A peanut butter cookie dough ice cream base loaded with bits of frozen monster cookie dough is a match made in heaven. Your taste buds will be screaming for more ice cream!
Be prepared for this homemade monster cookie ice cream to become your new favorite. There is peanut butter and brown sugar mixed into the base to start things off right.
Then it is studded with bits of monster cookie dough with all of the chocolate and oatmeal goodness you would expect. The combination is fabulous!
If you are a fan of monster cookies and ice cream, this is for you. It is the best of both worlds mixed together in scoopable perfection.
Mimi originally shared her monster cookie ice cream with us back in 2016. I recently made some monster cookie dip for a family gathering and my husband and sister-in-law decided that would be good mixed in ice cream.

So it seemed like a perfect time to dust off this recipe and make a batch. Mimi’s original recipe included cooking some oatmeal and using that in the base.
It did add great body and turned out delicious. I wasn’t in the mood for that, however, so I stirred in some peanut butter for body instead.
It was amazing if I do say so myself! (My husband and sister-in-law agreed!)
I hope you give it a try to see for yourself!
