Instructions

Make the Ice Cream Mixture

Pour the unsweetened almond milk, cottage cheese, protein powder, sugar substitute, vanilla bean paste, and gaur gum into a small blender and blend until all ingredients are fully combined. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container.
Freeze on a level surface for 24 hours. Your freezer should be between 9 and -7 degrees Fahrenheit. To avoid getting a bump on the top of the frozen mixture, freeze with the lid off of the container.

Process the Ice Cream

After 24 hours, remove the pint container from the freezer.
Place the pint container into the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami and then process on "LITE ICE CREAM."
If the ice cream is dry or crumbly looking, pour in a tablespoon or two of unsweetened almond milk and then re-spin. If the ice cream looks like little balls of ice cream (like dippin dots) respin without adding any liquid. You may have to repeat this process a couple of times.
Dig a well down the center of the ice cream and pour in the chopped chocolate chip cookie dough pieces. Process on mix-ins.
Remove the pint from the machine and enjoy!

Notes

Can you use premade cookies in this recipe instead of using raw cookie dough?

You can. However, the taste and texture will be much different than if you were to use the raw cookie dough. The cookie dough adds sweetness and a sugary texture to the ice cream. If you use regular cookies, the texture will be a bit grainy from the cookie crumbles, and it will not be quite as sweet as the cookie dough tastes a bit sweeter than baked cookies do.

What do you do with leftover cookie dough ice cream?

I would not recommend re-processing cookie dough ice cream as the cookie dough pieces will get completely combined with ice cream base. All of the little chunks of cookie dough will get ground up and will create a cookie dough flavored ice cream, but there won't be any cookie dough chunks. Instead of reprocessing the leftovers, allow the container to sit on the counter, microwave it, or run it under warm water until the ice cream is soft enough to eat.
