    Ingredients

    ingredients for cookie dough frozen yogurt.

    Yogurt. I used dairy free but you can use any yogurt. If you use Greek yogurt, taste test - you might need to add more sweetener to offset the sour flavor.

    Peanut butter. I also use cashew butter or almond butter when I want a less-peanut flavor. You can also use sunflower seed butter for a nut free protein ice cream option.

    Maple syrup. This is easy but if you want to go the extra step and make date paste, those will reduce any ice texture from long term freezing.

    Edible cookie dough bites. I give you my 4-ingredient no bake recipe below, but you can also just crumble your favorite cookies.

    See the recipe card at the bottom for full information on ingredients and quantities.

    Step by Step Instructions

    For more detail, visit the complete and printable recipe at the bottom of this post, but here are general steps.

    Prep: Start by making the homemade frozen cookie dough bits.

    #1 Make Homemade Cookie Dough Chips

    Step 1: Mix in a bowl some almond flour, peanut butter, maple syrup, and mini chocolate chips. (recipe in card below)

    Step 2: Press into pan to about ½ inch deep and freeze, covered with foil for about 1 hour.

    Step 3: Once frozen, chop into tiny squares and store in a bag in the freezer ready to be added to these frozen yogurt bars or to add to ice cream, or even to add to drinks such as my Starbuck's caramel ribbon crunch frappuccino.

    #2 Make Protein Frozen Yogurt Ice Cream

    ingredients for frozen yogurt in a blender.

    Step 1: Add all ingredients to a blender.

    blended frozen yogurt in a blender.

    Step 2: Blend into a creamy liquid.

    Step 3: Pour into a metal pan, loaf pan, or ice cream container. Dot with cookie dough chunks and freeze for at least 2 hours to scoop.

    Step 4: Then scoop and enjoy!

    Storage

    Store this frozen yogurt ice cream in the freezer for up to a month in an airtight or covered container. Or divide the ice cream into individual containers for single serve options.

    When ready, let it thaw on the countertop for about 20 minutes or microwave for 1 minute, then scoop and enjoy.

    Recipe Tips

    1. Freeze about 2 hours in order to achieve a scooping texture straight from the blender. Freezing the ice cream overnight will make it brick hard so freeze like that in single serve portions so you can microwave for 30 seconds to thaw.
    2. Use almond butter or cashew butter if you don't want a peanut flavor to your ice cream.
    3. To use dates instead of maple syrup, use a ratio of 1 date per 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. Be sure to soak, pit and blend them with a bit of water before adding to your protein ice cream mixture.
    4. Yes you can use an ice cream maker - just chill your ice cream tub overnight and chill the blended mixture for 20 minutes before pouring it into your ice cream maker. I use this ice cream maker machine, it's budget friendly and works great.
