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!
- ½ C quick oats
- ½ C all-purpose flour
- ⅓ C brown sugar
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ½ C creamy peanut butter
- 2 tbsp butter, softened
- 1½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ C chocolate chips
- ¼ C M&M's
- 2⅓ C milk (the higher the fat content you chose, the creamier the ice cream)
- ½ C creamy peanut butter
- 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk, chilled
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- ⅛ tsp salt
- In a large bowl, whisk together oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Stir in peanut butter, butter, and vanilla extract until combined. Add in chocolate chips and M&M's.
- Form dough into approximate 1 inch balls. Place in freezer safe container and freeze until ice cream is almost done churning.
- Whisk together peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk. Carefully whisk peanut butter mixture into milk until combined. Stir in brown sugar and salt.
- Pour mixture into ice cream machine and churn according to manufacturer's instructions. When ice cream is soft set, add in frozen cookie dough balls and finish churning.
- Serve immediately or transfer to a freezer safe container and freeze until hard.

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!!!

WOW. This ice cream is CALLING me. Your pictures are SOO good. Ice cream is hard too because you have to get the shot pretty quick because it melts! I love the one of you scooping it! My husband and I might have to try this in the next few days… I can’t take it!

Monster cookie dough ice cream? Girl, you’re a genius. And now I know what I’ll be making since I’ve had my ice cream bowl in the freezer for over a week wondering what I’d make.
I’ll come back and let you know how we got along with this recipe. Pinning!
