Snickerdoodle Ice Cream

If you love Snickerdoodles, but the weather is screaming for ice cream rather than cookies, have no fear. Snickerdoodle Ice Cream tastes like your favorite snickerdoodle cookies, but it’s cool and creamy in ice cream form.

Warning: highly addictive.

Snickerdoodle Ice Cream 4

One my favorite cookies are these chewy cinnamon-sugar snickerdoodle cookies.

Anything cinnamon-sugar catches my attention.  Cinnamon sugar streusel over a French Toast Casserole. Churros, the quintessential carnival and Costco snack. Cinnamon sugar loaded coffee cake.  Cinnamon sugar topped bakery-style blueberry muffins.  And don’t forget pure Snickerdoodle Bread.

You catch my drift.  We love our snickerdoodle-y goodies around here.

Ice cream season is in full swing, and we’ve been hitting favorite ice cream shops as well as making our own favorites, like this Cookies ‘n Cream  creamy goodness.

But I’ve yet to find Snickerdoodle Ice Cream anywhere.

My sweet friend Melissa made this creamy snickerdoodle ice cream last holiday season, and it only took one bite for me to be completely smitten.

Snickerdoodle ice cream.  Seriously?  More, please.

After about three servings (they were small) I knew I had to go home and make a huge batch full of this dreamy ice cream loaded with brown sugar and cinnamon.

Suffice it to say I’ve made more than one batch of this luscious snickerdoodle ice cream by now.

One of the reasons I adore homemade ice cream is that you know exactly what is going into your ice cream. Nothing artificial, no chemicals, no food coloring.  Just pure and simple creamy goodness.

This particular snickerdoodle ice cream consists of just 6 ingredients.  It’s egg free, so no hassling with tempering of eggs.  The result is unbelievably delish and creamy, even without the eggs.

Here’s to a summer full of sunny days, kickin’ it in the breeze, running through the sprinklers, and eating loads of ice cream before it melts.

Enjoy!

    My husband is obsessed with the snickerdoodle cookie dough blizzard at DQ. So he was heart broken last weekend when we went to get one and they said it was seasonal and not available anymore. I’m going to try your recipe and and in some cookie dough chunks and see if that satisfies that craving for him!

      • chewoutloud

      So excited for you guys to taste this, Lindsey! 🙂

    • KidBaker

    is it possible to make without ice cream maker?

    • Aibreàn

    Hello. I just came across this recipe and would live to give it a try except for two things. Can this be made without an ice cream maker as I don’t have one and secondly would coconut whipped cream work instead. Thank you.

    • Mae

    I made this four times in the last week. The first two exactly as the recipe calls. Someone commented that the vanilla extract would make the ice cream not freeze. I sort of had that problem. I got it to soft-serve consistency, which I have no problems with. The last two times I made it I used a vanilla bean paste which seems to work much better. I also crushed up some store bought shortbread cookies and sprinkled them in the ice cream maker in the last minute. You can’t even imagine how awesome it is. Like awesome enough that I might sell it at my daughter’s lemonade stand this summer. In summary, Great recipe, maybe switch to vanilla bean or vanilla bean paste.

      • chewoutloud

      Yum, that sounds delish, Mae! So glad you guys enjoyed 🙂 Thanks for coming over today!

    • Mattie

    I was concerned when I saw how much vanilla extract was in this recipe, since the alcohol in extracts can make it so the mixture won’t freeze, but it sounded so good I decided to try it!

    As expected, I could not get it to set up no matter how long it churned. It was as runny after 45 minutes as it was when I began. I’ll have to try again without the vanilla or maybe using some vanilla beans, because the mixture tasted delicious!

      • chewoutloud

      So strange – sorry that happened. Were all your ingredients very cold to start with, and the ice cream maker bowl solidly frozen, straight from the freezer? The only time I’ve had an issue with any homemade ice cream was when my all materials weren’t solidly chilled. Also, be sure to turn your churner to “on” prior to pouring any ingredients in (manufacturer’s instructions.) If you pour any ingredients in the maker prior to turning it “on,” it won’t set up right. Happy to hear the mixture tasted delicious, and that you’re gonna give it another go! 🙂 Thanks for being here today, Mattie! 🙂

