Cooking Time

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Freeze Time: 5–6 hours or overnight
Total Time: 6 hours
Servings: 6–8

Ingredients

2 cups heavy whipping cream (cold)
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Blue gel food coloring (a few drops, to desired shade)
½ cup mini chocolate chip cookies, crumbled
½ cup Oreo cookies, crumbled
Optional: ¼ cup mini chocolate chips or cookie dough pieces

Instructions

1. Whip the Cream

In a large mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This will create the base texture of your ice cream.

2. Combine the Base

In another bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and blue food coloring. Adjust the color to your liking. Fold this mixture gently into the whipped cream until fully combined.

3. Add the Cookies

Fold in the crumbled chocolate chip cookies, Oreo pieces, and any additional mix-ins like mini chips or cookie dough bits.

4. Freeze the Ice Cream

Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula and add a few extra cookie pieces on top for a decorative touch. Cover and freeze for at least 5–6 hours or overnight until firm.

Storage Tips

Freezer: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
