Cookies and Cream Ice Cream (No Churn)
This is seriously the best homemade cookies and cream ice cream recipe. No ice cream maker needed! This simple technique requires only a whisk, a loaf pan, and a few minutes of work.
Servings: 4 people (makes just under a quart of ice cream)
Calories: 677kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup very cold heavy cream
- 2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
- 18 chocolate and vanilla sandwich cookies (such as Oreo's), for about 2 cups of crumbs
Instructions
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, or in a large chilled mixing bowl with a whisk, whip the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt to medium-soft peaks, about 5 minutes on medium-high. PRO TIP #1: Chill the mixing bowl. Cream whips better when kept as cold as possible. PRO TIP #2: You'll know you've hit medium-soft peaks when the peaks flop over immediately and don't hold their shape, and then spread ever so slightly. This creates the right amount of aeration, so the finished ice cream will be neither too airy nor too dense.
- While the cream mixture is whipping, pulse the cookies in a food processor until you have small- to medium-sized crumbles. If you don't have a food processor, place the cookies in a large baggie and crush them with a rolling pin or the bottom of a pot until you get small chunks.
- Use a spatula to gently stir most (but not all) of the cookie crumbles into the whipped cream ice cream base. Pour the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container or loaf pan and use the spatula to even out the top. Garnish the top of the ice cream with the remaining cookie crumbles.
- Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight. Scoop (this is my favorite ice cream scoop) and serve.
