Ingredients
  

Ice Cream Base
  • 2 cups Heavy cream Can substitute with half-and-half for a lighter option.
  • 1 can Sweetened condensed milk Acts as a stabilizer.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Opt for pure vanilla extract for best taste.
Add-ins
  • 15 cookies Oreo cookies Classic choice for crunchy texture; can use other chocolate sandwich cookies.
  • optional Optional mix-ins Includes chocolate chips or sprinkles.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk. Use a whisk to blend them together until well mixed.
  2. Add the vanilla extract to the mixture and whisk a bit more to incorporate.
  3. Crush the Oreo cookies in a ziplock bag or food processor (save a few for topping later!). Stir the crushed cookies into the cream mixture.
  4. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Spread it evenly to remove air pockets.
  5. Cover tightly with a lid or plastic wrap, then freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until solid.
Serving

Notes

For an even creamier ice cream, chill the heavy cream and condensed milk beforehand. Mix just until combined to keep the mixture fluffy. Store in an airtight container to prevent ice crystals from forming.
