Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar or sweetener of choice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-in
- 10–12 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
Instructions
- Mix Base Ingredients: Whisk together the milk, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until the sugar is completely dissolved. This ensures a smooth and creamy ice cream base.
- Freeze Mixture: Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, making sure not to overfill. Secure the lid and freeze the container for at least 24 hours until the mixture is completely solid.
- Process Ice Cream: Remove the frozen pint from the freezer and install it into the Ninja Creami machine. Select the ‘ice cream’ setting and process the frozen base until it reaches a creamy consistency.
- Add Crushed Cookies: Remove the pint, create a small well in the center of the ice cream, and add the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies. Place the pint back in the machine and select the ‘re-spin’ option to blend the cookies evenly throughout the ice cream, enhancing the texture.
- Serve or Store: Serve the cookies and cream ice cream immediately for a soft-serve texture, or place the pint back into the freezer for 1-2 hours to firm up for a scoopable consistency.
Notes
- Use full-fat milk and heavy cream for a richer, creamier texture.
- If you prefer a lower sugar option, substitute sugar with your preferred sweetener such as erythritol or stevia, adjusting quantities to taste.
- Make sure the pint container is completely frozen before processing to avoid icy texture.
- For an extra crunchy texture, add more cookies after the first re-spin.
- Leftover ice cream can be stored in the pint container in the freezer for up to one week.
