Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Add-ins

  • 15 Oreo cookies, crushed (mix of fine crumbs and larger chunks)

Instructions

  1. Whip the Cream: Start by beating the heavy whipping cream until it forms soft peaks. This means when you lift the whisk, the cream should hold gentle peaks without collapsing. Achieving soft peaks ensures a light and creamy texture for your ice cream.
  2. Mix in Sweetened Condensed Milk and Vanilla: Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and optional pinch of salt into your whipped cream using a spatula. Stir carefully to keep the air in the whipped cream, maintaining the fluffiness of the base.
  3. Fold in Crushed Oreos: Finely crush the Oreo cookies, leaving some larger chunks for crunch, and gently fold them into the creamy mixture, ensuring even distribution of cookie pieces.
  4. Freeze Until Firm: Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and cover tightly. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours or overnight for best results. The ice cream will harden into a rich, scoopable texture without needing an ice cream maker.

Notes

  • Chill your mixing bowl and whisk beforehand to whip the cream faster and better.
  • Be gentle when folding ingredients to avoid deflating the whipped cream and keep the texture light.
  • Crush Oreos with a mix of fine crumbs and larger chunks to get the best crunch.
  • Use fresh heavy cream and good quality Oreos for the best flavor.
  • Cover the ice cream tightly before freezing to prevent freezer burn and ice crystals.
