Cookie Commandough is Be Free's cookie dough ice cream. It starts with vanilla bean ice cream and adds three mix-ins: cookie dough chunks, molten chocolate cookie butter, and dark chocolate chips. It comes in a 16 oz pint, and you can pick one up today at the Be Free Cafe in Virginia Beach.
What is in Cookie Commandough?
The Cookie Commandough flavor page lists four parts:
- →Vanilla bean ice cream as the base
- →Cookie dough chunks
- →Molten chocolate cookie butter
- →Dark chocolate chips
That makes it a pint with a lot going on in each spoonful: a smooth vanilla bean base, soft pieces of dough, a rich chocolate cookie butter, and the snap of dark chocolate.
How it compares with classic cookie dough ice cream
Classic chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream pairs a vanilla base with pieces of cookie dough and chocolate chips. Cookie Commandough keeps that familiar trio of vanilla bean, cookie dough, and dark chocolate, then adds molten chocolate cookie butter. If you already love cookie dough ice cream, think of it as the version with an extra layer of chocolate and cookie flavor.
How Be Free makes it
Like every Be Free flavor, Cookie Commandough is made Philadelphia style, with no egg base, and churned with low overrun, which means less air is whipped in. The result is a denser, creamier scoop. Read What Is Philadelphia-Style Ice Cream? for more on that style. All seven Be Free pint flavors, including this one, are KOF-K kosher certified.
If cookie butter is what you are after
Chocolate cookie butter also appears in Milli Mint Cookie Chip, where it is a swirl in spearmint and peppermint ice cream with dark chocolate chunks. Choose Cookie Commandough when you want vanilla bean and cookie dough, and Milli Mint Cookie Chip when you want mint. The seven-flavor guide compares the rest of the lineup.
Simple ways to serve it
- →Serve a plain scoop first. The pint already has three mix-ins, so taste it before adding anything.
- →Set it out at a sundae bar at home and keep toppings light so the cookie dough and cookie butter stay front and center.
- →Scoop it beside a warm brownie or a plain cookie for a warm-and-cold dessert.
These are ideas for your own kitchen, not cafe menu items. Return the pint to the freezer once you have scooped.
Check the label before serving guests
Cookie Commandough is a dairy ice cream, like the whole Be Free pint lineup. It is not dairy-free or vegan. Cookie dough and cookie butter are part of the recipe, so read the current package label for complete ingredient, allergen, and cross-contact information before you serve it. If you need a non-dairy option, see Are Be Free Pints Dairy-Free?
