Cookie Monster Ice Cream – Barefeet in the Kitchen

Creamy cookie monster ice cream filled with chunks of Oreo and chocolate chip cookies is a hit with all cookie-loving kids and adults!

Blue Cookie Monster Ice Cream

What is cookie monster ice cream? Sweet vanilla ice cream is absolutely loaded with cookie chunks to create this ice cream. It’s cookie monster’s version of cookies and cream ice cream and it has been a win with everyone who tries it.

Not a fan of food dyes? Just skip the blue coloring. The ice cream tastes every bit as delicious with or without it.

I highly recommend serving this ice cream in cones, preferably Oreo or chocolate chip cookie ice cream cones if you can find them in the grocery store, for the ultimate cookie monster ice cream flavor!

Cookie Monster Ice Cream Recipe

Whisk together the cream, milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla. Add blue food coloring and adjust the color, as desired. Whisk again to combine.

Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer’s directions. While the ice cream is churning, chop each cookie into 4 pieces.

Scatter 1 cup of cookie pieces in the bottom of a freezer-safe container. When the ice cream has finished churning, scoop half the ice cream over the cookies in the container, sprinkle the ice cream with 1 cup of cookie pieces.

Spread the remaining ice cream across the container and top with the remaining cup of cookie pieces. Freeze until firm.

These are my favorite inexpensive containers for storing ice cream. They’re perfect for gifting (who doesn’t love homemade ice cream?) storage, re-using, etc. I write the flavors on the lids with a sharpie and it washes off with dish soap.

I have more ice cream scoops than I can keep track of at this point and I definitely play favorites. This ice cream scoop does the best job ever of cutting through firm ice cream and still delivers a pretty scoop. It gets bonus points for being one of the least expensive scoops I own as well.

Monster Cookie Ice Cream

“You had me at Monster Cookies” should probably be written somewhere as my brother Karl’s catchphrase. For as long as I can remember, Monster Cookies have been his thing.

Chewy and crisp, the best monster cookies are loaded with our favorite cookie flavors. Does anyone not have this cookie recipe from their grandmother?

And doesn’t everyone think their recipe is the best? Oats, peanut butter, chocolate chips, M&Ms, and a drop of maple syrup all combine to make classic Monster Cookies.

These Monster Cookie Bars have all the peanut buttery, chocolatey, chewy goodness of the traditional cookie, only in super easy bar form. 

My grandmother’s recipe has been passed down and adapted and remade endlessly into new monster cookie desserts for our family.

Swirled with chunks of peanut butter and loaded with cookies, Monster Cookie Ice Cream is a perfect balance of salty-sweet. It will leave you craving just one more bite every time you make it.

Bite-size chunks of Monster Cookie dough are more irresistible than ever when tucked into the Best Ever Cookie Dough Ice Cream.
