Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup crushed Oreo cookies (plus more for topping)
- 1/2 cup chocolate syrup
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and whole milk until well blended. Add the granulated sugar and whisk until completely dissolved (about 2-3 minutes). Stir in the pure vanilla extract.
- Sift the unsweetened cocoa powder into a separate bowl to remove lumps. Gradually add it to the cream mixture, whisking continuously until fully incorporated.
- Crush the Oreo cookies in a zip-top bag using a rolling pin. Fold the crushed Oreos into the ice cream base gently with a spatula, being careful not to overmix. If desired, fold in mini chocolate chips.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled. Alternatively, chill in the freezer for 30-45 minutes, monitoring closely.
- Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (typically 20-25 minutes). During the last few minutes, drizzle in the chocolate syrup for swirls.
- Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container. Smooth the top and sprinkle additional crushed Oreos on top if desired. Cover tightly and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop and enjoy!
Notes
- For a smoother texture, ensure the sugar is fully dissolved before adding cocoa powder.
- Adjust the amount of chocolate syrup based on your sweetness preference.
- Feel free to customize with additional mix-ins like nuts or other candies.
