Ingredients
Ice Cream Base
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Blue gel food coloring, a few drops (adjust for desired color)
Mix-ins
- 10 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
- 10 Chewy Chips Ahoy cookies, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream using a hand or stand mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This typically takes about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Prepare the Base Mixture: In a separate bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Add a few drops of blue gel food coloring and mix until the color is evenly distributed. Adjust the amount of food coloring until you achieve your preferred shade of blue.
- Combine Cream and Base: Gently fold the whipped cream into the blue condensed milk mixture using a spatula. Fold just until combined, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream to maintain a light texture.
- Add Cookie Mix-ins: Fold in the roughly chopped Oreo cookies and Chewy Chips Ahoy cookies evenly throughout the mixture, ensuring an even distribution of cookie chunks.
- Freeze the Mixture: Pour the combined mixture into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula for an even surface.
- Cover and Freeze: Cover the container tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the freezer. Freeze for at least 6 hours or until the ice cream is firm enough to scoop.
- Scoop and Serve: Once frozen solid, scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
- Enjoy: Delight in your colorful, creamy Cookie Monster Ice Cream — a perfect cool treat for any time.
Notes
- For best results, ensure heavy cream is very cold before whipping.
- You can substitute the cookies with your favorite types if desired.
- The intensity of the blue color can be adjusted to your liking with more or fewer drops of gel food coloring.
- Store leftover ice cream covered in the freezer; allow it to soften slightly before serving.
- If you don’t have a stand mixer, a hand mixer or even a strong whisk can work, though it may take longer to reach stiff peaks.
