Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup crushed cookies
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine whole milk, heavy cream, and sugar. Whisk thoroughly until the sugar completely dissolves, ensuring no granules remain.
- Add vanilla extract to the milk mixture and stir gently to incorporate, creating a smooth and fragrant base.
- Place the mixture into the refrigerator and chill for approximately 30-45 minutes to ensure the liquid is cold before churning.
- Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically 20-25 minutes, until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- During the last 5 minutes of churning, gradually add the crushed cookies to distribute them evenly throughout the ice cream.
- Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container, using a spatula to spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle additional crushed cookies on top for extra texture and visual appeal.
- Cover the container with a tight-fitting lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to allow the ice cream to firm up.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
Tips
- Chill Out: Ensure your milk and cream mixture is thoroughly chilled before churning. This helps create a smoother, creamier texture.
- Cookie Selection Matters: Choose cookies with bold flavors like chocolate chip, Oreos, or shortbread for maximum taste impact.
- Crush with Care: Crush cookies into varied sizes - some fine crumbs and some larger chunks - for a more interesting texture.
- Freezer Prep: Use a freezer-safe container with a tight lid to prevent ice crystals and freezer burn.
- Softening Technique: Always let the ice cream sit for a few minutes before serving to achieve the perfect scoopable consistency.
- Experiment: Try adding a drizzle of chocolate sauce or caramel when serving for an extra decadent touch.
