Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream
1 1/2 cups chocolate chip cookie dough
2 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups heavy cream, or whipping cream
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Chop cookie dough into bite-sized pieces. Place in a bowl, cover and
freeze. Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.
Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely
blended, about 1 minute more. Pour in the cream and milk, and whisk to blend.
Add the vanilla and whisk to blend again. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream
maker and freeze following the manufacturer's directions. When the ice cream is
quite stiff (about 1 minute before it is done), add the chopped cookie dough. Be
sure to wait until the last possible minute or the dough will get sticky and
unmanageable. Continue freezing until done.
Makes 1 quart.
