Ingredients
Instructions
- In a bowl, beat the egg yolks.

- Fold in crushed Oreo cookies and whipped cream.
- Pour the mixture into an aluminum foil-lined 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.

Tips & Substitutions
To achieve the best texture, make sure your whipping cream is very cold before whipping. If you want a lighter version, you can substitute half of the whipping cream with whole milk. For added flavor, try mixing in some chocolate syrup or a sprinkle of sea salt. This ice cream pairs beautifully with Grandma's Caramel Cookies for a delightful dessert experience.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the ice cream in bowls or cones, topped with extra crushed Oreo cookies or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for added indulgence. This homemade ice cream also makes a fantastic filling for dessert sandwiches or is delicious alongside a slice of pie. It’s perfect for summer gatherings or cozy nights in.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. To keep the ice cream from becoming too hard, you can place a piece of parchment paper directly on the surface before sealing. When ready to serve, let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different cookies instead of Oreos?
Absolutely! You can substitute Oreos with any of your favorite cookies, such as chocolate chip or peanut butter cookies. Just make sure they are coarsely crushed to maintain texture in the ice cream.
What if I don't have condensed milk?
If you don't have condensed milk, you can make your own by simmering 1 cup of milk with 1 cup of sugar until it reduces by about half. This will create a thicker, sweeter milk that works well as a substitute.
How can I add more flavor to my ice cream?
To enhance the flavor, consider adding mix-ins like crushed mint candies, or swirls of fruit puree. You could also experiment with extracts like almond or coffee to change the flavor profile and make it unique.
