Oreo Cookie Ice Cream

Make a homemade vanilla custard ice cream filled with pieces of crunchy Oreo cookies. With six ingredients and an ice cream machine, you'll have rich and delicious cookies and cream ice cream.

You'll Need:

– 1 ½ cups whole milk – 2 ½ cups heavy cream – 1 tablespoon vanilla extract – 6 large egg yolks – 1 ¼ cup granulated sugar – 14 ounces Oreo sandwich cookies

Instructions:

Fill a large bowl with ice to use later as an ice bath. Place an empty bowl on top of the ice. Set aside.

Instructions:

In a heavy bottom sauce pan combine milk, heavy cream, and vanilla. Cook over medium heat until mixture is steaming and small bubbles start to form around the edge of the pot.

Instructions:

Meanwhile, whisk egg yolks and sugar together in a medium sized mixing bowl. Once the milk and cream is steaming, spoon a ladel full of the hot mixture over the eggs and quickly whisk together. Repeat process once more.

Instructions:

Add egg mixture to the saucepan, and whisk to combine. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the ice cream base reaches 180°F on an instant read thermometer.

Instructions:

Place a fine mesh strainer over the empty bowl on top of the ice bath. Stain ice cream base. Chill ice cream base until it has stopped steaming. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours, or up to overnight.

Instructions:

Add Oreo cookies to a plastic bag. Crush up the cookies using a rolling pin into bite-sized pieces.

Instructions:

Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and process for 20-25 minutes. About three minutes before the ice cream is done churning, add ¾ cup of the crushed Oreo cookies into the ice cream machine.

Instructions:

Add a scoop of ice cream to a storage container, then top with a scoop of the remaining Oreo cookies. Continue this process until all the ice cream and Oreo cookies have been transferred to the storage container.

Instructions:

The ice cream will be on the soft side but can be eaten right away or put into the freezer to "cure" or harden up for a couple of hours.
