Who doesn’t love ice cream? Here’s an easy way to make ice cream at home with your family, and no ice cream maker or churning are required!
Here’s what you need:
2 cups heavy cream
20 chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreos), crushed
1 14-oz can sweetened
condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Alternative ideas – instead of Oreos, try crushed peanut butter cups or any other favorite cookie or candy you have at home.
Here’s what you do:
1. In a large stand mixer, pour your heavy cream and beat on high until peaks form. This should take about 5 minutes. Don’t overmix – it will turn into butter!
2. While your heavy cream is being mixed, crush your sandwich cookies. You can do this in a food processor or (my preference) place them in a large plastic bag and use a rolling pin, wooden spatula or your hands to crush them until they meet your desired texture. I like a mixture of small and big chunks.
3. Once your cookies are crushed, add to a small bowl and pour in your heavy cream and vanilla. Mix well.
4. When your heavy cream has turned from liquid into peaks, gently fold your cookie mixture in. Stir carefully until everything is evenly incorporated.
5. Pour into a freezer-safe dish and top with more sandwich cookies (optional).
6. Let sit for about 8-10 hours. I’ve made this in the morning (around 8 a.m.), and we ate it for dessert that night!
