Just like it isn’t summer without sweet corn, it isn’t summer without ice cream. And lots of it!
Whether homemade or store bought, our consumption of ice cream definitely goes up in the summer!
If you’re like us and just can’t get enough ice cream, here’s a new flavor that you just have to try. Peanut butter monster cookie dough ice cream!
I’m usually not a big fan of cookie dough ice cream because it tends to be a little sweet for my liking. This peanut butter monster cookie dough ice cream, however, is just the right amount of sweetness and richness.
Plus, monster cookies are my favorite. I can resist just about any cookie, but not a cookie that contains peanut butter, oats, and chocolate.
The eggless monster cookie dough in the ice cream is good enough to eat plain, but try your best to not eat it all while you’re making it so you’ll have some left for the ice cream!
The more cookie dough you have, the better. The base is just a simple peanut butter ice cream with a hint of brown sugar to bring out more of that authentic monster cookie flavor.
Whip up a batch, and stay cool this weekend with a big bowl of ice cream!

We usually cannot keep enough ice cream in the freezer, but this summer has been so cool that the kids haven’t asked for it as much. Not that we stop eating ice cream in the cool weather…whatever I need this yummy ice cream in my freezer. Love the peanut butter cookie dough chunks!!!
