Coffee and cookies are a match made in heaven, but add in chocolate it’s a party in your mouth. Now turn it into an ice cream and join in me in the bliss.
Pin me!At the beginning of the summer I got an ice cream machine, as I wanted to start making my own low fat ice creams. Boy did that backfire on me! This mocha ice cream with cookie dough is one of those things your waistline will hate you for, but I promise you it’s worth it!
I didn’t get a fancy machine, as I wasn’t an expert. I just ordered the cheapest one on Amazon, it’s not fancy but it does the job.
A few things to note for this recipe.
Use good quality instant coffee! Believe me, it makes a difference, and don’t just chuck in ground beans because that’s way too strong. I use Nescafé Azera espresso powder, however I have used the Americano powder in previous versions and it did not disappoint.
Same goes for the chocolate, you will need good quality ones. As per usual I’m using Dr Oatker chocolate, and for the powder I went for Cadbury’s.
The cookie dough is totally optional, in fact without cookie dough, this ice cream is the perfect rich topping for my caramel brownies. I use egg free cookie dough, however in the UK as long as the eggs have the red lion stamp, they are safe to eat without cooking.

The recipe has a lot of steps however it’s quite simple and completely worth the time. I promise!
