Oreo Ice Cream Recipe (3 Ingredients)

Homemade ice cream is one of life’s sweetest indulgences. And now it’s within everyone’s reach with this 3 Ingredient Oreo Ice Cream! This no churn recipe is quick, easy and oh so creamy. No ice cream maker required!

Who doesn’t love cookies and cream ice cream? It’s always been Mini Me’s favorite flavor. She loves her annual Oreo ice cream cake for her birthday.

This homemade version is fully loaded with chocolatey Oreo cookies. And since we’re not using an ice cream machine, it will be ready in no time.

Ingredients for Oreo Ice Cream

No churn ice cream recipes have become popular over the last few years thanks to the magical combination of heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk. Combining these two ingredients creates a sweet vanilla ice cream base for any add-ins you can dream of.

The options for homemade ice cream flavors is limitless!

Here is all you’ll need to make this no churn Oreo ice cream:

• Heavy whipping cream. When we whip heavy cream on high speed, it creates the thick, creamy texture we need for our ice cream.
• Sweetened condensed milk. Condensed milk is regular whole milk with the water content evaporated off. So it’s nice and thick. It’s also what adds the sweetness to this ice cream dessert, so that no additional sugar is needed.
• Oreo cookies. Gone are the days when cookies and cream ice cream was off limits for people following a gluten free diet! You can now find gluten free chocolate sandwich cookies in most grocery stores. Swap them in for regular Oreos for a gluten free option.

This basic recipe has made homemade ice cream accessible to everyone, even those of us who don’t own an ice cream maker.

How to make homemade ice cream with only 3 ingredients

Follow these easy steps and you’ll be enjoying delicious homemade ice cream in no time:

1. Start with very cold heavy cream. If you can freeze the mixing bowl you’ll be using, it’s even better (but not required). Make sure you’re using a large bowl – larger than you think you need. Place the bowl into the sink. Using an extra large bowl and placing it into the sink for mixing will help control the inevitable splatter once you start whipping the cream.

2. Then, whip the cold heavy cream and condensed milk with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. This could take up to 10 minutes, so be patient! The cream will start to form soft peaks, but keep going until it’s as stiff as you can get it. The stiffer the peaks, the more air bubbles you’ve created, the more voluminous the ice cream mixture will be.

3. Crush the Oreo cookies. The best way to do this is to place the cookies in a heavy duty ziploc bag and either roll a rolling pin over them or use the back of a measuring cup to smash them. This is much easier than dragging out a food processor.

4. Now, gently fold the cookies into the whipped cream mixture. The idea behind gently folding is to not break up all those glorious air bubbles you created when you whipped the cream.

5. Pour the soft ice cream into a loaf pan and cover it with plastic wrap. Freeze it until it’s hard scoop consistency, about 1-2 hours.
