Paige’s disaster ended up being a win for me, because the
extra “Easter Egg” cookies she ended up with were left to my disposal. Having
recently seen Sugar Cookie Ice Cream on Beantown Baker (albeit, made with sugar cookie bars and a non-dairy base), I
sensed the rainbow of colors would look just right scattered amongst a vanilla
ice cream base.
Unfortunately Paige left before she got a chance to sample
the fruits of her labor, but I did enough sampling on behalf of both of us.
While the bright chunks of cookies made for a pretty ice cream, you could
certainly use plain-colored. The end result is all the same—a creative, not at
all disastrous, take on cookies and milk!
Ingredients:
-2 cups milk (I used 2%, whole would be even better)
-1 cup heavy cream
-1/2 cup granulated sugar
-1 tbsp vanilla extract
-10-12 sugar cookies, crumbled into small pieces
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium high heat. Stir in the sugar, cooking until dissolved. Pour into a separate bowl and stir in the heavy cream and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
2. The next day, freeze according to your ice cream maker's instructions. When ice cream is nearly finished churning, add the crumbled cookies.
