Sundae Shoppe Cookie Dough Ice Cream
Sundae Shoppe Cookie Dough Ice Cream is a fan-favorite flavor that combines a smooth, buttery vanilla base with chunks of sweet, unbaked cookie dough and bittersweet chocolate chips. It is designed to provide a rich, multi-textured experience that replicates the flavor of homemade cookies.
Core Ingredients
The signature profile of this dessert is built on a high-fat dairy base and carefully formulated inclusions:
-
Vanilla-Butter Ice Cream Base: Made from a blend of skim milk and cream, often flavored with a hint of brown sugar or molasses to complement the cookie dough.
-
Cookie Dough Chunks: These pieces are made from wheat flour, sugar, margarine or butter, and chocolate chips. They are specially formulated to remain soft and chewy at freezing temperatures.
-
Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: Small, crisp chocolate flakes or chips are often folded into the base separately to add a distinct "snap" against the soft dough.
-
Stabilizers: Includes guar gum and carob bean gum to maintain a smooth, creamy texture and prevent ice crystal formation during storage.
Energy & Nutritional Profile
Because of the inclusion of flour-based dough and additional fats, a standard 2/3 cup serving (approx. 100g) provides a substantial energy yield:

Key Characteristics
-
Textural Complexity: Features three distinct textures: the silky melt of the ice cream, the dense chewiness of the dough, and the firm crunch of the chocolate chips.
-
Flavor Depth: The use of brown sugar and salt in the cookie dough chunks provides a savory contrast to the sweet vanilla cream.
-
High Density: Cookie dough flavors are generally "heavy" ice creams due to the weight of the inclusions, offering a more filling dessert option.
