A quick and easy no-churn cookies and cream ice cream recipe that is creamy, dreamy, and perfect for summer or parties without the need for an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) cold heavy whipping cream
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • About 15 regular-sized Oreo cookies, crushed into chunky pieces (including some cream filling if desired)
  • Optional add-ins: mini chocolate chips or chunks, chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts, gluten-free sandwich cookies

Instructions

  1. Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for about 10 minutes before starting.
  2. Pour 2 cups (480 ml) of cold heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl. Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, whip the cream until soft peaks form (3-5 minutes).
  3. In a separate bowl, combine 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and stir gently until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture in three batches using a spatula to keep the mixture airy and smooth.
  5. Roughly crush about 15 Oreo cookies into chunky pieces by hand for texture.
  6. Fold the crushed cookies into the ice cream base gently but thoroughly. Add optional nuts or chocolate chips now if using.
  7. Pour the mixture into an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) loaf pan or similar container and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or an airtight lid and freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until firm.
  9. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy.

Notes

Chill the mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for better results. Whip cream to soft peaks to avoid turning it into butter. Fold gently to keep the mixture airy. Freeze at least 6 hours or overnight for best texture. Cookies soften over time but still provide texture; add extra cookie chunks before serving for crunch.
