cookies and cream ice cream

Note: This photo is actually the below recipe doubled. But you get the idea!

I’ve only had my ice cream maker attachment for a few months and I’ve already made this recipe several times. It’s so simple and a definite crowd pleaser! Take it another step and sandwich it between some chocolate chip cookies or make a sundae! It’d also be great with the mint Oreos. Yum…

cookies and cream ice cream

makes 2 pints

  • Ingredients
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 20 Reduced-Fat Oreos

Combine cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla in a saucepan, heat until sugar has dissolved.

Pour into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge until completely cool.

Break cookies into pieces. I like mine fairly big!

When the milk mixture has cooled, pour it into your ice cream maker and freeze as directed by your ice cream maker manufacturer. When it’s five minutes from being done, put in half of the cookie pieces.

Working quickly so the ice cream doesn’t melt too much, pour it into your containers, adding in the remaining cookies in layers. Freeze!