  • This pork tenderloin turns out tender, succulent and healthy! 😍 It's delicious enough to make for dinner parties and simple enough for a weeknight dish! This recipe is a must try! 🤩🥔 Ingredients 2 lbs boneless pork tenderloins 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil 4–6 Tablespoons high-quality balsamic vinegar* 2–3 heaping Tablespoons pure honey 1 whole head garlic, peeled and minced 1/2 cup onion, minced 1/4 cup fresh rosemary leaves, minced 2 tsp kosher salt 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper 2 lbs baby potatoes, roughly diced (about 2/3-inch diameter) 1 lb baby carrots, cut into 1/4-inch thick pieces Instructions Prepare: Preheat oven to 350F with rack on lower middle position. Line a large baking pan with foil and generously grease foil. Use paper towels to pat-dry all excess moisture from the pork tenderloins; place tenderloins in center of greased-foiled pan and set aside. Combine: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, onion, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Use a whisk to combine well to form the marinade. Reserve 1/3 cup of the marinade in separate small bowl. Add potatoes and carrots to the marinade in large bowl and toss to combine well. Season: Evenly drizzle the reserved 1/3 cup marinade over the pork, ensuring all sides are coated. Place potato/carrot mixture evenly around the pork tenderloins, ensuring that all marinade is evenly dispersed. Cook: Roast in oven 45-50 minutes, OR until pork reaches internal temp of 145F when tested in the thickest center portion, using steel probe meat thermometer. The correct thermometer allows you to monitor the rising temperature without disturbing the roast. (Note: actual cook time will vary according to oven. If pork is done before veggies, carefully use tongs to transfer pork to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm at room temp.) Rest and Slice: always allow roasts to rest at room temp at least 5-10 minutes before slicing. The temp will continue to rise during resting; juices will re-disperse throughout the roast during rest period. Slice pork and drizzle with any pan sauces that remain. Serve with potatoes and carrots.
  • This marinated Ahi Tuna is bursting with fresh flavor! As a bonus its a healthy dish the whole family will love! 😋 Save this post! Recipe is below⬇️ Ingredients 2 TB regular strength soy sauce 2 TB freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 TB Asian toasted sesame oil (found in the Asian aisle) 2 tsp garlic powder 2 tsp granulated sugar 1 tsp kosher salt 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper 2 to 21/2 lbs fresh ahi tuna steaks, about 1 1/2-1 2/3 inches thick oil for cooking Optional: freshly chopped cilantro, green scallions, sesame seeds for garnish. Optional: Sriracha mayo for drizzling (really good!) Instructions Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the first 7 ingredients to make a marinade. Towel dry tuna steaks and place in a glass or ceramic dish. Pour marinade over the fish, turning to coat well throughout. Cover tightly and chill several hours to overnight; turn fish over at least once in the middle of marinade time. Sear: Heat 3 TB oil in a large heavy skillet (aluminum or stainless steel; not nonstick) until oil is smoking. Sear ahi steaks 1 1/2 minutes per side on high heat, taking care to flip carefully with a flat, steel spatula. (If your tuna is less than 1 1/2 inches thick, sear for only 1 minute per side.) Rest/Cool: Transfer seared ahi to a large cutting board and let rest/cool 10 minutes. Use a very sharp (serrated works well) knife to slice thinly across the grain. Serve: Serve chilled or at room temp, over your favorite salad greens or crispy Asian salad. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and cilantro or green onions, if desired. Drizzle with Sriracha mayo if desired. #makeitdelicious #scrumptiouskitchen #bhgcelebrate #onthetable #dailyfoodpic #homemade #hereismyfood #whatsonmyplate #getinmybelly #foodblogfeed #lovefood #igfoodies #instafood #instayum #easyrecipes #foodblogeats #imsomartha #mywilliamsonoma #abmfoodie #whatweeat #makemore #f52grams #f52community #tohfoodie #eatsharerepeat #foodblogeats

  • Using a simple sheet pan you can make deliciously quick and easy baked Salmon in only 15 minutes! This salmon is the perfect weeknight dinner recipe! 😍🤩 Save this post! Recipe is below⬇️ Ingredients: 2-lb salmon fillet, about 1-inch thick Zest of 1 large lemon Juice of half of the lemon 2 TB freshly chopped basil leaves 1 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp coarse kosher salt 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper 2 TB extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for pan Instructions: Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 375F with rack on lower middle position. Line a large sheet pan with foil and grease the foil with some olive oil. Set aside. Remove Moisture: Use paper towels to pat-dry the salmon fillet, ensuring that all excess moisture is removed (this step is important, as excess water/moisture causes fish to be “steamed” instead.) Place salmon on the prepared sheet pan. Mix Seasonings: In a small bowl, stir together all remaining ingredients until combined. Evenly press the mixture over the top of salmon. Bake: Bake salmon for 10 minutes in preheated oven. Carefully but quickly take salmon out, move rack to top position underneath the broiler, and place salmon tray back on rack. Broil: Broil on high for up to 5 minutes or until top is nicely browned, but watch carefully for even browning without burning. Remove from heat immediately. Serve with extra slices of lemon #recipeoftheday #americastestkitchen #buzzfeedfood #cooksillustrated #feedfeedathome #huffposttaste #todayfood #food52grams #onthetable #shareyourtable #foodgawker #bareaders #foodblogfeed #droolclub #whatweeat #newrecipe #inmykitchen #easyrecipe #instaeats #makemore #foodblogeats #vscofood #nytcooking
