The Tonight Dough Remake!

Continuing our Ben & Jerry’s Remake series, we have The Tonight Dough!
This ice cream is made with caramel and chocolate ice creams, chocolate cookie pieces, cookie dough chunks and peanut butter cookie dough chunks!

• 

The name of this pint is to honor Jimmy Fallon! But this isn’t his first Ben & Jerry’s feature! Jimmy had his first B&J pint called “Late Night Snack” that features chocolate covered potato chips as a play on a salty and sweet snack! Once Jimmy left the Late Night show, Ben & Jerry’s discounted the flavor and introduced The Tonight Dough to celebrate Jimmy’s new show, The Tonight Show!

This homemade version uses my FAVORITE chocolate cookie recipe that makes an appearance in a few other recipes too. I truly don’t believe I’ll ever get sick of this cookie. How could I?

The caramel ice cream recipe is from the ice cream bible itself, The Perfect Scoop. All other recipes are straight from the Ben & Jerry’s recipe book to get us as close to the authentic B&J flavors as possible!
