Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.....Frozen Yogurt

"Don't eat the cookie dough, you don't know if the egg is OK"
How many times have I heard and said that!?!  I wondered, without going any further, how recipes had raw chocolate chip cookie dough in them without poisoning anyone.  Well, I came across this recipe for   Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Frozen Yogurt and the mystery was solved!  No eggs, almost as simple as that!

It looked rather interesting - cookie dough, a little yogurt, and a few hours in the freezer.  No ice cream freezer needed.

I had finally purchased mini chocolate chips (Ghirardelli) so that I had them for this recipe and did not have to create my own as I normally do.  I made the dough and it tasted pretty much like chocolate chip cookie dough.   I gave Little C a sample of this part of the surprise dessert I was making - her eyes got big and she made this squeal of delight that she does when something is very good.   Either that, or she was in shock that I was giving her raw cookie dough to eat!  I then folded in a cup of Vanilla Greek Yogurt until it was smooth.  The one recipe I looked at had used Chobani Vanilla Yogurt, so I tried that too.  I had never eaten Chobani and it has a bit of a tangy flavor.  I think next time I will use Fage Greek Yogurt since it has a smoother flavor.

Once the mixture was nice and smooth, which at first didn't seem like it was going to happen, but all of the sudden did, I put it in the freezer for a few hours.  I think mine was only in the freezer for about 3 hours and it was frozen solid.  I didn't get fancy with my presentation.  I was just scooping out servings for dessert and snapped a quick picture.  

The yogurt looks and tastes like big scoops of chocolate chip cookie dough!  It is very rich and was enjoyed around our table!
