Well if I thought my last post had a long winded title this one is even more ridiculous. But yaaaay, ice-cream!
After seeing Kate's no churn ice-cream a couple of weeks ago I knew I had to make some too. The recipe suited me perfectly: satisfyingly simple and plain enough to pimp up with extra flavours.

Naturally Nutella had to be added to the ice-cream party. Nutella *and* chocolate chip cookie dough? Take that, Ben 'n' Jerry's!
Unlike Kate I used an eggless cookie dough recipe as I tend to feel wary about eating or serving a sizeable amount of raw egg mixture. Folk are probably going, "woah woah woah, don't you always scrape the baking bowl like every greedy baker?" Yup, I do. I'm aware I contradict myself as I could still get salmonella from a small amount of raw egg mixture, but in my head it seems more acceptable and less risky.

The cookie dough chunks actually taste similar to those found in Ben 'n' Jerry's ice-cream which is great and the ice-cream itself is super chocolatey, rich and almost mousse-like when it softens. My only complaint is that it tastes a little bit powdery so the amount of cocoa powder in the recipe could be reduced. Perhaps I would add more Nutella too. After all, when is adding more Nutella ever a bad thing?

I don't think this beats proper ice-cream, but for something quick, chocolatey and cheat-y this is very satisfying. It doesn't crystalise either which is great, although it is a beast to get out of the freezer tub!
(Note to self: invest in a proper ice-cream scoop.)
Nutella chocolate chip cookie dough no churn ice-cream
Recipe is a combination of BBC Good Food (via What Kate Baked) and The Noshing Bride
cookie dough:
1/2 cup packed brown sugar (I used light muscovado)
2 tbsp softened (slightly salted) butter
few drops of vanilla extract
1 1/2tbsp milk
1/3 cup plain flour
1/4 cup milk chocolate chips
Combine the butter and sugar and mix for about a minute. Stir in the vanilla, milk and flour before adding the chocolate chips. (I actually wanted a slightly stiffer mixture so I added more flour.) Clingfilm and set in the fridge for half an hour to firm up.
ice-cream:
1/2 a 397g can of sweetened condensed milk
600ml double cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp cocoa powder
1/4 cup nutella spread
(any remaining chocolate chips!)
Whisk the cream until a thick consistency similar to clotted cream. In a separate bowl combine all the other ingredients (except the chocolate chips) before mixing into the cream. Stir in the chocolate chips and scrape the mixture into a freezer container/loaf tin and cover with a lid or clingfilm. Freeze until solid. I left mine in overnight.
