Description

This Cookies and Cream Ice Cream is rich, creamy, and the perfect Summer treat! It’s made up of a vanilla frozen custard, with pieces of crunchy oreo cookies. And, the best part of it is, that it’s made with just 7 simple ingredients, and the ice cream base comes together pretty quickly!


Ingredients

Units Scale

2 cups heavy whipping cream

1 cup half and half

1 cup white sugar

5 egg yolks

2 tsp. vanilla extract

a pinch of salt

1 + 1/2 cups crushed oreo cookies


Instructions

1. To a medium-sized saucepan, add in 2 cups heavy whipping cream, 1 cup half and half, 1 cup white sugar, 5 egg yolks, 2 tsp. vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

2. Whisk that until combined, then add cook that over medium heat, until the cream mixture starts to steam and bubble on the edges. Strain the mixture into a bowl, and place it in an ice bath. Let it chill in the fridge for 20 minutes or until completely cool.
