Strawberry Cookie Dough Ice Cream

Fresh Strawberries and cookie dough candy bits come together to make this creamy, dreamy Strawberry Cookie Dough ice cream.

Homemade Fresh strawberry ice cream is the best!  Rich and creamy…bursting with fresh strawberry flavor. Add the cookie candy bits; (a bit naughty to be sure…) and experience the frozen bits of cookie dough crunchyness in the cold, fresh strawberry cream. Now you’re making this into another ice cream entirely with the addition of only one ingredient!

Add some chopped cookie dough bites into your fresh strawberry ice cream for a whole new flavor excperience!

This recipe came from a trip to the store with the grandkids. They chose some candy to try in ice creams. This one is perfect with strawberry! Recently I made a batch of lemon lime Strawberry drink for floats. We tried it with this ice cream and it’s a perfect flavor match. The grandkids loved these floats!

In a cone or in a bowl this ice cream is a whiz bang treat. Try it as a sundae with chocolate sauce and graham cracker crumbs!

Making homemade ice cream is fairly new around here. We try to keep it under control so our waistlines don’t expand. Fortunately I take care of three hungry, active girls every day and they love ice cream too! They enjoy helping me make the ice cream and then they have to wait for it to set up in the freezer from soft serve, to ice cream cone hard.

So they get busy playing outside mostly. Lots of room to run around here and play. On the tire swing, in the kiddie pool ,or they have adventures in the tall grass in the fields. Even a big ole bing cherry tree just right for climbing and currently full of ripe bing cherries!

After all that; a nice homemade ice cream treat is a perfect way to slow down a bit.  Their patience is richly rewarded.

A nice treat after a busy day
