Cookie Butter Oreo Ice Cream

In our household, making ice cream is more than just a culinary activity—it's a cherished family tradition that brings us all together, filled with laughter, creativity, and, of course, a little bit of mess. This time, we decided to whip up a batch of our much-loved Cookie Butter Oreo Ice Cream, a unique twist on the classic cookies and cream flavor that has quickly risen to the top of our family's favorite dessert list.

The secret to this heavenly creation? Swapping out the traditional vanilla ice cream base for a rich, flavorful biscoff cookie butter base. The result is a creamy, dreamy ice cream that perfectly marries the sweet, spiced taste of cookie butter with the crunchy, chocolaty goodness of double-stuffed Oreos. Here's how you can make this delightful treat right at home.

Recipe: Cookie Butter Oreo Ice Cream

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 1 cup whole milk

  • 2 cups heavy cream

  • 1 1/2 scoops cookie butter (Biscoff or any brand you prefer)

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 10 double-stuffed Oreos, crushed

Instructions:

  1. Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, whole milk, and heavy cream. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

  2. Add Flavor: Stir in the cookie butter and vanilla extract, mixing well until the cookie butter is fully incorporated into the base. The mixture should have a smooth, even consistency.

  3. Chill: For the best results, cover and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight. This step ensures that your ice cream churns to a perfect creamy texture.

  4. Churn: Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. For most machines, this process takes about 20-25 minutes.

  5. Oreo Time: Just before the ice cream is done churning, add the crushed Oreos into the ice cream maker, allowing them to mix thoroughly into the ice cream.

  6. Freeze: Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze until it reaches your desired consistency, usually about 4 hours.

  7. Serve and Enjoy: Scoop your Cookie Butter Oreo Ice Cream into bowls or cones and enjoy a unique treat that's sure to become a new family favorite.
