This Simple Oreo Ice Cream recipe offers a creamy, homemade treat that perfectly combines rich vanilla ice cream with crunchy Oreo cookie pieces. Easy to prepare with just a few ingredients and an ice cream maker, this dessert is perfect for Oreo lovers wanting to enjoy a classic flavor in a smooth, chilly form.

Ingredients

Ice Cream Base

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Mix-Ins

  • 1 1/2 cups chopped Oreos (divided)

Instructions

  1. Combine Milk and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, whisk the whole milk and sugar together for a couple of minutes until the sugar dissolves completely, ensuring a smooth base for your ice cream.
  2. Add Cream, Vanilla, and Salt: Stir in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into the milk and sugar mixture until well combined.
  3. Prepare for Churning: Whisk the ingredients again briefly and pour the mixture into your ice cream maker. Follow your machine's instructions to churn the ice cream until it starts to thicken.
  4. Add Oreo Pieces: During the last two minutes of churning, add 1 cup of the chopped Oreos into the ice cream maker to evenly distribute the cookie bits. Alternatively, fold them in by hand after churning.
  5. Serve or Freeze: Serve the ice cream immediately for a soft-serve texture, topped with the remaining chopped Oreos. For firmer, scoopable ice cream, layer half the ice cream in a freezer-safe container, sprinkle with half the remaining Oreos, add the rest of the ice cream, top with the rest of the Oreos, and freeze until firm.

Notes

  • Soft-serve style can be served right after churning for a creamy, scoopable texture.
  • For firmer ice cream, freezing after layering with Oreos is recommended.
  • You can adjust the amount of Oreos according to your preference for chunkiness.
  • Be sure to follow your ice cream maker's specific instructions for best results.
  • This recipe can be customized with different cookie types or added mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts.
