This ice cream is light and loaded with flavors of a snickerdoodle cookie. I used a lot of cinnamon because I love the stuff, if you are not such a huge fan, you may want to decrease the amounts slightly. The richness of the half & half and the sweetened condensed milk give the allusion of the rich, buttery flavor of the actual cookie. And as always, one of the best parts (along with it tasting amazing) is that it is really easy to make. So go ahead and try it! I bet you have most of the ingredients in your cupboards right now!
Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough Ice Cream
Yield: about 1 quart
Ingredients
- For the Cookie Dough
- 3/4 C all-purpose flour
- 1/4 C sugar
- 1/4 C sugar substitute
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 2 tsp cinnamon (a little less if you don’t like a lot of spice)
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 C butter, softened
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp non-fat milk
- For the Ice Cream
- 2 C fat-free half & half, chilled
- 1 (14 oz) can fat-free sweetened condensed milk, chilled
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 1/2 tsp cinnamon (a little less if you don’t like a lot of spice)
- Stir together flour, sugar, sugar substitute, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until combined. Add in butter, vanilla, and milk. Stir until a soft dough forms. Form dough into 1/4 – 1/2 inch balls. (I made half small and half larger to distribute the flavor but also have big bites of cookie dough!) Place cookie dough bites in a freezer safe container and store in the freezer until ready to add to the ice cream.
- Whisk together half & half and sweetened condensed milk. In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar and cinnamon. Add to milk mixture and whisk to thoroughly combine. Pour in ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer’s instructions. Five minutes before the finishing time or when ice cream is soft set, add the cookie dough bites and allow machine to finish churning.
- Serve immediately! 🙂

Julia @The Roasted Root says
Are you kidding me?? Cookie dough ice cream has been my favorite forever and I LOVE snickerdoodles! I’ve never tried snickerdoodle cookie dough ice cream and I’m completely in love with the idea. I’d have to make a double batch of the dough so that I could bake some cookies up too. Looks wonderful!
Jessica@AKitchenAddiction says
Thanks Julia! Pretty sure I ate about half of the dough while I was making the bites to go in the ice cream!

amy @ fearless homemaker says
Your food always looks so tasty! Love the idea of making sure there’s at least one cookie dough bite for each bite of ice cream – i hate it when there’s barely any cookie dough in my cookie dough ice cream! More is always good. =)

WOW! This ice cream is like my favorite thing EVER. I need to try it. PS want those bowls. And the spoon!
Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust says
Oh my gosh this sounds amazing!

Jelli says
I just made this and am blown away by how good it is! I’ve made loads of ice creams, but never a sweetened condensed milk-based ice cream. I’ve always stuck with eggs. Love the cookie dough bits and the ice cream itself. This stuff is definitely a winner. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe. My husband will be more than smitten when he gets home to his requested birthday ice cream!
