A Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Recipe is easier than you may think! This recipe calls for eggs but no cooking or tempering! How? It’s beaten until creamy and makes for our favorite ice cream flavor called cookies and cream!
Chocolate sandwich cookies and homemade vanilla ice cream make the perfect match! I love this Cookies and cream ice cream recipe! It’s super EASY and tastes better than store bought!
If you have a good vanilla ice cream recipe then adding crushed Oreo’s just makes things better. I’m absolutely in love with this combination and it seems to go better especially with guests since that’s what gets mostly requested. I encourage you to give my vanilla ice cream a try, it’s seriously the best because your not missing out on any eggs and yet not cooking any custards. The addition of eggs does make a difference and not messing with a custard is totally a winner recipe!
Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Recipe
It’s easy to make, totally homemade and tastes so good! What’s not to love?
Can I make cookies and cream ice cream without an ice cream maker?
You can make a no churn ice cream recipe like this cookies ‘n’ cream one offers, however it will not taste the same. Unfortunately no churn ice creams don’t get the same texture as you would recognize in most store bought ice creams. The ice cream flavor develops while “churning” in an ice cream maker and you cannot substitute that texture another way.
What cookies can be used for Cookies and Cream?
Any chocolate wafer sandwich cookies like Oreo’s or a generic brand can be used for cookies and cream.
Is it safe to eat raw eggs in ice cream?
Since ice cream goes through the freezer, I do not think raw egg consummation can be an issue here. However, if you’re uncertain pasterize and cool the eggs completely before proceeding with the recipe.
What is the best Ice cream maker?
I was on the hunt for a good ice cream maker and this Cuisinart one was one I was considering however I went with the Kitchen aid ice cream attachment since I really didn’t want extra kitchen gadgets taking up counter space. I already had a kitchen aid so it would only be a bowl attachment I would need to purchase. The bowl stays in the freezer so more counter space for me and no extra machinery needed. I love this attachment it was definitely a wise investment.
How to make Cookies and Cream Ice Cream:
Do I have to chill the ice cream batter before churning?
Chilling your ice cream batter is crucial. I’ve seen a difference in my ice cream consistency. When I didn’t properly chill my batter it had the tendency to be a melty mess and that doesn’t get better after the freezing point as melted ice cream never re-gains it’s texture again.
How long should I churn ice cream for in my ice cream maker?
If your ice cream equipment and batter is properly prepared, no longer than a 30 minute mark is recommended. After 30 minutes your batter can start melting and your ice cream maker can lose it’s cold state.
How do I make my ice cream less or more creamier?
The formula is simple. Ice cream consists of cream and milk. More cream = more creamy consistency. Less cream = less creamy and more light tasting.
