So I’ve been hoarding some Girl Scout Lemonades Cookies. My husband tried to break into the box of cookies a few weeks ago, but I yelled just in time. I don’t even know why he tried, he hates lemon-y things. I don’t think he even looked at the flavor, he just saw “Girls Scouts” and wanted a cookie. So, since I’m making lemon flavored ice cream with this Girl Scout Cookie “Lemonades” Ice Cream Recipe, I know I’ll have it all to myself! Yay! More for me!

Update: He likes it! I guess I’ll have to share!

Let simmer, stirring constantly, for about 8-10 minutes until it forms a creamy, thin, custard.
Remove from heat and refrigerate until cold.
Following your ice cream maker's instructions, add the lemon mixture and the whipping cream to your ice cream maker.
In the last 5 minutes of the ice cream maker's churning, add the cookie chunks.
(If your ice cream maker is too small, pour ice cream into a bowl and fold in the cookie chunks.
Transfer to a pan lined with parchment paper and freeze for 5-6 hours to make ice cream harder.
Garnish with a sprig of mint, and serve. Enjoy!
