Healthy Cookies and Cream Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 24oz (3 cups) Plain, Nonfat Greek Yogurt
- one 13.5oz can Light Coconut Milk
- 192g (¾ cup) Homemade Oreo Cookie Butter
- 1½ tsp Vanilla Creme-Flavored Stevia Extract
- ¾ tsp Xanthan Gum
- ⅛ tsp Salt
Instructions
- Freeze your ice cream maker bowl for 24+ hours (I used my KitchenAid ice cream maker attachment).
- In a large blender, add the yogurt, coconut milk, cookie butter, and stevia extract. Blend until completely smooth.
- While blending, slowly add in the xanthan gum, then add the salt. Puree until fully incorporated.
- Churn the ice cream according to your ice cream makers' instructions. Scoop the ice cream into a freezer-proof container, cover, and freeze until it's the texture you prefer. If frozen solid, the best method to thaw is to place the ice cream in the fridge for a few hours (this way, the entire ice cream is scoopable, unlike thawing the ice cream on the counter, where only the edges will be scoopable).
- Scoop, serve, and enjoy!
YASSSS! Only 210 calories and 5g of (naturally occurring, no added) sugar per cup! Plus, 14g of protein, healthy fats, and a bit of fiber too.
Compared to 1 cup of the storebought version, 1 cup of this Healthy Cookies ‘n’ Cream Ice Cream has:
- 50 less calories
- 23g less sugar
- 10g more protein
- Absolutely NO high-fructose corn syrup, white sugar, white flour, palm oil, or artificial flavors
Um, yes, I’ll take a second serving, thank you very much.
Enjoy!

Everything looks so delicious. Congratulations on all that you are doing, I wish you continued success.
Unfortunately, erithyol does not agree with my digestive system. Can’t eat anything that has it, not even ice cream or cookies.
I can do stevia though, maybe you have some recipes that only use stevia ?
By the way, if there is any way possible, I would protect that Oreo cookie butter receipe to ensure that no one else tries to claim it as their own, if you haven’t already done so.
I have a lot of recipes that use purely stevia. Just scan through my Recipes page, but my favorite recipe has gotta be the Healthy Cheesecake Dip 🙂
I will be saving this pin and use it once I’ve got an ice cream maker!
