Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Ice Cream

This no churn Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Ice Cream has a vanilla base and is packed with chunks of cookie dough and chocolate chips! It only requires a few ingredients, is full of protein, and tastes amazing!! 

Ever since making my Mint Oreo Protein Ice Cream, my brain has been spinning with the possibilities for more flavors to try! Simon picked up some cookie dough bites while he was out one day and the second he brought them home I was like yep, we gotta put these in the ice cream!

This ice cream is sooo easy to make. Really. You just mix everything together and let it set in the fridge overnight. (Or at least 6 hours.) The base is sweet and creamy with vanilla flavor and is filled with pieces of chocolate bar and buttery cookie dough in each bite. PURE HEAVEN!!

It’s also been significantly lightened up and has less than 200 calories per serving, just 4g of fat, and 11g of protein!! That’s better than brands like Halo Top and Enlightened!!! And guess what? It tastes like the real deal. 😉

HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH PROTEIN ICE CREAM

  1. In a large bowl, combine the Cool Whip*, evaporated milk, protein powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt. 
  2. Pour the mixture into a bread pan or insulated tub and place in the freezer for 20-30 minutes. It needs to thicken some or else the cookie dough will sink.
  3. Next, fold in the cookie dough bites and chopped chocolate. I like to save some of both for topping.😉
  4. Place in the freezer carefully to keep the dough and chocolate in place. Wait at least an hour, but eventually, when you think of it, wrap tightly with saran wrap (if you don’t have a lid) to prevent freezer burn. Freeze overnight or at least 6 hours. 

*Make sure the Cool Whip is thawed pretty well and not still frozen or it will not mix in as well. 

TO MAKE GLUTEN FREE AND VEGAN

To make gluten-free: use a gluten-free cookie dough. Any kind of gluten-free cookie dough works (homemade or store bought! And you can roll into your own balls.

To make vegan: use dairy-free cool whip, coconut evaporated milk (or other DF milk), use plant-based protein powder, and use vegan friendly cookie dough and chocolate

HOW TO STORE

Cover tightly with saran wrap and store. If stored well, it will stay fresh in the freezer for 3-4 months.
