It’s rich, creamy, and packed with real cookie flavor—better than store-bought. Talecia’s kids loved it, and yours will too.
Ingredients
For the Ice Cream Base:
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 packs of Oreo cookies (leave 2–3 cookies aside for topping)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Whip the Cream
- Pour cold heavy whipping cream into a large bowl.
- Whisk (or blend) until soft peaks form.
2. Add the Sweetened Condensed Milk
- Pour in the sweetened condensed milk.
- Whisk until fully combined with the cream.
3. Crush the Cookies
- Blend or crush Oreos into a fine paste (leave a few chunky if you like texture).
- Reserve a few whole cookies for topping.
4. Combine Everything
- Fold the crushed Oreos into the cream mixture.
- Stir gently until evenly mixed.
5. Freeze It and Serve
- Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container.
- Top with broken cookie pieces.
- Cover tightly with plastic wrap (this helps it set faster than a lid).
- Freeze for at least 5 hours or until firm and scoopable.
- Enjoy immediately out of the freezer—no churning, no fuss, just creamy cookies-and-cream goodness.
Pro Tips & Suggestions
- Use a blender or mixer to whip the cream—it’s way faster (save your arms!).
- Don’t over-mix after adding the Oreos—just fold to keep the texture light.
- Customize it with peanut butter drizzle, chocolate chips, or caramel swirls.
- Store it right by keeping plastic wrap directly on the surface to avoid freezer crystals.
