About a week ago I came across this revolutionary way to make ice cream without an ice cream maker. Wha?? Seriously? The kicker is that this method of making ice cream is delicious. It's so creamy and smooth... we were dying over the texture the first time we made it. I decided to be brave and make up my own recipe. It is basically a knock off of Coldstone's Cookie Doughn't Ya Want Some (one of my favorites). But let me tell you folks, it turned out even better than the real thing. You are going to want to make this ice cream soon. Like, tonight. Or better yet right now.
Warning: this is not a bathing suit season approved food. unless of course you are like me and realize food is much more enjoyable than looking good at the pool.
First, we are going to start with the "base" of our no-ice-cream-maker-needed ice cream. You want to start with two bowls. One of which will contain 2 cups of whipping cream, thoroughly whipped and the other will have one can of sweetened condensed milk.
Next, we need to introduce the cast of ingredients in this killer recipe. You will need 1 to 2 heaping spoonfuls of Mrs. Richardson's Butterscotch Caramel, and yes it must be this exact brand and flavor! You will also need 1 tsp. vanilla, 1/2 cup (heaping) mini semi-sweet chocolate chips and some of your favorite cookie dough that has been frozen. I love Marta's idea to roll into balls before freezing.
After you and the ingredients have been acquainted, it is time to add them all to the bowl of sweetened condensed milk. Stir them together. Then fold entire mixture into the whipped cream.
Pour into a 2 quart tupperware container and then swirl in the last tablespoonful of Mrs. Richardson's Butterscotch Caramel and freeze. It takes at least 6 hours before it is solid enough to be considered ice cream so I usually make it the night before.
Once it has spent time in the freezer, scoop it into a cone or bowl OR just eat it right out of the container and enjoy! Yum.
