This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.


It's the perfect combination of two classic desserts - cookies and ice cream. Sweet bits of chocolate chip cookie dough are nestled in creamy vanilla ice cream.


2 cups milk
1 3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups half-and-half
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 cups whipping cream
1 refrigerated roll chocolate chip cookie dough, at room temperature
Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium-high heat until it reaches 180 degrees F (scalding). Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the sugar and salt and mix until dissolved.
Add the half-and-half, vanilla, and whipping cream to the milk. Mix well then cover the pan and chill for 30 minutes.
Add the milk mixture to the canister of an ice cream machine. Process as recommended by the machine manufacturer for soft-serve ice cream.
Break the softened cookie dough into small bits and stir into the soft-serve ice cream. Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze for 2-3 hours or until firm.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

My only issue with this recipe is the cookie dough. Standard issue refrigerated cookie dough contains large chocolate chips (regular size, that is). When you're eating this ice cream the chocolate chips are frozen solid and really make it difficult to eat. My suggestion is to find cookie dough that uses miniature chips or maybe even the chocolate chunk kind (assuming they are smaller than the regular-sized chips). Or even better, make your own cookie dough! The flavor was great and even the cookie dough tasted good, it was just hard on the teeth!
