A simple, no-churn cookies and cream ice cream recipe that delivers creamy texture and crunchy cookie bits without the need for an ice cream maker. Perfect for quick homemade dessert cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold heavy cream
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1520 chocolate sandwich cookies, roughly crushed
  • Pinch of salt (optional)
  • 1/4 cup (45 g) mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for about 15 minutes before starting.
  2. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl and beat on medium-high speed for 3-5 minutes until soft peaks form.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the 14 oz (396 g) can of sweetened condensed milk with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt if using. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Fold the whipped cream carefully into the condensed milk mixture using a spatula, keeping as much air in the mixture as possible.
  5. Roughly crush 15-20 chocolate sandwich cookies into large chunks, avoiding turning them into crumbs.
  6. Gently fold the cookie chunks (and mini chocolate chips if using) into the ice cream mixture.
  7. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, smooth the top with a spatula, and cover with a lid or plastic wrap.
  8. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight. For best texture, gently stir after 3 hours to redistribute cookies.

Notes

Chill your bowl and beaters before whipping cream for better results. Fold ingredients gently to keep the mixture airy. Add cookie chunks just before freezing to maintain crunch. Stir halfway through freezing for even cookie distribution. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream and sweetened condensed coconut milk.
