Homemade ice cream with Oreo cookie pieces is a real treat for cookie and cream flavor lovers. This simple recipe will show you how to make ice cream that combines a creamy ice cream base with crunchy cookie pieces, creating an unforgettable taste experience.
Ingredients
- Heavy cream (36% fat), 2 cups
- Whole milk, 1 cup
- Sugar, 3/4 cup
- Vanilla extract, 2 teaspoons
- Chopped Oreo cookies, 1.5 cups (about 12-15 cookies)
Preparation
In a medium bowl, combine the heavy cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixture in the freezer, stirring every hour to avoid the formation of large ice crystals.
When the ice cream starts to thicken but before it is completely set, add the chopped Oreo cookies and gently mix. Transfer the ice cream to a container and freeze in the freezer until completely set, preferably overnight. Before serving, take the ice cream out of the freezer for a few minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop.
