This particular cookies and cream ice cream recipe makes about 2 L of ice cream and will store in the freezer in an airtight container for about 1-2 weeks (if you can last that long without eating it!)

Ingredients/What You Will Need

• Ice Cream Maker – I recommend either the Ninja CREAMI OR the Breville Smart Scoop (these are affiliate links). Make sure you put your ice cream bowl in the freezer 12 hours prior to making.
• 1 x airtight container
• 1 metal bowl
• 1 metal hand whisk
• 1 cup of milk (I used skim but it might be better with full cream milk)
• 500 mL of thickened cream (heavy cream)
• 3/4 cup of white sugar
• 2 tsp of vanilla
• 1/2 tsp salt (optional)
• 1 x packet of oreos (and maybe a 2nd pack if you want to decorate)

Method

1. Put your metal bowl and whisk in the freezer for about 5-10 minutes before making this recipe so that everything is super super cold for churning.
2. Crush up your oreos – I do this by placing them into a ziplock bag and smashing with a rolling pin until they’re crushed. Set aside.
3. In a metal bowl, combine milk and sugar with a whisk until dissolved. Once dissolved, mix in the cream, vanilla, and salt.
4. Add mixture to your ice cream maker, churn for about 20 minutes (or until thick and creamy).
5. Once the mixture has churned for 20 minutes, add in your oreos and churn for another 5-10 minutes (I did about 5 minutes).
6. With a spatula, place mixture into airtight container, then crush up some more oreos on top and place in freezer for 2-3 hours (or until set).
7. Enjoy!

Pro Tip: You don’t need to whip the cream before churning, as churning does all that for you. If you whip the cream for this recipe, it will end up with a more mousse-like texture.

Serving Suggestion: Add chocolate sauce and crush up more oreos before eating. YUM!
