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.
