Ingredients
  

Ice Cream Base

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream cold, for the creamiest ice cream texture
  • 1 can 14 oz sweetened condensed milk (the secret to perfect no-churn ice cream)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for classic vanilla ice cream flavor
  • Blue food coloring start with 5-6 drops, adjust for desired color

Cookie Mix-Ins

  • 1 cup chopped cookies choose your favorite - Oreos, chocolate chip cookies, or Chips Ahoy
  • ½ cup edible cookie dough optional, for extra indulgence

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Cream Base

  • Chill a large bowl and mixer beaters in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  • Pour 2 cups heavy whipping cream into the cold bowl.
  • Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form (about 3-4 minutes).

Step 2: Combine the Ice Cream Mixture

  • Gently fold in 1 can sweetened condensed milk using a spatula.
  • Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and blue food coloring (start with 5 drops).
  • Continue mixing until the color is even and vibrant.

Step 3: Add Cookie Pieces

  • Add 1 cup chopped cookies (Oreos, chocolate chip cookies, or Chips Ahoy).
  • For extra richness, fold in ½ cup cookie dough chunks.
  • Mix just until combined - don't overwork the batter.

Step 4: Freeze to Perfection

  • Transfer the ice cream mixture to a loaf pan or airtight container.
  • Cover the surface with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the mixture.
  • Freeze for at least 6 hours (overnight is best for ideal texture).

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  • Let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping.
  • Garnish with extra cookie pieces if desired.
  • Store leftovers in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
