No churn cookies & cream ice cream is such an easy treat that is BEYOND delicious! It is incredibly rich and the perfect mix of vanilla flavor and oreos. One of my absolute favorite ice cream flavors and always has been! The ice cream is incredibly easy to make with only 3 ingredients required for the base. You can easily customize it to make it how you like it, and you could also use any kind of cookie you’d like!
I have other flavors on my blog that are absolutely delicious: chocolate fudge brownie, mint chocolate chip, thin mint, cookie dough, and funfetti! This post also gives you tips on what to use to make the base dairy-free if you need that! I also share the tips for dairy-free in the list below and in the recipe notes!
What you need for no churn cookies & cream ice cream:
- Heavy cream- Heavy cream is a key ingredient here. This is what makes it fluff up and the milk base. I have substituted with this Silk heavy whipping cream as a dairy-free alternative and it worked great. It was the best option I could find. I have found it at Target, Walmart, and Whole Foods.
- Sweetened condensed milk- I used regular sweetened condensed milk. This is what gives it the sweetness and richness and it’s so dang good. For dairy free, I’ve substituted with this sweetened condensed coconut milk that I ordered on Amazon that worked great!
- Oreos- I used oreos for this one! You could also try golden oreos or another flavor of oreos! Also, I’ve used the Trader Joe’s Joe Joe’s & those work perfectly too for this no churn cookies & cream ice cream.
- Vanilla extract- This just adds that perfect vanilla hint.
- Sea salt- Sea salt brings out the flavor in the ice cream. I never bake without it!
Tips for making:
- Make sure your bowl that you’re going to whip in is cold! I always use stainless because I feel like it chills better, but this helps the whipping cream whip. I put my bowl in the fridge for about 30 minutes before starting! This isn’t required but it does help it to whip up nicely.
- I LOVE these containers that I found on Amazon! I store my ice cream in here and it fills up about 1.5 containers. The recipe yields about 48oz of ice cream or about 6 cups total.
- You can totally divide the base recipe in half into two bowls before adding in the oreos if you want to do two flavors. You could do half and half so you have an oreo flavor and then vanilla or any other add-ins!
Alright, let’s get to making it! Enjoy!
No Churn Cookies & Cream Ice Cream
No churn cookies & cream ice cream is such an easy treat that is BEYOND delicious! It is incredibly rich and the perfect mix of vanilla flavor and oreos. One of my absolute favorite ice cream flavors and always has been! The ice cream is incredibly easy to make with only 3 ingredients required for the base. You can easily customize it to make it how you like it, and you could also use any kind of cookie you'd like!
Equipment
- Stand mixer or hand mixer
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 15-20 oreos chopped
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp sea salt
Instructions
- To start, in a large mixing bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and sea salt. Set aside.
- Next, using a stand mixer (with the whisk attachment) or a hand mixer, whip the chilled heavy cream on high until firm peaks form. About 5 minutes!
- Add about 1 cup of the whipped cream to the condensed milk mixture and fold them together using a rubber spatula. Once it’s mostly incorporated, add in the rest of the whipped cream.
- Fold together gently until nice & smooth. Next, add in the chopped oreos. If you want, you can split the mixture and do 2 different flavors. Keep one vanilla or add in something like cookie dough, etc!
- Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. I love these containers (they are 32oz each) and mine filled up 1½ containers. The ice cream yields about 48oz of ice cream.
- Store in the freezer for 8-10 hours or overnight until completely frozen. Enjoy!
Notes
For Storing: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for 2-3 months.
To make it dairy-free: Replace the heavy whipping cream with equal parts silk dairy-free heavy whipping cream and the condensed milk with equal parts condensed coconut milk! The oreos are already dairy-free!
This looks delicious! Can’t wait to try it! Can you share, if following your recipe, what size container have you found to be best? Thank you!
Yay! Thank you so much! Adding this into the recipe now but my container was 3.2 cups or 750mL!!
This may be the best ice cream ever! This came out even better than most recipes I’ve used involving my ice cream maker. I ended up adding a shot of espresso to one of my containers making a coffee Oreo flavor and it was insanely good!
Oh my gosh YAY!! So happy to hear you loved it! Also, that sounds incredible. I was thinking of doing a coffee flavor but that sounds even better with the Oreos. Genius!
I came over from nap time kitchen. Yummmm. This looks amazing! I could probably do a little more research myself, but d you think it might work with coconut milk in a can? I think I’ve read it’s a good replacement for condensed milk… but maybe wouldn’t be very sweet?
Hi Tara! Yay, welcome 🙂 I LOVE NAPTIME KITCHEN! And I actually haven’t looked into it, but I don’t think coconut milk would replace the condensed milk. Apparently they do make a coconut milk condensed milk though. It might be worth a try but I’m not sure how it would all turn out! If you end up testing it, let me know 🙂
I tried this recipe with the birthday cake Oreos and it was delicious! I’m wondering how the amount of sugar would compare to a store bought ice cream?
Hi! Oh my goodness, that sounds amazing! To be honest, I have no idea what the calculations are but I guess you could calculate it by looking at all the ingredients and adding them up if you wanted 🙂
