Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup crushed Oreos
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Whisk thoroughly until sugar completely dissolves and mixture is smooth.
- Add vanilla extract to the cream mixture and stir gently to incorporate, ensuring even distribution of flavor.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions, typically 20-25 minutes, until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- While ice cream is churning, crush Oreo cookies into small, uneven pieces using a rolling pin or food processor. Ensure some pieces remain chunky for texture variation.
- Once ice cream has reached desired consistency, gently fold in crushed Oreo pieces, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Cover the container with plastic wrap or lid and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow ice cream to firm up completely.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
Tips
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better your cream, milk, and vanilla extract, the more luxurious your ice cream will taste.
- Ensure sugar is completely dissolved to prevent a grainy texture. Whisk thoroughly and consider warming the mixture slightly if needed.
- Chill your ice cream mixture before churning for at least an hour to improve texture and freezing performance.
- Don't over-churn the ice cream - stop when it reaches a soft-serve consistency to prevent it from becoming icy.
- For extra indulgence, reserve some Oreo pieces to sprinkle on top when serving.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can use the no-churn method by whipping the cream and condensing the mixture in the freezer, though the texture will be slightly different.
- Store the ice cream in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and maintain its creamy consistency.
