Equipment

  • High-power blender

Ingredients

  • 473 ml 35% heavy whipping cream 1 small carton
  • 300 ml sweetened condensed milk 1 can
  • 1 vanilla bean, seeds only or 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 20 Oreo cookies or your mix-in of choice

Instructions

  • Chop the cookies into chunks or add them to a large freezer bag and crush with a mallet or rolling pin. Slice the vanilla bean lengthwise and use the back of a knife to scrape out all the seeds.
  • Add all ingredients except the cookies to the bucket of a large blender. Blend on medium speed for 30-60 seconds until it forms a soft whipped cream.
  • Use a spatula to gently stir in the cookies. Pour the ice cream into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Freeze overnight.
  • Allow to thaw for 10 minutes before scooping. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Don't blend too long or your ice cream may turn into butter!
  • Use your favourite mix-ins like chopped cookies, candies, chocolates, nut butters, etc.
  • Can I make this gluten-free? Yes—use gluten-free Oreos.
  • Can I make this dairy-free/vegan? The whipping cream and sweetened condensed milk are very important for the texture of this ice cream. I recommend searching for a specific vegan ice cream recipe.
  • Store ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw for 10 minutes before scooping.
