Mint Oreo Protein Ice Cream
Description
The Mint Oreo Protein Ice Cream combines fat-free thawed cool whip and evaporated milk as a creamy base enhanced with vanilla and peppermint extracts for mint flavor, along with protein powder and sweetener to increase nutritional value and sweetness. Drops of green food coloring give it a characteristic minty appearance. Crushed Oreo cookies are folded in to introduce chocolate and cookie crunch throughout the ice cream.
This mixture is placed into a container topped with additional crushed Oreos and frozen overnight until firm. The result is a smooth, cold dessert featuring the refreshing mint aroma and a balance of creamy and crunchy textures contributed by the cool whip base and cookie bits.
The recipe offers options for substitutions, including gluten-free Oreos and dairy-free ingredients, making it adaptable for dietary needs. Proper mixing and thawing of cool whip are important for texture, and storing tightly wrapped helps maintain freshness in the freezer.
Ingredients
- 1 oz. Cool Whip thawed, fat free, in container
- 1 oz. evaporated milk low fat, canned
- 2 vanilla protein powder I used PEScience, 62g
- 1/2 cup sweetener I used Swerve, granular, of choice, 96g
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp peppermint extract
- 3-4 green food coloring drops
- Pinch salt
- 15 Oreo cookies crushed, thins
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the cool whip, evaporated milk, protein powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, peppermint extract, green food coloring, and salt.
- Fold in the crushed Oreos (I like to save some for topping 😉).
- Pour the mixture into a bread pan (wrapped tightly with saran wrap) or insulated tub. Top with remaining crushed Oreos and freeze overnight.
Notes
- Use gluten-free Oreo cookies to make this ice cream gluten-free.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute dairy-free whipped topping, milk alternative, and plant-based protein powder.
- Ensure the cool whip is fully thawed before mixing to achieve a smooth texture.
- Store the ice cream covered tightly and it will stay fresh in the freezer for 3-4 months.
