Equipment

  • Ice cream maker

Ingredients

For the oreo milk

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup oreo cookies crumbled

For the oreo ice cream

  • 1 cup oreo milk use all of the recipe above (will be more than 1 cup with addition of oreos)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ¼ teaspoon of salt
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup oreos crushed

Instructions

To make the oreo milk

  • Combine the whole milk with the ½ cup of oreos in a mason jar or a container you can cover with some kind of lid. Let sit in fridge for about 15 minutes or longer. Shake the milk vigorously to create the oreo milk.

To make the ice cream

  • Combine the oreo milk, sugar, salt and one of the cups of the heavy cream in a pan. Heat up and stir until the sugar is totally dissolved. Keep cooking until a bare simmer.
  • While the milk is heating, whisk the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Drizzle the milk mixture into the egg yolks SLOWLY, whisking like crazy. And do this slowly - or you will end up with scrambled eggs.
  • Pour back into the pan and continue cooking, while stirring the entire time, until the mixture thickens (the saying here goes 'until it coats the back of the spoon or spatula’). Don't boil it though.
  • Pour the custard into a bowl and stir in the last cup of heavy cream. Then stir in the vanilla extract. Cover the bowl and refrigerate several hours, but I always refrigerate overnight.
  • Bust out your ice cream maker and process. About halfway through, when it is just starting to look like ice cream, add the chopped oreos to blend in.
    When ready pour into a some kind of pan – I used a loaf pan lined with parchment.

Notes

Let the ice cream sit out on counter about 10 minutes before scooping.
