Description
Cuisinart Oreo Cookie Ice Cream is a creamy, custard-based treat packed with chunks of crushed Oreos. Made in a Cuisinart ice cream maker, this indulgent dessert combines rich vanilla flavor with nostalgic cookie crunch—perfect for family nights, parties, or whenever a sweet craving strikes.
Ingredients
2 ½ cups heavy cream
1 ½ cups whole milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
6 large egg yolks
1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
14 ounces Oreo cookies, crushed (reserve ¾ cup for churning)
Instructions
- Heat cream, milk, and vanilla in a saucepan over medium heat until tiny bubbles form around the edges (do not boil).
- In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar until pale and creamy.
- Temper eggs by slowly adding hot cream mixture, whisking constantly, then return everything to the pan.
- Cook gently, stirring, until mixture reaches 180°F and coats the back of a spoon.
- Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl set over an ice bath. Cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Crush Oreo cookies in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin. Set aside ¾ cup for mixing during the churn; reserve the rest for layering.
- Pour chilled custard into a Cuisinart ice cream maker and churn for 20–25 minutes. Add the ¾ cup crushed Oreos in the final minutes of churning.
- Layer half the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container, add crushed Oreos, repeat, then smooth top.
- Cover tightly and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- Fully chill custard before churning to prevent iciness.
- For variations, use Golden Oreos, peppermint candies, or swirl in peanut butter or caramel.
- Store with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface to prevent freezer burn.
- Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before scooping if too firm.
- Without an ice cream maker, freeze custard in a shallow dish and stir every 30 minutes until set.
