Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, ensure your whipping cream is very cold before folding it into the mixture. If you want to experiment, consider using different cookie varieties, such as mint Oreos for a refreshing twist. For a less rich version, substitute half of the Eagle Brand milk with regular whole milk or a plant-based milk alternative.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the ice cream in bowls or cones, and consider drizzling with chocolate syrup for extra indulgence. It pairs beautifully with Lemon Cream Cake for a delightful dessert spread. For a fun presentation, top with additional crushed Oreo cookies or whipped cream before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store the Oreo Cookie Ice Cream in an airtight container to prevent ice crystals from forming. It can be kept in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. If it becomes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping to soften it for easier serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk instead of Eagle Brand milk?
Yes, you can substitute Eagle Brand milk with sweetened condensed milk for a similar sweetness and creaminess. If you're looking for a lighter option, use a combination of whole milk and cream, but this may alter the flavor slightly.
How can I make this recipe dairy-free?
To make a dairy-free version of this Oreo Cookie Ice Cream, use coconut cream or a dairy-free whipping cream alternative. Ensure your Oreos are dairy-free, as some brands may contain milk ingredients. Adjust the sweetness as needed.
How long does it take for the ice cream to freeze completely?
The ice cream should freeze for at least 6 hours or until firm. For best results, freezing it overnight will ensure it's fully set and has a perfect scoopable texture.
