11. No-Churn Marshmallow Cookie Dough Ice Cream: Melted mini marshmallows and marshmallow vodka lend their subtle campfire taste to this cookie dough ice cream. You may want to make extra of the egg-less cookie dough, because there’s likely to be lots of snacking along the way. (via Crumb Kitchen)
12. No-Churn Samoas Cookie Caramel Ice Cream: Now you can have your favorite Girl Scout cookie all year long and in ice cream form. Go above and beyond with homemade shortbread cookies, caramel and dark chocolate chunks. Top with toasted coconut for that final Samoas touch. (via Gringalicious)
13. No-Churn Sweet Corn Butterscotch Ice Cream: And the award for originality goes to… this sweet corn ice cream!
