This Cookies and Cream Ice Cream recipe creates a rich and creamy homemade treat with a perfect balance of sweet cream and crunchy Oreo cookie pieces. Made without an ice cream maker, it uses whipped heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk for a smooth texture, then layered with crushed cookies for added crunch. Ideal for an easy and indulgent dessert that can be prepared ahead and stored in the freezer.

Ingredients

Scale

Ice Cream Base

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Cookie Mix

  • 22 Oreo cookies, coarsely crushed (about 2 1/4 cups), divided

Instructions

  1. Whip the Cream: Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the heavy cream in a large bowl until it becomes foamy and starts to thicken, about 3 minutes.
  2. Add Sweetened Condensed Milk and Vanilla: Slowly stream in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract while continuing to beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, approximately 2 minutes more.
  3. Fold in Crushed Cookies: Gently fold in 2 cups of the coarsely crushed Oreo cookies into the whipped cream mixture, making sure to combine evenly without deflating the whipped cream.
  4. Transfer to Loaf Pan: Pour the cream and cookie mixture into a 9-inch by 5-inch or 8 1/2-inch by 4 1/2-inch loaf pan. Tap the pan lightly to release any air bubbles and level the surface.
  5. Top with Remaining Cookie Crumbs: Evenly sprinkle the remaining cookie crumbs over the top of the ice cream mixture to add extra crunch and flavor.
  6. Freeze: Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and freeze until the ice cream is firm, for at least 6 hours or up to 1 day.
  7. Make Ahead & Storage: The ice cream can be made up to one week in advance. Keep it tightly wrapped and stored in the freezer to maintain freshness and texture.

Notes

  • You can use any chocolate sandwich cookies if Oreo cookies are unavailable.
  • For softer cookies in the ice cream, fold them in quickly to avoid breaking down too much.
  • Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping for easier serving.
  • Store the ice cream in an airtight container to prevent ice crystals from forming.
