Loaded with your favorite chocolate sandwich cookie, this Cookies and Cream Ice Cream is rich, creamy and delicious.  We love using Oreos but add in your favorite cookie!


What You’ll Love About This Recipe!

One of the best things about this ice cream recipe is that it eggless, no need to worry about raw eggs! I use the same vanilla ice cream base for almost all my ice cream recipes and this one is so good. It is definitely a stand alone vanilla but sometimes a girl just needs a little chocolate to go with her vanilla ice cream and what better than some Oreo cookies.  This ice cream is full of lots of Oreo cookie goodness. Because I am more of a vanilla fan than a chocolate fan I use about half a package of cookies but if you are more team chocolate, feel free to add in as many cookies as you want!

Ingredients Needed

  • Milk. I use a combination of whole milk, heavy whipping cream and half and half. If you can’t get half and half where you live you can replace the amount with half milk and half whipping cream.
  • Sugar
  • Vanilla Extract. Use a pure vanilla extract for best flavor.
  • Salt
  • Cookies. I like to use Oreos but you could really use any cookie and it would still be Cookies and Cream Ice Cream.  I am a big fan of Circus Animal cookies and they are amazing in ice cream. I have also added oatmeal cookies into ice cream and I think chocolate chip cookies would be great too!  Need to try that one!!

Tips from Leigh Anne

  1. Make sure your ice cream maker bowl has chilled in the freezer for at least 24 hours. I keep mine in there all the time so it is ready at a moment’s notice.
  2. Working with chilled, cold ingredients will help your ice cream to set up faster.
  3. Save some chocolate cookie chunks to sprinkle over the top of the Oreo ice cream after you put it into the freezer container.

How to Make Homemade Cookies and Cream Ice Cream

  • Whisk together all ingredients except for cookies in a bowl and pour into ice cream maker.
  • Churn according to manufacturer’s instructions.
  • The last five minutes of processing, add in cookies and let them incorporate throughout the ice cream. I like to put the cookies into a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to break them up into smaller pieces before adding them to the ice cream.
  • Place ice cream in an insulated ice cream container and freeze until firm and set up.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will homemade ice cream last in the freezer?

Stored in an airtight, insulated ice cream container it will last for a couple of weeks.

Do I have to use an ice cream maker?

This homemade ice cream recipe is designed to be made in an ice cream maker and is not meant to be a no churn ice cream.

What kind of ice cream maker do you use?

I use a Cuisinart 2 qt. ice cream maker. I then transfer the ice cream into this insulated ice cream container to let the ice cream harden up.

Some of our other favorite flavors of ice cream are:

  • Lemon Ice Cream
  • Homemade Oreos
  • Brown Sugar Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
  • Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream
  • Lemon Ice Cream
  • Fresh Strawberry Ice Cream
  • Key Lime Ice Cream
  • Banana Ice Cream
  • Soda Ice Cream

    Hi if I doesn’t have ice cream machine, can I do it manually?
    But can you teach me how to do it without ice cream machine?

      I have only ever made it using an ice cream machine so I know that is the way it works best.
