This is the cookies and cream ice cream of my childhood dreams. Frosted circus animal cookies dance through every bite of this memorable ice cream.
Circus Animal Cookie Ice Cream
This recipe takes the best and easiest ice cream base and loads it up with big chunks of frosted animal cookies. You get the perfect mix of crunchy cookie meets creamy ice cream in every single bite.
And while the drop of pink food coloring that I added is completely optional, it sure does bring a grin when you’re topping each bright pink scoop of ice cream with a dash of fun sprinkles.
If you know someone who loves animal cookies even a fraction of the way that “I” love these cookies, they’re about to have the biggest, happiest smile on their face with every bite. Each scoop of this animal cookie ice cream is a trip down memory lane.
Cookie Ice Cream
While I’ve been known to add all sorts of fun food items to ice cream, cookies are my go-to ice cream add-in. The satisfying crunch of Nutter Butter cookies in creamy homemade ice cream makes this Nutter Butter ice cream positively irresistible.
Sweet strawberries mingle with crunchy golden Oreos whispering of summer in this lusciously smooth strawberry shortcake ice cream. 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.
Creamy cookie monster ice cream filled with chunks of Oreo and chocolate chip cookies is a hit with all cookie-loving kids and adults! And this creamy oatmeal cream pie ice cream with hints of brown sugar and cinnamon is generously filled with pieces of oatmeal cream pie cookies.
