Oatmeal Cookie Ice Cream is a delicious cinnamon ice cream with the added crunch of oatmeal cookies combining two favorite treats.
Picking a favorite ice cream is like trying to pick a favorite child. O.K., so some days it is easier than others! But if I had to pick three favorites they would be, Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, Fresh Strawberry Ice Cream and Lemon Ice Cream but please don’t ask me to pick!
Given a choice of desserts, if there is ice cream on the list, that is usually my choice. I come from a family of ice cream lovers. In fact, growing up, we had a freezer in the garage just for ice cream. Our family motto is, “There is always room for ice cream, it melts and fills in the cracks.” Making homemade ice cream is a favorite childhood memory and one I have continued with my children.
I get on flavor kicks. A few weeks ago it was Malted Milk Ice Cream, and during the holidays it is usually Peppermint . I use my basic vanilla ice cream recipe and just change up the flavors by what I add in. For Malted Milk Ice Cream it was malt powder and some crushed malted milk balls. For Peppermint, it was some peppermint syrup and crushed up candy canes.
My newest favorite flavor is cinnamon. Cinnamon ice cream just by it self is wonderful but I decided to take it up a notch or two on the flavor ladder and I added in some homemade oatmeal cookies! And you have Oatmeal Cookie Ice Cream!!!
Not only does it add some delicious flavor, I love the texture that the cookies add to the ice cream.
How to Make Oatmeal Cookie Ice Cream
I add the cinnamon in with the ice cream base but the cookies are added in at the end so that they stay crunchy in the ice cream. When the ice cream is almost done churning, I stir in about 8 broken up oatmeal cookies. I used homemade oatmeal cookies using this recipe but you could also use store bought.
I like my ice cream nice and hard so I put it into a airtight container and then let it harden up in the freezer for several hours or overnight. It will have more of a soft serve texture when it is first done processing. I sprinkled a couple of crushed cookie on the top before putting it in the freezer for good measure! I loved this flavor combination with the cinnamon and the crunchy oatmeal cookie. So good!
My favorite ice cream maker is this one.

I am LOVING this ice cream flavor!! I made a cinnamon chocolate sort of ice cream a very long time ago. It’s clear that cinnamon belongs in ice cream! Looking forward to meeting you in Seattle!
Looking forward to meeting you too! This will be my first Blogher event and can’t wait.
I love this! There’s a frozen yogurt shop where I live that has oatmeal cookie flavored frozen yogurt and I can’t help but get it EVERY single time I get fro yo. Your homemade ice cream recipe looks superb and I LOVE that you put fresh oatmeal cookies in it. Can’t wait to try it! I’m pinning it to my “To Try” board 😉
Our frozen yogurt shop has Snickerdoodle yogurt which I love!
Yum! Just this morning I thought to myself “Its time to find the ice cream makes.” Can’t wait to try to this!
I have the exact same ice cream maker and love it. Since I got it at the end of the summer last year I did not get much use out of it. I did happen to make a coffee ice cream and it was delicious. Would you mind sharing your plain vanilla ice cream recipe. I would truly appreciate it.
We made fresh raspberry ice cream for a family reunion and it was a hit. People were scraping the bottom of the freezer can after it had been emptied to get the last remaining spoon full!
Holy cow – my mouth is watering! Can’t wait to try this!
This weekend I made pineapple ice cream! SOOOOOOO good! 🙂
