Dark Chocolate Covered Cookie & Peanut Butter Swirl Ice Cream
I’m FREEEEEEEEEEEEAKING out!
Ice cream in December? Yup. This is the best ice cream I’ve ever tasted. And I’ve had A LOT of ice cream.
I know I said I was taking a break from posting new recipes this week, and for the most part I am, but I just couldn’t wait to share this with you guys. It’s so dreamy. The best part is, (aside from eating it) you don’t need an ice cream maker! SO easy, SO decedent, SO fricken good.
Another great thing about this recipe is you can make it into any kind of ice cream you want. It’s got a great base (all ’bout that bass, ’bout that bass, no treble). Being the holiday season I decided to use these chopped up dark chocolate covered shortbread cookies from Trader Joes. Have you tried these? You need them in your life.
So throwing them into this ice cream, coupled with some peanut butter swirled in simply blew my mind.
You can choose to leave out the peanut butter, add oreos, candy, nuts, or whatever else your little heart desires. It would be super hard to mess this up. Once your toppings are mixed in, pour the mixture into a freezer safe dish, pop it in the freezer over night (if you can wait that long) and you’re done.
I’m jealous of myself as I post these pictures because we’ve already eaten it all. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
I sometimes always double this recipe and make two different flavor combos. It’s great for parties (I’m gonna make some for New Years Eve) or great for anytime.

Dark Chocolate Covered Cookie and Peanut Butter Swirl Ice Cream
- Yield: 8 1x
Description
Dark Chocolate Covered Cookie & Peanut Butter Swirl Ice Cream is made in minutes with no ice cream maker! It’s so creamy and delicious!
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream (1 pint)
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 15–20 dark chocolate covered shortbread cookies (I use the ones from Trader Joes, but any cookie will do)
Instructions
- Using a stand alone or hand held mixer, whip the heavy cream. Set aside.
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla into a large mixing bowl, stirring to combine.
- Using a spatula, gently fold in whipped cream in batches until smooth and combined. Fold in peanut butter and chopped cookies to combine. Top with extra chopped cookies.
- Pour mixture into a freezer safe pan (I use a loaf pan), cover, and freeze for 6-8 hours or overnight.
Notes
*Your whipping cream must be cold, I leave in the fridge overnight.
*Before whipping the cream, put your bowl in the fridge for 10-20 minutes to help it stay cold while whipping. This will speed up the process.

Could I make this vegan? Do you have any recommendations for a vegan whipping cream or heavy cream? Looks so yummy!
You can make a coconut whipped cream using the cream from a can of full fat coconut milk! It’s delicious! But I haven’t tried it in this ice cream so I’m not totally sure if it works.
