Indulge in this rich and creamy Oreo ice cream, which boasts the classic cookies and cream flavor without the need for an ice cream maker. The blend of sweetened condensed milk and whipped cream creates a silky base, while the chunks of Oreo cookies offer a delightful crunch in every bite.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
- 10 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 20 Oreo cookies, crushed
Instructions:
- Preparation of Oreos: Crush the Oreo cookies into a mixture of crumbs and slightly larger pieces. You can utilize a food processor for a quicker result, chop them using a knife, or place them inside a zip-lock bag and pound them gently with a rolling pin.
- Whipping the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until you achieve medium peaks.
- Combining Ingredients: Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream using a spatula. Next, incorporate the crushed Oreos into the mixture, ensuring even distribution.
- Freezing: Transfer the creamy mixture into a standard loaf pan. Cover the pan securely with plastic wrap. Freeze for 6-8 hours to ensure the mixture solidifies well.
- Serving: Prior to serving, remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly. This will make scooping easier.
Helpful Tips:
- Always use cold heavy cream for best whipping results.
- Experiment with various Oreo flavors for a unique twist.
- Feel free to customize your ice cream by adding ingredients like nuts, extracts, fruits, or sprinkles.
- Storing correctly is key. To prevent freezer burn, place plastic wrap directly on the ice cream's surface. Store it in the bottom or back of your freezer, where the temperature remains more constant.
- Enjoy within a month for the best quality.
Dig in and enjoy this delightful treat that effortlessly combines the classic flavor of Oreos with the creamy richness of homemade ice cream!
