Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream
Source: Eileen Shaughnessy
Yield: 24 Servings

2 cup Milk
1 3/4 cup Sugar
1/2 tsp Salt
2 cup Half and Half
1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
4 cups heavy Cream
1 recipe homemade chocolate chip cookie dough (substitute pasteurized egg for raw eggs in recipe)

If chilled, take the chocolate cookie dough out of refrigerator and leave out till needed.

Scald milk until bubbles form around edge. Remove from heat. Add sugar and salt. Stir until dissolved. Stir in half and half, vanilla, and whipping cream. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.

Freeze as directed by your ice cream machine's instructions. Once ice cream has been through the entire ice cream machine process and is now a chilled soft ice cream, add the chocolate chip cookie dough. Just break up the dough as best you can with your hands and drop it in small clusters into the soft ice cream. Try to mix it around to ensure that the cookie dough is evenly distributed throughout the ice cream.

Put the ice cream in the freezer for several hours until hardened.

Origin: We pretty much took our vanilla ice cream recipe and added the chocolate chip cookie dough. Mrs. Field's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough recipe makes this a especially yummy!
