I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend! Ours was filled with lots of family fun, BBQ’s and about a billion s’mores. With these warmer days we’ve been having, I LOVE making homemade ice cream! While making “real” homemade ice cream with my ice cream maker is fun, sometimes I want to whip something up quick + simple and that’s when I reach for no-churn ice cream recipes! This base recipe is so adaptable that you can make absolutely any flavor with it! I use it for most of my no-churn ice creams.
Have you ever had no-churn ice cream? I PROMISE you will not be able to tell the difference! It’s amazing. Especially this cookies and cream version – it’s one of my favorite flavors yet! I like to smash up the cookies pretty fine so it almost flavors the ice cream with a few chunks here and there so it’s not just chunks of Oreos in vanilla ice cream. There’s no need to make a custard base and all of the other steps of making traditional homemade ice cream with this no-churn recipe. While I do have a soft spot for my toasted s’mores chocolate ice cream (HEAVENNNN), sometimes easier is better.
To make this ice cream, you just whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks and fold in the rest of the ingredients. Freeze it in a airtight container and that’s it! Super easy and perfect for the hot Summer days coming up!
No-Churn Cookies and Cream Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tbs vanilla extract
- 30 Oreo cookies crushed
Instructions
- In a stand mixer with whisk attachment or a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat heavy cream to stiff peaks. Add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla and beat again until fully combined. Fold in crushed Oreos by hand with a rubber spatula - reserve a few tablespoons to sprinkle on the top before freezing, if desired. Pour ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze until scoop-able, 4-5 hours.
My family makes no churn ice cream all the time! It’s so easy and yummy! I want to grab a spoon and dive into this cookies and cream version right now!
I’m all about the no-churn ice creams these days! I want this cookies and cream ice cream now!
This looks so good — all those oreos! YUM!
My daughter would love to make this with me! I just pinned in for later use, very soon!
Wow this ice cream looks so creamy and delicious! I definitely need to get myself on the ice-cream-making, asap!
This look so good!! I always love quick and easy desserts! This is perfect!
Oh my, this looks so rich and amazing! I eat ice cream by the buckets in the summer and this recipe is so going on the list to try!
I love your no churn ice cream recipes and was wondering if you could make or tell me how to go about making a peanut butter one? Thanks!
Take the basic recipe I have here and don’t add oreos. Melt peanut butter just enough that you can stir it and swirl it in! You can even just melt it and mix it into he ice cream mixture if you want a full peanut butter ice cream.
What size container can this fit in??
I like to put mine in a 9×5 loaf pan.
How do you cover it?
