Recipe – Homemade Cookies ‘n Cream Ice Cream
This recipe was born one day basically because I had a sweet tooth, I had vanilla ice cream, and I had Oreos. I’m rather picky about what items of food I mix, but Cookies ‘n Cream ice cream has always been a favorite of mine, so this seemed quite obvious once I’d done it.
Here’s what you’ll need to start:
Dreyer’s Vanilla Ice Cream (Dreyer’s is my favorite, and while I suppose you could use a different vanilla ice cream, I don’t understand why you would) and three frozen Oreos (when they’re frozen, I’ve found they produce a better grind than when they’re not frozen. Also, you get delicious chunks of frozen Oreo that didn’t crush up, and those are DELICIOUS in your ice cream.).
Scoop some ice cream into a bowl.
Place frozen Oreos in a blender. This little mini-blender is actually a baby food blender that I got for something like $20 at Burlington Coat Factory in their baby department. It chops up garlic, onions, oreos, and whatever else amazingly well. Also, it’s small so cleaning is no biggie.
Pulse until it you have some very, powder-like Oreo cookie, but also some chunks. Again, this works way better if the Oreos are frozen.
Pour the crushed cookies over your ice cream.
Don’t skimp. Pour ALL of the crushed cookies over your ice cream.
You could eat it now like this. It really is delicious, with the creamy texture of the ice cream against the grainy texture of the crushed Oreos. I prefer to mix the whole thing up, though.
Mix up the ice cream and crushed cookies, so you have homemade Cookies ‘n Cream ice cream. Doesn’t it look delicious?! I promise, it’s just as awesome as you’re thinking. If, perhaps, you’re thinking this looks gross, then GOOD! More homemade Cookies ‘n Cream ice cream for ME!

This is something I could even make here in Germany. We have oreos, we have vanilla ice cream (no Dreyer’s though) and we have blenders! YAY!

Oh! Delicious! Cookies & cream is my hubby’s favorite flavor of ice cream. It’s hard to find a type that has the perfect mix of cookies to ice cream. I’ll definitely have to share this post with him. I’m envisioning ice cream for dessert tonight!

Not looking! Not looking! My girlfriend and I each made a pact to give up one vice for 30 days. Mine was ice cream. You are killing me here! LOL
(It looks really good though!)

Yummy! I used to be addicted to oreos and just got over it. Now love Dreyers Chocolate fudge brownie ice cream. Eat it every night. May just have to get some oreo’s though the next time i’m at the store.

That does look delicious! I wish I had some right now. Unfortunately, however, I have no oreos….uh….no ice cream….and uhm….no blender. Guess it’ll have to be a treat for another day!

Also delicious? Throwing the ice cream into the blender WITH the oreos and adding some really, really good quality whole milk = delicious oreo milkshake. We probably had those 10 times in the last few weeks I was pregnant.

“Don’t skimp. Pour ALL of the crushed cookies over your ice cream.”
It would never occur to me to skimp!!!

Oh. My. Gosh. Are you aware of my complete lack of willpower? That looks so good. Cookies ‘n Cream (Blue Bell) was always my favorite ice cream growing up. I probably haven’t had it in 15 years. YUM.
