Description

No-Churn Cookies and Cream Ice Cream is the ultimate homemade treat that delivers creamy, dreamy goodness without any fancy machines. With just a few ingredients and simple steps, you can make a rich, vanilla-based ice cream filled with crunchy cookie bits. It’s fast, easy, and perfect for a sweet craving or sharing at a gathering.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Ice Cream:

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream (full-fat)

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 16 Oreo cookies (crushed, with some whole for topping)

Optional Add-Ins:

  • Mini chocolate chips

  • Peanut butter (swirl)

  • Caramel (swirl)

  • Crushed fruit (like strawberries or raspberries)


Instructions

  • Chill the Tools:

    • Place your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before using. This helps the cream whip faster.

  • Whip the Cream:

    • Pour the cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl. Beat it until stiff peaks form. The cream should be thick but not grainy.

  • Mix the Condensed Milk and Vanilla:

    • In another bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.

  • Combine the Mixtures:

    • Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture with a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

  • Add the Cookies:

    • Crush the Oreo cookies (some fine, some in larger pieces). Fold most of them into the mixture, saving a few for topping.

  • Fill the Pan:

    • Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or any freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula and sprinkle the remaining crushed cookies on top.

  • Freeze:

    • Cover the pan with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the freezer. Let it freeze for at least 6 hours, but overnight is best.

Notes

Ensure your mixing tools are cold to make whipping the cream easier.

Feel free to add extra cookies or other mix-ins like chocolate chips or fruit.

This recipe can be made vegan by substituting coconut milk and using dairy-free cookies.
