Have I mentioned before that I am I still friends with my high school buddies? And have I mentioned that they are awesome? Like when they go out of town they bring me back gifts kind of awesome. They recently went out of town for a 5k and brought me back a jar of cookie butter and cocoa swirl spread [affiliate link]. [I think I got the better end of the deal.] Have I mentioned before that my friends kind of spoil me? They do. So I spoil them right back and make things like this chocolate cookie butter ice cream. Because that’s what friends are for, right?
My high school friends and I have been hanging out for over 10 years. [We had our 10 year high school reunion last May.] Crazy to think that that much time has passed! We played softball together, had classes together, went to college together. We have been through a lot together in the past 10 plus years. Now we all married and have kids and still hang out.
The first time I tried the original cookie butter was on a road trip with my friends. [They have names by the way, I don’t call them “friends” to their faces. Ok maybe I do.] We stopped in to a Trader Joe’s and I bee-lined for the cookie butter section. [We don’t have Trader Joe’s down here. Or Ikeas. Don’t even get me started.] I grabbed a jar of each and a few other things that I had to have. [Hello pistachio bark!]
I opened a jar up in the car and swiped a finger full of the cookie butter. One bite and I was hooked! I had to put the jar on the other side of the car so I wouldn’t eat the whole dang thing. It’s that good. So when I was gifted a jar of the cookie and cocoa swirl, I was in heaven! [Cookie butter heaven!] After much thought and many fingers/spoons in the jar, I decided to whip up an ice cream. And it was good. SO good! Like, I may need another jar kind of good. But that’s what good friends are for, right? Trader Joe’s road trips!

Haha, I guess great minds think alike–I posted about strawberry ice cream this morning! Have a great Tuesday!
Kelley says
Lol! Thats awesome! Ice cream lover unite! 🙂
Jennifer @Making Our Life Matter says
This looks super delicious. With it finally warming up, my brain is definitely starting to crave ice cream. Trouble is, I don’t have an ice cream maker. Is there an alternative?
Kelley says
Hey Jennifer! You can probably cover it, freeze it and scoop it out in the morning. I haven’t tried it that way, but I’m sure it would work fine. 🙂
Amy | Club Narwhal says
Kelley, I’m so jealous you still hang out with your HS buddies! Isn’t is so fun to be friends with people who have known you for so long? Like, you don’t have to explain any of your history/crazy family/etc. because they already know? And this ice cream looks like the bees knees! Cookie butter forever 🙂
Kelley says
Yes! That’s exactly why I love my HS friends! They already know and accept me for my odd self! haha. And thanks Amy! Agreed with the cookie butter forever!
Elizabeth @ Confessions of a Baking Queen says

Kelley says
Thanks Ang! And yea.. it was pretty amazing 😉
Crystal says
I so need to get an ice cream maker. The ice cream looks amazing!! Yummy!!
Kelley says
If you don’t have one, I’m pretty sure you can simply freeze it, cover it and scoop it out in the morning. The ice cream maker just helps speed things along 🙂
Lisa @ Cooking with Curls says
I have never seen cookie butter with cocoa spread! Now I will be on a quest to find it so I can make delicious ice cream as well!!
Kelley says
I hadn’t seen it either! My friends gifted it to me.. and omg. SO GOOD! Hope you can find it too Lisa! 🙂

Never made my own ice cream, but this looks so delicious, I am thinking I need to find my ice cream maker and get down to business!

Yes! Homemade ice cream is the best! (And so simple too!) I hope you bust it out and give it a go 🙂
