Ingredients

1 cup whole milk
¾ cup heavy cream
⅔ cup confectioners’ sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 Oreo cookies, roughly crushed

Instructions

Step 1: In a jug or small bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar has fully dissolved.
Step 2: Pour the mixture into your Ninja Creami pint container, stopping just below the fill line.
Step 3: Freeze on a completely flat surface for 24 hours, until fully solid.
Step 4: Remove the lid and place the pint into the Ninja Creami. Run the Ice Cream cycle.
Step 5: When the first cycle finishes, create a small well down the center. Add the crushed Oreos plus 1–2 tablespoons of milk to help the mix-ins blend evenly.
Step 6: Run the Mix-In cycle until the cookies are fully incorporated.
Step 7: Serve immediately for a soft-serve scoop, or freeze for 1–2 hours for a firmer texture.

Tips & Variations

Make sure to freeze the pint container on a flat surface to ensure even freezing and avoid texture issues.
For extra crunch, add more crushed Oreos after the Mix-In cycle and gently fold them in by hand before serving.
Substitute the Oreos with other chocolate sandwich cookies or add a handful of chocolate chips for a different twist.

Storage

Store leftover ice cream in the Ninja Creami pint container with the lid on. Keep it in the freezer for up to one week for best flavor and texture. To soften before serving, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes or run the Mix-In cycle again.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of cookie instead of Oreos?

Yes, you can swap Oreos for any chocolate sandwich cookies or your favorite crunchy cookies. Just roughly crush them before adding to maintain texture.

What if I don’t have confectioners’ sugar?

You can substitute with granulated sugar, but make sure to whisk well until completely dissolved to avoid a gritty texture. Powdered sugar works best for smoothness.

Ingredients

Scale

Liquid Base

1 cup whole milk
¾ cup heavy cream
⅔ cup confectioners’ sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix-Ins

6 Oreo cookies, roughly crushed

Instructions

Prepare the base mixture: In a jug or small bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar has fully dissolved, ensuring a smooth and sweet vanilla base.
Fill the pint container: Pour the mixture into your Ninja Creami pint container, filling just below the fill line to allow for expansion during freezing.
Freeze the mixture: Place the pint container on a completely flat surface in the freezer and freeze for 24 hours until the mixture is fully solid and ready for processing.
Run the Ice Cream cycle: Remove the lid from the pint, insert it into the Ninja Creami machine, and run the Ice Cream cycle to churn the frozen base into creamy ice cream.
Add cookie mix-ins: After the initial cycle finishes, create a small well down the center of the ice cream, add the roughly crushed Oreo cookies along with 1–2 tablespoons of milk to help the mix-ins blend evenly into the ice cream.
Run the Mix-In cycle: Run the Mix-In cycle on the Ninja Creami until the cookies are fully incorporated throughout the ice cream, creating a perfect cookies and cream texture.
Serve or freeze further: Serve the ice cream immediately for a soft-serve style scoop, or freeze for an additional 1–2 hours if you prefer a firmer texture.

Notes

Be sure the pint container is frozen completely flat for best results with the Ninja Creami.
Crushing the Oreos roughly allows for pleasant cookie chunks rather than powdery bits.
Adjust the amount of milk added with mix-ins to control texture consistency during the Mix-In cycle.
Use whole milk and heavy cream for a rich texture; lower fat dairy may alter creaminess.
Serve promptly after mixing or store covered in the freezer to maintain optimal texture.
