The last time I wrote about Prairie Farms I was using their cream cheese to make Jalapeño Popper Corn Dogs. Well, it turns out that in addition to cream cheese they make some pretty amazing ice cream as well.
The most recent addition to their lineup is their Premium Small Batch Ice Cream. It’s made with local milk and cream that comes from farmers who don’t use any artificial growth hormones and it’s available in 25 flavors — everything from Cinnamon Bun to Peanut Butter & Banana to Lemon Raspberry Cheesecake. They’ve also got the classics like Vanilla and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough as well.
I’ve tried two different flavors so far — Mint Chocolate Chip and Pineapple Upside Down Cake — and they were both delicious so I’m psyched to check out as many of the 23 others as I can. Do you know what makes their ice cream even better though? When you’re eating it out of chocolate chip cookie bowls!
I used a Bake-a-Bowl Pan to make my chocolate chip cookie bowls, but if you don’t want to invest $9.99 in one of those you could also form your cookie dough around an upside down muffin tin and bake your cookie bowls that way. They probably just won’t end up quite so perfectly shaped if you go that route….
I’ve included my chocolate chip cookie dough recipe below, but if you have a go-to recipe that you prefer you could always use that one instead. Or, if you want to make things super easy you could always just buy some pre-made cookie dough from the grocery store.
