Rich and creamy vanilla ice cream exploding with pieces of homemade chocolate chip cookies is what chocolate chip cookie ice cream is and what makes it so irresistible. This is an ice cream that will keep you coming back for more!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream

Not to be confused with chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, this ice cream is made of chunks of homemade (or bakery-style) chocolate chip cookies tucked into creamy rich vanilla ice cream. I love this ice cream when made with these cookies or these cookies.

The salt is optional, but I love that little something extra that it adds. Feel free to skip it if salted chocolate isn’t your thing.

The key to the overall texture of the finished ice cream is simply that the cookies be chewy and not too crispy. We aren’t looking for a crunchy bite in the ice cream, we want chewiness to remain when they’re frozen! They should retain their signature texture and flavors when they have been layered into the ice cream.

Sweet cream and orange juice come together in this easy homemade ice cream recipe. If you liked creamsicles as a kid, you’re likely to love this ice cream.

Orange Ice Cream

Nothing, but nothing screams nostalgia to me like creamsicles. It’s no secret that I’m a sucker for citrus in ice cream.

Today’s ice cream is about as simple and satisfying as homemade ice cream can get. It’s just a matter of whisking together the ingredients and pouring it into your ice cream maker.

Orange Ice Cream Recipe

This ice cream is at its best when made with freshly squeezed juice. You can either purchase freshly squeezed juice or juice oranges yourself. I prefer to juice them myself; it takes about 3 oranges to get the necessary cup of juice.

Orange extract gives the ice cream more depth of flavor, too. If you can’t find it, you can still make the recipe, but it will lack a little of the bright oomph the recipe yields when made as written.

We have a few takes on orange ice cream here, from our classic Six Threes Ice Cream to our Chocolate Orange Ice Cream and Orange Sherbet. Orange and cream go so very well together.

We have something for all my fellow citrus lovers, though, and not just orange. Lemon and lime fanatics are represented with our bright and sunny Lime Ice Cream and Lemon Ice Cream recipes.

Give me a brownie and ice cream over pretty much any other baked good and ice cream combination. So, naturally, a bowl of chocolate ice cream generously filled with fudgy chunks of brownies calls my name – loudly.

Chocolate Brownie Ice Cream

There’s something I simply can’t resist in the classic combination of chewy, fudgy brownies topped with a scoop of melting ice cream. And before we get too far into this mouthwatering recipe for brownie-filled ice cream, let’s not confuse this with the original Brownie Ice Cream – that ice cream = a bowl full of brownies blended into smooth, creamy ice cream. (It’s delicious as well!)

This chocolate fudge brownie ice cream starts with a rich, deep chocolate ice cream that is then fully loaded with chunks of chocolatey, chewy, fudgy brownies. My favorite brownies to add to this ice cream are Cosmic Brownies (skip the candies on top) because the extra fudgy brownies (with or without the frosting on top) just add to the awesomeness of this ice cream.

And to make your chocolate brownie ice cream even more irresistible, drizzling some hot fudge sauce through the churned ice cream while layering it into a freezer container will deliver sweet swirls of fudge in every bite along with those fantastic bites of chewy fudge brownie.

Side note – PLEASE make sure that the hot fudge sauce is no warmer than room temperature when you drizzle it into the ice cream. We don’t want that lovely freshly-churned ice cream to start
