Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 10-12 cookies Oreo cookies, crushed
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream (500 ml)
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk (400 g can)
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 7-10 drops green food coloring (optional)

Instructions

  • Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients - Start by gathering all of your ingredients. Make sure to crush your Oreo cookies into small pieces, so they can be evenly distributed throughout the ice cream.
  • Step 2: Whip the Cream - In a large mixing bowl, add the heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream on medium speed until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to over-whip, or your cream will turn into butter!
  • Step 3: Mix in Sweetened Condensed Milk - Next, gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream. Use a spatula to combine the two mixtures until just combined.
  • Step 4: Add Flavoring - Add in the peppermint extract and mix gently. If you want that classic minty green color, add 7-10 drops of green food coloring and stir until you achieve your desired shade.
  • Step 5: Incorporate the Oreos - Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies into the mint and cream mixture. Be gentle during this process to ensure that the cookies get mixed in without losing all of the air you’ve whipped into the cream.
  • Step 6: Freeze the Mixture - Transfer the combined mixture into an airtight container. Smooth out the top with a spatula, then cover it tightly with a lid or plastic wrap. Place the container in the freezer and let it freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
  • Step 7: Serve and Enjoy - Once the ice cream is set, remove it from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy, minty, Oreo-packed ice cream in a bowl or cone!
