Ingredients
- Heavy cream
- Sweetened condensed milk
- Oreo cookies
- Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Chill a large mixing bowl and whisk in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before starting to ensure maximum cream volume.
- Pour the heavy cream into the chilled bowl and whip using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, mixing carefully to maintain the cream's light and airy texture.
- Roughly chop half of the Oreo cookies into small chunks, reserving some whole cookies for decoration.
- Fold the chopped Oreo cookies into the cream mixture, distributing them evenly throughout the base.
- Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Crush the remaining whole Oreo cookies and sprinkle them on top of the mixture for additional texture and visual appeal.
- Cover the container with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid and freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
- Remove from freezer 5-10 minutes before serving to allow slight softening for easier scooping.
Tips
- Chill your mixing bowl and whisk beforehand - this helps create maximum volume and a lighter, fluffier texture.
- Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, but be careful not to over-beat, which can make the mixture grainy.
- Fold ingredients gently to maintain the air in the whipped cream, ensuring a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Use fresh, crisp Oreo cookies for the best texture and flavor contrast.
- For an extra indulgent version, try using Double Stuf Oreos or mix in chocolate chips.
- Freeze the ice cream overnight for the best texture and flavor development.
- Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving to make scooping easier.
- Store in an airtight container to prevent ice crystals from forming and maintain the creamy texture.
