Description
A fun and vibrant homemade Cookie Monster ice cream made with whole milk, heavy cream, and chocolate sandwich cookies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- Blue gel food coloring (as needed for desired color)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos®), divided
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Add blue gel food coloring a few drops at a time, whisking after each addition, until you achieve a vibrant Cookie Monster blue color.
- Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top for expansion. Secure the lid.
- Place the lidded pint container on a level surface in your freezer. Freeze for 24 hours, or until the mixture is completely solid.
- Remove the pint from the freezer. Take off the lid and place the pint into the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami. Install the processing paddle.
- Select the ICE CREAM function and run the cycle.
- Once the cycle is complete, remove the pint. Use a spoon to create a well down the middle of the ice cream.
- Sprinkle 3/4 cup of the crushed cookies and all of the mini chocolate chips into the well.
- Reinstall the processing paddle. Select the MIX-IN function and run the cycle.
- Once finished, scoop the ice cream into bowls. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of crushed cookies on top for extra crunch and visual appeal. Serve immediately for soft-serve consistency, or place back in the freezer for 15-30 minutes for a firmer scoop.
Notes
- Ensure the mixture is thoroughly mixed before freezing for best results.
- Blue gel food coloring can be adjusted based on personal preference.
