How to Make Cookie Dough Ice Cream

Step 2 Press the Ice Cream option.

Pro Tips for Cookie Dough Ice Cream
For the best Cookie Dough flavor, use good-quality cocoa powder to create a rich chocolate ice cream base. If your recipe calls for chocolate pudding mix, make sure to use instant pudding mix for the best texture.
Add the mini marshmallows, chopped almonds, and chocolate chips after the ice cream has been processed. Using the Mix-In function helps distribute the toppings without breaking them down too much.
If the ice cream looks crumbly after the first spin, don't worry. Use the Re-Spin function until smooth and creamy. For an extra chocolatey dessert, drizzle chocolate syrup over the finished ice cream before adding the toppings.
Storage
Store leftover Ninja Creami Cookie Dough Ice Cream in the Creami pint with the lid securely attached and keep it frozen.
If the ice cream becomes firm after being refrozen, let the pint sit at room temperature for a few minutes before processing it again. Use the Re-Spin function to bring back that smooth, creamy texture.
Serving Suggestions
Top Cookie Dough ice cream with extra mini marshmallows, chopped almonds, and chocolate chips for even more of the classic Rocky Road flavor.
For an extra decadent dessert, drizzle chocolate or hot fudge sauce over the top and finish with whipped cream. You can also add crushed chocolate cookies or brownie pieces for even more chocolate flavor.
Serve it in a waffle cone or bowl, or turn it into a sundae with caramel sauce, nuts, and a cherry on top. A scoop alongside a warm brownie makes an especially delicious dessert.
