Cookie Butter Cookie Ice Cream
 
Ingredients
  • 2 cups half and half
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 sticks cinnamon
  • 5-6 whole cloves
  • ⅔ cup cookie butter (I like the smooth kind for this)
  • ½ of a 10oz package Trader Joe's cookie butter sandwich cookies, broken up into various sized pieces
Instructions
  1. Combine half and half, whipping cream, sugar, cinnamon stick, and cloves in a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Bring the mixture just barely to a simmer; don't let it boil. Once you see a bubble hit the surface like it is about to boil, remove from the heat. Transfer mixture into a container with a tight lid and refrigerate overnight for the flavors to meld.
  2. Strain the mixture, then freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions. Once the ice cream is about soft serve consistency, stop ice cream maker. Fold in cookie pieces. Drop cookie butter by spoonfuls onto the surface of the ice cream, then gently swirl throughout. Transfer to a lidded container and freeze until hardened, at least 1 hour.
