Homemade White Chocolate Sugar Cookie Dough Ice Cream

I love white chocolate.

I love cookie dough.

And I love ice cream.

So, when I got the inspiration to put all three of those things into one dessert I couldn't help myself. And the results were fantastic.

Just look at this ice cream!

White chocolate pieces to go into the white chocolate ice cream...

And sugar cookie dough, of course. (I made a bit of it into balls, then took the easy way, as listed in the recipe.)

And here they both are in the ice cream.

It looks yummy, doesn't it?

And it doesn't just look yummy, it tastes it, too. This ice cream is rich, creamy and white-chocolate-y.

Don't let all of the steps scare you away from making this treat. You will be happy that you have taken the time (which isn't really all that long) to put it together when you taste that first bite of white chocolate goodness!

Sugar Cookie Dough

• 1/4 Cup Butter, softened
• 1/4 Cup Sugar
• 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
• 1 Tablespoon Milk
• 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1/8 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 Cup plus 2 Tablespoons White Rice Flour
• Sprinkles (optional)

1. Mix together the butter and sugars. Add the milk and vanilla and mix again. 
2. Add the flour and salt, stir. Add in the sprinkles, if using.
3. Line a pan with a piece of wax paper. Form dough into small balls and set on the wax paper (or just press it all out into an 8x8 square and chop up once frozen). Freeze.

White Chocolate Pieces

• 1/4 Cup White Chocolate Chips
• Sprinkles (optional)

1. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave, being careful not to burn.
2.  Spread out into a thin layer on wax paper. Top with sprinkles immediately, if using.
3. Cool in the fridge until solid and then chop into small pieces.

White Chocolate Ice Cream

• 1/2 Cup White Chocolate
• 1 (14 oz.) Can Sweetened Condensed Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• Dash of Salt
• 2 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream
• Sprinkles (optional)

1. In a microwavable bowl, pour the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave just until is all melted, and stir together.
2. Add the vanilla extract and dash of salt and allow to cool to room temperature.
3. Once mixture has cooled, beat the heavy whipping cream until peaks form (between soft and solid).
4. Slowly add in the sweetened condensed milk mixture, pouring slowly into whipping cream with the mixer running.
5. Once combined, fold in the white chocolate pieces, cookie dough pieces and sprinkles and freeze for 6 hours or more.

I'm sure you and your family will enjoy it as much as my siblings and I did!
