Ingredients
Scale
Cookies:
- 20 Oreo cookies, chopped
- 15 Chips Ahoy cookies, chopped
Dairy and Sweeteners:
- 1 can (14 ounces / 396 grams) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups (1 pint / 473 milliliters) heavy whipping cream
Flavor and Color Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon blue gel food coloring
Instructions
- Whip cream with vanilla extract and blue food coloring until fluffy peaks emerge, using an electric mixer at high speed for approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Gradually incorporate condensed milk into the whipped cream mixture, blending on low speed until smooth and uniform in color, adjusting blue food coloring for desired intensity.
- Delicately fold chopped Oreo and Chips Ahoy cookies into the creamy base, ensuring even distribution without deflating the whipped texture.
- Transfer the vibrant blue cookie-studded mixture into a chilled loaf pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula and garnishing with additional cookie fragments for visual appeal.
- Securely cover the pan with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid, then place in the freezer for a minimum of 6 hours, ideally allowing it to set overnight for optimal consistency and flavor melding.
Notes
- Select high-quality food coloring for vibrant blue shade without bitter aftertaste.
- Use gel-based food coloring for more intense color and less liquid interference.
- Crush cookies into varied sizes for textural interest and better distribution throughout ice cream.
- Try different cookie combinations like chocolate chip, birthday cake, or graham crackers for unique flavor profiles.
