Ingredients

2 cups whole milk

1 cup heavy cream

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup cookie crumbs (from your favorite cookies)

Optional: colorful sprinkles and whipped cream for topping


Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together whole milk, heavy cream, and sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  2. Mix with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2–3 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer’s instructions (about 20–25 minutes) until it reaches soft-serve consistency.
  4. Transfer the churned ice cream to a container, layering in cookie crumbs as you go.
  5. Freeze for at least 4 hours until firm.
  6. Serve in bowls or cones, topped with sprinkles and whipped cream if desired.

Notes

  • Try different cookies like Oreos, peanut butter, or snickerdoodles.
  • Add mix-ins like mini chocolate chips, jam swirls, or chopped nuts for variation.
  • Use airtight containers and store in the coldest part of the freezer for best texture.
  • Let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping.
  • For dairy-free, substitute with full-fat coconut or almond milk and dairy-free cookies.
