Fresh Strawberries and cookie dough candy bits come together to make this creamy, dreamy Strawberry Cookie Dough ice cream.
Homemade Fresh strawberry ice cream is the best! Rich and creamy…bursting with fresh strawberry flavor. Add the cookie candy bits; (a bit naughty to be sure…) and experience the frozen bits of cookie dough crunchyness in the cold, fresh strawberry cream. Now you’re making this into another ice cream entirely with the addition of only one ingredient!
This recipe came from a trip to the store with the grandkids. They chose some candy to try in ice creams. This one is perfect with strawberry! Recently I made a batch of lemon lime Strawberry drink for floats. We tried it with this ice cream and it’s a perfect flavor match. The grandkids loved these floats!
In a cone or in a bowl this ice cream is a whiz bang treat. Try it as a sundae with chocolate sauce and graham cracker crumbs!
Making homemade ice cream is fairly new around here. We try to keep it under control so our waistlines don’t expand. Fortunately I take care of three hungry, active girls every day and they love ice cream too! They enjoy helping me make the ice cream and then they have to wait for it to set up in the freezer from soft serve, to ice cream cone hard.
So they get busy playing outside mostly. Lots of room to run around here and play. On the tire swing, in the kiddie pool ,or they have adventures in the tall grass in the fields. Even a big ole bing cherry tree just right for climbing and currently full of ripe bing cherries!
After all that; a nice homemade ice cream treat is a perfect way to slow down a bit. Their patience is richly rewarded.

I love the idea and looks so easy to do!
Yes it is really easy Katerina. I’m pretty sure your family would devour this!
Oh boy doesn’t this look delicious! So much better tasting than store purchased I’m sure!
Right you are Sandra! This is SO much better than store bought!
My kids would die if I made them this – we don’t do a lot of desserts, much to their chagrin. 😉 It looks and sounds divine.
Thank you Michelle. Your kids would love this but your smart to limit the goodies!
Your grandkids have some great ideas because this looks delicious!! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Sara!
Yum, this sound amazing, I wish I had a cone full of it right now!
Thank you Joy. This is a tasty treat!
I wish that I was close by. I would LOVE to swing on the tire swing and eat fresh cherries off the tree! Then, I would devour your gorgeous ice cream!
Betsy I would so enjoy your visit here. That tire swing has your name on it! The ice cream is waiting too!:)
Yummmm! This looks perfect for this time of year. I’m thinking right now of how I can make my own strawberry ice cream, and throw in a low carb twist! Yummmmm!
I’m looking into the more nutritious options too Marjorie. I gotta say I’m thoroughly enjoying making the real ice cream right now though. It’s so rich and creamy. Ricotta cheese, coconut milk, and substitutes for sugar are on my list of explores for improving the nutrition and portion control. Let me know what you come up with!
Oh, the float looks fabulous! I’m thinking it’s probably a good thing I don’t have an ice cream maker, hahaha.
They are a dangerous toy Lydia! I’m getting busy outside to burn off the extra calories and looking into options for a healthier frozen treat I can make with my ice cream maker!
Delicious strawberry ice cream. Love it, thanks for sharing with Hearth and soul blog hop pinning and featuring on this week’s hop.
