Cookies and Cream ice cream
Ingredients- 1 cup whole milk
- Pinch of salt
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 22 Oreo cookies, chopped
Set up an ice bath by placing ice water into a large bowl. Pour the heavy whipping cream into a smaller large bowl, then place the bowl in the ice bath of the larger bowl.
Heat the milk, salt and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Do not let the mixture boil.
In a small bowl whisk together the egg yolks. Pour some of the heated milk mixture into the egg yolks, whisking the entire time. This is to prevent the eggs from scrambling when added straight to the hot saucepan. Pour the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan with the remaining milk. Cook over medium low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture begins to thicken (about 10-15 minutes).
Pour the custard into the cream and stir until cooled. Add the vanilla extract. Cover and chill in the refrigerator.
Remove the custard from the refrigerator and freeze in your ice cream maker according to manufacturers instructions.
Meanwhile, coarsely chop the Oreo cookies. Once the ice cream is half-firm, stir in the cookie pieces. Place in a freezer safe, airtight container and place in freezer for several hours before serving.
Enjoy!
