Coffee Oreo Ice Cream
Description
This Coffee Oreo Ice Cream requires no ice cream maker. It begins by crushing Oreo cookies roughly to preserve some chunks. Soft peaks of whipped cream are then combined with sweetened condensed milk enhanced by espresso powder and vanilla extract, along with a pinch of salt to balance flavor. The crushed Oreos are gently folded in to retain texture. The mixture is poured into a container and frozen for a minimum of six hours, allowing it to firm up to a scoopable consistency. Topping with extra Oreo pieces is optional but adds visual appeal and additional crunch.
The ice cream captures a bold espresso flavor balanced by the creamy sweetness of the condensed milk and the richness of Oreos. It offers a smooth texture with scattered cookie bits providing contrast. Its simplicity and lack of churning make it an accessible homemade frozen dessert. Once frozen, it can be served in bowls or cones for casual enjoyment.
Ingredients
- 15 Oreo cookies plus a few extra for topping
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream cold
- ⅔ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 3 tablespoons espresso powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Place the oreos in a resealable bag and use your hands or a rolling pin to crush the cookies.
- Place the heavy cream in a bowl and beat it with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add the condensed milk, espresso powder, vanilla and salt. Beat with the electric mixer for another 1 to 2 minutes until combined. Use a spatula to fold in the crushed oreo cookies, stirring until combined.
- Pour the mixture in a 9x5 inch loaf pan or a freezer proof ice cream container. If desired, throw a few whole oreo cookies on top!
- Freeze for at least 6 hours before scooping and serving.
Notes
- Use cold heavy cream to achieve better volume when whipping.
- Crush Oreos into uneven pieces to keep some texture in the ice cream.
- Freeze the mixture at least 6 hours before serving to ensure proper firmness.
- Optional: add a few whole Oreos on top before freezing for presentation.
