Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 10 Oreo cookies crushed
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Make sure the whipping cream is cold. Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before starting.
- Crush the Cookies: Place the Oreo cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush them into small pieces using a rolling pin or the bottom of a glass. Alternatively, you can chop them roughly with a knife. Set aside a handful to top the ice cream.
- Whip the Cream: In the chilled mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Mix in Condensed Milk: In a separate large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Gently fold in the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream; fold just until combined.
- Add the Cookies: Gently fold the crushed Oreo cookies into the whipped cream and condensed milk mixture until evenly distributed.
- Transfer to a Container: Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle remaining crushed cookies on top.
- Freeze: Cover the container with plastic wrap or an airtight lid and freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until the ice cream is firm. For best results, freeze overnight.
- Serve: When ready to serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop. Enjoy your homemade cookies and cream ice cream!

Notes
The ice cream is best served slightly softened. I recommend taking it out of the freezer 10-15 minutes before you plan to serve it.
