Ingredients
Scale
Ice Cream Base
- 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Blue gel-based food coloring, a few drops
- 2 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
Cookies
- 15 Oreo cookies (divided, chopped)
- 15 Chips Ahoy chocolate chip cookies (divided, chopped; you can use a combination of regular or mini)
Instructions
- Prepare the Blue Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, sea salt, vanilla extract, and several drops of blue gel-based food coloring until the color is darker than desired for the final ice cream to allow for lightening once mixed with the cream.
- Whip the Cream: Using an electric mixer or stand mixer, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, ensuring a light and fluffy texture.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the blue condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream in batches, mixing carefully to retain the airiness of the whipped cream.
- Add Cookies: Chop the Oreo and Chips Ahoy cookies, reserving some pieces for topping. Fold the majority of the chopped cookies into the ice cream mixture evenly.
- Freeze Preparation: Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper or any freezer-safe container. Sprinkle the reserved cookie pieces on top for extra texture.
- Freeze: Cover the container with plastic wrap and freeze for 4 to 6 hours or until the mixture is firm and scoopable.
Notes
- Use gel-based food coloring to achieve vivid blue without altering the ice cream’s consistency.
- For best texture, fold cookies gently to avoid breaking them into too small pieces.
- If you prefer, you can substitute or add other favorite cookies to customize flavor.
- The ice cream should be allowed to soften a few minutes at room temperature before serving for easier scooping.
- Store leftovers covered in the freezer for up to one week for optimal freshness.
