Equipment

  • Ice Cream Machine

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 cup Whole Milk
  • ¾ cup Sugar
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • 15 Oreos

Instructions

  • Prep your ice cream maker. Follow your manufacturer's instructions for best results (usually in the user manual, which may also be available online). If your machine has a built-in compressor, you can make ice cream right away. Otherwise, place the ice cream bowl in the freezer for at least 24 hours before you start.
  • Mix the base. In a bowl, combine the sugar, heavy whipping cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk everything together until well blended.
  • Chop your Oreos. Chop the Oreos and set them aside until you're ready to add them in.
  • Churn. Turn on the ice cream maker and make sure it's churning properly. Slowly pour the cream mixture into the stainless steel/freezer bowl and churn for 40–60 minutes.
  • Add the mix-ins. Add the chopped Oreos during the last 5 minutes of churning so they stay crunchy and evenly distributed.
  • Serve or freeze. Enjoy it immediately as soft-serve, or transfer it to an airtight container with a lid and freeze for at least 6 hours to let it firm up to the perfect scoop-able texture.
