Description
Bright blue no-churn ice cream swirled with generous chunks of chocolate chip cookies and chocolate sandwich cookies, creamy, playful, and irresistibly nostalgic.
Ingredients
- Heavy whipping cream: 2 cups
- Sweetened condensed milk: 1 can (14 ounces)
- Vanilla extract: 2 teaspoons
- Blue food coloring: 6–8 drops
- Chocolate chip cookies, roughly chopped: 1 cup
- Chocolate sandwich cookies, roughly chopped: 1 cup
Instructions
- Pre-chill your tools: Place the mixing bowl and whisk or beaters in the refrigerator for 15 minutes so everything stays cold.
- Whip the cream: Add heavy whipping cream to the chilled bowl and whip until soft peaks form. Do not overwhip.
- Make the base: Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until just combined.
- Tint to blue: Add 4 drops of blue food coloring, fold, then add more drop by drop until you reach your desired Cookie Monster shade.
- Prepare the pan: Line a loaf pan or freezer-safe container with plastic wrap or ensure it has a tight-fitting lid.
- Fold in cookies: Gently fold in the chopped chocolate chip cookies and chocolate sandwich cookies, reserving a small handful for the top.
- Freeze: Scrape the mixture into the container, smooth the top, sprinkle remaining cookie pieces, cover, and freeze 4–6 hours or overnight until scoopable.
Notes
- Tip: Soft peaks give the creamiest texture, stiff peaks can make the ice cream grainy.
- Color control: Start with fewer drops of food coloring and build gradually.
- Faster freeze: Use a shallow container to reduce freezing time.
- Serving: Let the tub sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping.
