions. Let cookies cool completely.

2) Whip the cream

Using an electric mixer, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form (about 2–3 minutes).

3) Mix the vanilla base

In a separate bowl, stir together:

  • Sweetened condensed milk
  • Vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

4) Fold it all together

Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture using a rubber spatula. (Go easy this keeps it airy and scoopable!)

5) Add the cookie pieces šŸŖ

Crumble or chop the cooled Meli’s cookies into bite-sized chunks and fold them into the ice cream base.

6) Freeze

Pour into a 9" x 5" metal loaf pan. Press parchment paper gently onto the surface to prevent ice crystals.

Freeze 6–8 hours, or overnight.
