This Cookies and Cream Ice Cream is a delightful homemade frozen treat. Creamy vanilla ice cream is packed with chunks of chocolate sandwich cookies, creating the perfect balance of smoothness and crunch. It’s easy to make at home and absolutely irresistible!

Ingredients

Scale

For the Ice Cream Base:

  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

For Mix-Ins:

  • 12–14 chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos), roughly crushed

Instructions

Prepare the Ice Cream Base

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar dissolves.
  • Cover the bowl and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours (or overnight).

Crush the Cookies

  • Place the cookies in a resealable bag and crush them into a mix of fine crumbs and larger chunks. Set some larger pieces aside for garnish.

Churn the Ice Cream

  • Pour the chilled ice cream base into your ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (20-25 minutes) until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  • In the last 5 minutes of churning, add the crushed cookies and let the ice cream maker fold them in.

Freeze to Set

  • Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top and press parchment paper or plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent ice crystals.
  • Freeze for 4-6 hours, or until firm.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Scoop into bowls or cones and garnish with extra cookie chunks for presentation. Serve immediately.

Notes

Serving Suggestions

  • Scoop into waffle cones or serve in a small bowl with a drizzle of chocolate syrup for an extra treat.

Tips & Tricks

  • No Ice Cream Maker? Pour the base into a shallow dish, freeze for an hour, and stir vigorously with a fork. Repeat every 30 minutes for 3-4 hours.
  • Use high-quality vanilla extract for a richer flavor.

Storage

  • Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
  • Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-7 minutes to soften before scooping.
