Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ice Cream Base
  • 2 cups heavy cream Rich and creamy, essential for a luxurious texture.
  • 1 cup whole milk Adds smoothness and a balanced flavor.
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar Sweetens the mixture perfectly.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Provides depth and enhances the overall flavor.
  • Blue food coloring Adjust this to achieve your desired vibrant blue shade.
Mix-Ins
  • 1 cup chocolate chip cookie dough chunks These add an irresistible chewy texture.
  • 1 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies Like Oreos, these provide a perfect crunch and chocolatey flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Chill your ice cream maker bowl in the freezer for at least 24 hours to ensure it churns effectively.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and blue food coloring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
Churning
  1. Transfer the mixture to your chilled ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, about 20-25 minutes, until you achieve a soft-serve consistency.
  2. During the last five minutes of churning, gradually add the chocolate chip cookie dough chunks and crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, ensuring even distribution.
Freezing
  1. Scoop the ice cream into a freezer-safe container and press parchment paper or plastic wrap on the surface to prevent ice crystals.
  2. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm, before serving.

Notes

Chill your bowl for at least 24 hours, adjust food coloring to your preference, and consider using different cookie chunks for fun variations. For a healthier version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and sugar with a sweetener of your choice.
