Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
- 15–20 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed (e.g., Oreos)
Instructions
- Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies in a large zip-top bag using a rolling pin or hands until you have a mix of small chunks and crumbs. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, pour 2 cups (480 ml) of heavy whipping cream. Using an electric hand mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form (3-5 minutes).
- Gently fold in 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract and the entire 14 oz (396 g) can of sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream using a spatula, maintaining the airy texture.
- Fold in the crushed cookie pieces gently until evenly distributed, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container (8×8-inch or similar). Smooth the top with a spatula, cover with a lid or plastic wrap, and place in the freezer.
- Freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until firm but scoopable.
- Remove from freezer 5-10 minutes before serving to soften slightly for easier scooping.
Notes
Whip the cream to soft peaks, not stiff peaks, to ensure a silky texture. Fold ingredients gently to keep the mixture airy and avoid icy texture. Let ice cream soften 5-10 minutes before scooping. For vegan version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and sweetened condensed milk with sweetened condensed coconut milk.
