I’ve been on quite the ice cream kick lately…well, for the last 27 years. Before completely dropping dairy last year I was having ice cream at least once a week. Hello Dairy Queen twist cone with sprinkles (<- the best). Now that it’s officially summer and I’m off dairy but still craving the sweet, creamy stuff, I just have to make it myself! And when it turns out this good, I’m totally OK with that. This ice cream is so simple, requiring no fancy methods and just 10 ingredients! Likely items you already have on hand too, especially if you’re vegan or dairy free. If you were to tour my pantry at any given time, you’d likely find multiple cans of coconut milk, lots of raw cashews, and an eggplant or two. You never know when you need to whip up a dairy-free pasta or dessert. In addition to requiring simple ingredients, it’s also fast to make! Once blended, simply chill your batter for 1 hour in the freezer and then add to an ice cream maker. While it’s churning, whip up your cookie dough. In the last few minutes, throw in the dough! It’s super easy and SO worth your time. Look at that creamy goodness. And once you freeze it up, it somehow gets even more delicious. You’re going to love it. It’s SUPER creamyPerfectly salty-sweetDecadentStudded with chocolate chipsLoaded with peanut butter cookie doughSeriously satisfying& Perfect for sharing or smooshing between two chocolate chip cookies What? Who said that… If you’re a fan of peanut butter cookie dough, and you’re the type that will never turn down ice cream, this is the recipe for you. It’s begging to be made and kept in your freezer this summer. Even if you’re not dairy-free, if you have vegan or dairy-free friends they would love you for making this for them. It’s like a hug in a cone. Trust me. I ate one and it totally felt like a hug (maybe better). I don’t have to sell you on this anymore. MAKE this ice cream! And if you do, please take a picture and tag it #minimalistbaker on Instagram or Twitter. It kinda (always) makes my day when you guys make our recipes. Cheers!
