Flavor #9 - Cookies & Cream

Who doesn't love Cookies & Cream? It's simply Vanilla ice cream with crushed Oreos. As long as you have a good Vanilla recipe, it is hard to screw this up.

I still had the cookies from my go around with Coffee Cookie but I didn't have a lot of cream in the fridge, so this was a smaller batch by 1/3.

1 Cup of Heavy Cream

1 Cup of Milk

2/3 Cup of Sugar

3/4 Teaspoon of Vanilla

10 Oreos Crushed and Chopped

So many recipes recommend adding the cookies while the ice cream is in its final minutes in the machine.  Be careful. Add them too early and the cookies get soggy. Add them too late and they don't mix in well enough. Make them too large and they may gum up the works. One thing I learned from a few shop owners who make their own ice cream is to wait until after the batch is finished and mix the almost any item in as the ice cream is transferred to the freezing container. With cookies, I find that this gives you a really crisp, fresh cookie in your ice cream.

This batch was gone in less than 24 hours!

Enjoy!
