Cookie Dough Ice Cream


I LOVE cookie dough. I often take my health into my own hands and sample raw doughs and batters, eating more than is real advisable. I can’t in good conscience pass along a raw cookie dough recipe without tweaking it so that it is safe to eat raw- no risk of salmonella, no risk of E. coli. Salmonella? Easy. Nix the eggs. You aren’t baking this dough into cookies so you don’t need eggs to provide structure. Substitute milk and you are good to go. 

But there is another often overlooked risk factor to raw doughs and that is raw flour. The FDA advises to not eat raw flour since it can be contaminated with E. coli. What to do? Toast the flour for 10 minutes in a 350 degree F oven and you eliminate that particular risk. And voila! Delicious cookie dough that you don’t need to worry about eating!

Fold those cookie dough chunks into a luscious no churn ice cream base, and you have a very easy and delicious dessert to indulge in. This handy base is just whipped cream and sweetened condensed milk folded together. The vanilla gives it flavor and the liquor prevents the mix from freezing rock solid. You can leave the liquor out of the ice cream base;  just be aware that you might want to take the mix out of the freezer a little bit before serving to allow the ice cream to soften a bit. 

Enjoy!


Ingredients:
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough:
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons white sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons whole milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup flour
6 tablespoons chocolate chips

Ice Cream:
1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups whipping cream
1 tablespoon rum, bourbon, or flavorless liquor (like vodka)
6 tablespoon chicolate chips

Method:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the flour onto a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove and cool to room temperature.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla, milk and salt. Finally, mix in the toasted flour until just combined and fold in the chocolate chips. Spread onto a parchment lined baking sheet and pop in the freezer to harden, about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, put the whipping cream into a large bowl and beat until you achieve soft peaks. Fold in the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, liquor and chocolate chips. 


Take out the hardened cookie dough and break or cut into chunks. Fold into the ice cream base. Place the ice cream base into a freezer-safe container with a lid and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight before serving.

Raspberry Pomegranate Jam

Tis the season to be making homemade gifts! Pomegranates are in season and their juice is a festive deep ruby red color. I knew I had to make them into a jam to give away. Straight pomegranate flavor is a little tart for me; I added raspberries for the texture of their seeds and their sweetness. This is a very simple recipe to make and will yield 6 to 7 8 ounces jars of jam or 12 to 14 4 ounce jars, if you like to give away sample sizes during the holidays. Enjoy! Ingredients: 3 1/2 cups pomegranate juice 1 cup mashed raspberries 7 cups sugar 1 tablespoon butter 1 1/75 ounce package Sure Jell Method: Sterilize your jars and lids. Set aside. In a heavy bottomed large stock pot, add the pomegranate juice, raspberries and butter. Mix well. Add in the sugar. Bring to a full rolling boil then stir in the Sure Jell. Allow to boil hard for 1 minutes. Remove from the heat and skim off any foam. Ladle into the sterile jars, twist on the lids and pr

Peek-a-boo Squares

My grandma, Mimi, taught me this recipe. I used to make this with her and my mother as a child. It is my very favorite dessert. It is incredibly easy to make, and even easier to eat. My favorite part of making this as a child was dusting every bar generously with snowy white powdered sugar.  My favorite version of this dessert uses canned blueberry pie filling; I vastly prefer Libby brand over the store brand. You can make blueberry pie filling from scratch with sugar, cornstarch, bleberries, etc. but using the canned stuff is easy in a pinch and is much for nostalgic for me. Plus, I don’t notice a vast improvement over my homemade blueberry pie filling and the Libby brand; it just takes me longer to put this dessert together.  I have been known to whip up a pan of these Friday night and have them disappear by Saturday afternoon. Be warned, these things are addictive! Ingredients: 3 cups of all-purpose flour 2 cups of granulated sugar 4 eggs 2 sticks of

Samosas with Yogurt Sauce

I love exploring many kinds of cuisine in my kitchen because I can control the spice level, and in the case of this recipe, the use of cilantro. Cilantro lovers out there- sub it info the parsley here. I have the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap, which limits my ability to enjoy some dishes in restaurants, but is easily rectified in my own kitchen. I hope you enjoy! Ingredients:  3 russet potatoes 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped 2 teaspoons curry powder 5 ounces peas Six 8 inch flour tortillas 4 ounces Greek yogurt Oil, salt, pepper, vinegar 4 tablespoons butter Method: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
