Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 20 Oreos, chopped
- 15 Chips Ahoy cookies, chopped
Base Ingredients
- 1 pint (473 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 14 ounces (397 grams) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon blue gel food coloring (AmeriColor recommended)
Instructions
- Prepare the whipping base by vigorously blending heavy whipping cream with vanilla extract and blue gel food coloring using an electric mixer until stiff, voluminous peaks develop.
- Incorporate sweetened condensed milk into the whipped mixture at low speed, ensuring thorough integration and adjusting blue coloration to achieve desired vibrant azure tone.
- Delicately fold crushed Oreo and Chips Ahoy cookies into the creamy mixture, distributing them evenly throughout the base.
- Transfer the ice cream blend into a chilled loaf pan, artfully garnishing the surface with additional cookie fragments for textural intrigue.
- Seal the pan securely with plastic wrap or tight-fitting lid, then place in freezer for 6-8 hours or overnight until completely solidified.
- Remove from freezer approximately 5-10 minutes before serving to allow slight softening, which enhances scooping and flavor release.
Notes
- Customize Color Intensity Adjust the blue gel food coloring gradually to achieve the perfect Cookie Monster shade, ensuring vibrant yet natural-looking results.
- Cookie Texture Variation Roughly chop cookies for varied sizes, creating exciting texture differences throughout the ice cream and preventing uniform crumbles.
- Storage Hack Wrap the ice cream container tightly with plastic wrap and place in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and maintain creamy consistency.
- Dietary Modifications Substitute dairy ingredients with coconut cream and condensed coconut milk for a vegan-friendly version that maintains the same rich, indulgent texture.
