    Made with just a handful of ingredients, it features the rich flavor of vanilla blended with the iconic Oreo taste. 

    And while there are plenty of churn ice cream recipes 🍨 and other homemade ice cream recipes out there, I’m all about easy home cooking – no churn for me. 😃

    Frankly, this recipe tastes better than store-bought ice cream.

    Ingredients

    The ingredients needed to make Oreo Ice cream labeled and sitting on a marble surface.
    • Oreo cookies crushed – the most important ingredient – plus more to sprinkle on top
    • Sweetened condensed milk can
    • Heavy whipping cream
    • Vanilla Extract

    Although it’s not a traditional Mexican dessert, it has become a popular choice in many Mexican households and easily found at ice cream shops, known as “nieverías.”

    It’s best to make freshly whipped heavy cream instead of store-bought whipped cream. That’ll ensure the best flavor and creamy texture. 

    Instructions 

    Crushing Oreo cookies in a ziploc bag using a rolling pin.
    • Place Oreo cookies to a plastic bag.
    • Using a rolling pin, crush them into small pieces.

    This is a great recipe that will satisfy any ice cream lover.

    Be sure to leave some larger pieces of the delicious cookies for an irresistible combination of flavors and textures. 

    You can also do this by pulsing the cookies in a food processor.

    Substitutions and Variations: 

    • Consider using Golden Oreos for a different flavor twist.
    • You could use coconut cream and coconut condensed milk for a dairy-free version. 
    • If Oreos aren’t your thing, substitute with your favorite cookies.
    • Use gluten-free cookies for a gluten-free variety.
    Making the Oreo ice cream mixture
    • Add cold heavy cream, vanilla, and sweetened condensed milk to a large bowl.
    • Use an electric mixer to beat the milk mixture until stiff peaks form. 
    • Gently fold in the crushed cookies into the mixture.

    Start out at a low speed on the electric mixer or KitchenAid. Gradually increase to a high speed, or you’ll end up with a mess all over your kitchen.

    Adding the Oreo ice cream mixture in a deep pan
    • Scoop the ice cream mixture into a loaf pan and sprinkle more Oreo cookie pieces on top.
    • Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least six hours. Overnight is best for the creamiest texture.

    Instead of a loaf pan, you can use a deep casserole dish or cake pan. Even a bundt cake pan would work.

    Pro Tips 

    • Remember, the size of the Oreo chunks is up to you – bigger pieces will give more crunch, while smaller ones will distribute more evenly.
    • For a more intense chocolate flavor, add some chocolate syrup or cocoa powder to the whipped cream mixture.
    • For longer storage, put the ice cream in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and unwanted ice crystals from forming.

    Let the ice cream soften slightly at room temperature, before scooping and serving.

    Serving Suggestions

    • You can mix in some additional goodies like chocolate chips or nuts. 
    • Serve with whipped cream, hot fudge sauce, or caramel sauce on top of the ice cream for added flair.
    • Try pairing it with a warm brownie for an extra decadent treat!

    FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions):

    Can I make this ice cream without an ice cream machine?

    Yes, this recipe is designed to be made without an ice cream machine.

    Can I use a different type of cookie? 

    Yes, feel free to substitute Oreos with your favorite cookie.

    What if you have a gluten allergy?

    Replace regular Oreos with gluten-free Oreo-style cookies or another favorite cookie for a different flavor.

    Can I make this recipe dairy-free? 

    Yes, just use dairy-free ice cream and check the cookie ingredients.
