Description
This homemade Cookies and Cream Ice Cream is a creamy, rich dessert made with just three ingredients and no ice cream machine required. Perfectly smooth with chunks of Oreo cookies throughout, it’s a simple and delicious treat that freezes in just a few hours.
Ingredients
Ice Cream Base
- 2 cups cold heavy cream
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
Add-ins
- 14 Oreo cookies, plus extra for topping
Instructions
- Crush Oreos: Place the Oreos in a ziplock bag and smash them into large chunks using a rolling pin or your hands. You can customize the size of the chunks to your preference.
- Whip Cream: In a large mixing bowl, add the cold heavy cream and whip it using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the balloon whisk attachment. Whip for about 5 minutes until medium-stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip to avoid turning the cream into butter.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the sweetened condensed milk and crushed Oreo chunks into the whipped cream. Gently whip on low speed until all ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed.
- Freeze Mixture: Transfer the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container such as a metal loaf pan. Smooth out the top with a spatula and sprinkle additional Oreo chunks on top for garnish.
- Freeze: Cover the container tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for at least 6 hours or until fully set and firm.
- Serve: Once frozen, scoop the ice cream using an ice cream scoop and serve immediately for a creamy, indulgent treat.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the heavy cream is very cold before whipping.
- Do not over-whip the cream to prevent it from turning into butter.
- You can adjust the amount of Oreo cookies based on how chunky you want your ice cream.
- This no-churn ice cream will keep well in the freezer for up to 1 week if stored in an airtight container.
- If the ice cream becomes too hard after freezing, let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping.
