Cookies and Cream Ice Cream
This Cookies and Cream Ice Cream blends cold milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and coarsely chopped chocolate sandwich cookies to create a creamy, rich frozen treat. The ingredients are mixed and churned in an ice cream maker until thickened, with cookies added partway through churning to maintain texture. After churning, the ice cream is frozen to firm up, delivering a classic cookies and cream flavor and inviting texture contrast from cookie pieces.
