I totally forgot to ask my doctor about this today. DH got a summer gift from work. 6 pints of ice cream, chocolate and caramel toppings, sprinkles, nuts, and 4 ice cream sundae glasses. Super nice.
One of the ice creams is Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. I know that you aren't supposed to eat raw cookie dough when pregnant but do you think that it is ok to eat in the ice cream? It always tastes and has a different texture then normal cookie dough.

I would assume the cookie dough in ice cream is ok! I'm sure they'd have to put a warning if it had raw eggs. I'd be almost positive it doesn't.

I second in that there probably isn't raw eggs in the ice cream version.

Sweet! I wasn't sure and I didn't want to take the risk. I guess I know what is for dinner....I mean dessert!

There isn't any eggs in the cookie dough ice cream - I actually found a recipe for egg-less cookie dough while I was pregnant so I didn't have to completely deprive myself of it.
Here's a link to 3 different kinds, just in case you were wondering:

@Smurfette: LOL!! There's no judging here so have it for dinner if you want! We might actually encourage that type of behavior.

Yeah, they probably use water instead of egg. I make a cookie dough cheesecake and when I do, I use water for the egg, so my guess is the ice cream does something similar.

I'm not sure. I know @mrsjacks got really bad food poisoning when she was pregnant because she ate cookie dough. I'd assume that even the dough in icecream has raw eggs in it?

Ben & jerry's cookie dough icecream does have egg in it. This is the ingredient list on their website:
Ingredients: Cream, Skim Milk, Liquid Sugar (Sugar, Water), Water, Wheat Flour, Sugar, Brown Sugar, Egg Yolks, Butter (Cream, Salt), Eggs, Expeller Pressed Soybean Oil, Chocolate Liquor, Coconut Oil, Vanilla Extract, Cocoa (Processed With Alkali), Cocoa, Salt, Molasses, Guar Gum, Natural Flavor, Cocoa Butter, Butteroil, Soy Lecithin, Carrageenan
I dont know if its raw or not but I assume so. I avoided cookie dough icecream durig pregnancy just because I'm overly cautious

It shouldn't have raw eggs in it, at least the stuff we used to use at Dairy Queen back in the day did not. (this would have been 8+ years ago) but it could make kids/adults sick, so I doubt it would change.

hm, it's not clear from the ingredient list whether the eggs are in the ice cream base or the cookie dough. the ice cream base itself may have eggs in it, but mass-produced ice cream bases are usually heated to a temperature to kill harmful bacteria/bad guys.
