Ingredients
  

Vanilla Ice Cream Base:

  • 4 egg yolks
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 cups heavy cream divided
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract

Cookie Dough:

  • ¼ cup salted butter
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp instant vanilla pudding mix
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp heavy cream
  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • pinch salt
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • In a heavy saucepan, whisk together the yolks, sugars, salt, 1 cup of the cream, and the milk. Heat over medium-low heat just until the mixture barely comes to a boil, whisking constantly.
  • Pour the hot mixture through a metal mesh sieve to remove any lumps. Add the remaining cup of cream and the vanilla.
  • Chill for 4-6 hours, or overnight.
  • While the mixture chills, make the cookie dough.
  • Cook the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it foams and turns light brown. Pour into a medium bowl. Stir in the brown sugar.
  • Add the dry pudding mix, vanilla, and cream. Stir until well combined. Mix in the flour and salt, then the chocolate chips.
  • Drop dough by small spoonfuls onto a plate or cookie sheet. (Or roll into tiny balls.) Freeze.
  • To make ice cream, pour the cold ice cream base into your ice cream machine and churn according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • Layer the ice cream and frozen cookie dough chunks in a freezer safe container. Let freeze for 2-3 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.

Notes

  • Makes about 1 1/2 quarts.
  • Don't be tempted to turn up the heat on your custard. If the mixture gets too hot, your eggs will cook!
  • If you use an insulated ice cream container, the ice cream will last up to two months. In a regular container, it will last 2-3 weeks.
