Let’s face it. We all want to indulge from time to time. I mean, who doesn’t like ice cream, especially cookie dough ice cream? Problem is, most store bought brands are laden with chemicals and processed sugars. Even the organic ones. It’s hard to find one that doesn’t contain carrageenan, which is a possible carcinogen. So I created this little treat for you.

It was 80 degrees today in Texas and I broke out my ice cream maker for the first time in months. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, I highly suggest getting one. It is so much cheaper to make your own ice cream. This recipe couldn’t be easier. It’s dairy free, soy free, can be made gluten free and free of refined sugars. For the cookie dough part, I used my No Bake Cookie Dough Bites and rolled them into tiny balls. You will have some extra left over, but I promise they are delicious!
