Chocolate Ice Cream with Peanut Butter Cookie Dough & Fudge Swirls

I couldn’t let summer pass me by without making some ice cream. It’s a staple.

However…since an ice cream maker isn’t something most people have on hand, and it’s something I definitely don’t have living with a bunch of other girls in college, I opted to go the ice cream maker-less route for this ice cream.

The pros: the ice cream is SO easy to make, so few ingredients, and requires ZERO cooking. No sitting with a custard over the stovetop for too long, stirring and waiting, waiting and stirring…this ice cream base recipe requires little to no effort on your part. You simply whip the cream, mix the sweetened condensed milk with some melted chocolate, fold them all together and voila: chocolate ice cream.

The cons: uh…none? You get awesome, easy, ice cream. Definitely no cons.

Ice cream is nothing without delicious mix-ins…so I went peanut butter-y because it had been far too long since I had posted anything with one of my favorite flavor combinations of chocolate and peanut butter.

First mix-in is peanut butter cookie dough. I opted to keep this eggless for health reasons and flourless so even the gluten-free folks out there can still enjoy a little bit of peanut butter cookie dough in their ice cream. Second mix in is a Magic Shell-esque chocolate swirl. The chocolate swirl also contains peanut butter and a little coconut oil to keep the swirl soft and fudgy throughout the ice cream.

Lemme just tell you guys, the ice cream together magically.

The cookie dough chunks combined with the rich and fudgy chocolate swirls complement the light, creamy ice cream so perfectly. This ice cream is not too rich or decadent, and it’s so easy to go to town on. Case in point: four friends and I went at the container of ice cream last night wielding spoons and did some serious damage.

I seriously have to keep stopping myself from stopping by the freezer on every visit to the kitchen to stop my self from stealing a bite or three. Too good! You guys better try this one before summer is over – what’s summer without homemade ice cream?! Enjoy!
