Monster Cookie Ice Cream – Barefeet in the Kitchen

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 wanting just one more bite every time you make it.

“I had Monster Cookies” should probably be written down somewhere as my brother Carl’s catchphrase. For as long as I can remember, monster cookies have been his thing.

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

Monster Cookie Ice Cream has gotten “best ice cream ever” comments from family every time I’ve made it. This is the latest in our series of Cookie Monster inspired desserts and it just might be the biggest yet.

There are a few things to note before you make this ice cream. First, I recommend skipping the M&M’s on top of the cookies when you bake them. I’m not a big fan of candies when they’re frozen whole into the ice cream.

Instead, roughly chop a handful of M&M’s to sprinkle into the ice cream or purchase mini M&M’s to use. All the classic cookie monster flavors will be there without any hard candy to deal with in the mix.

Second, don’t give up the peanut butter sauce. It adds a whole new depth of flavor to ice cream that is truly unforgettable.

When poured into the ice cream, the peanut butter mixture will solidify and harden into something similar to a magic shell. The shell it creates will melt smoothly when you bite into it, creating peanut butter chunks with the perfect chewy bite.

I highly recommend setting aside some extra peanut butter sauce to pour over the top of each bowl as well. You won’t regret it.

Monster Cookie Ice Cream Ingredients

The peanut butter sauce in this ice cream is an optional ingredient. I made the ice cream both with and without the sauce. It’s great just with the cookies if you don’t want to overpower the peanut butter flavor.

Monster cookie recipes

I’m not going to name names here <שיעול> Augusta <שיעול>but a certain friend and I have a history that includes eating almost the entire batch of monster cookie dough at certain times in the past.

Of all the cookies I make, this cookie dough tempts me the most. This longing led to the creation of a monstrous cookie dough bite. Eaten with a spoon or rolled into bite-sized balls, this is a sweet snack that everyone enjoys.

Don’t have time to scoop and bake cookie trays? Make a batch of Monster Cookie Snacks instead. The bars are getting closer to beating the cookies, friends. Slightly more runny than the cookies while still crispy on top and bottom, these are some of the best bar cookies I’ve ever tasted.

Monster Cookie Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars are the ultimate combination of my grandma’s monster cookie bars turned into Monster Cookie Bars, married to these Cheesecake Cookie Bars.
