Ingredients
Ice cream Mixture
1 ¼ cup(300 ml)Heavy cream (35% fat content)
1 ½ cup(360 ml)Full-fat milk
2 tablespoon(40 grams)clear runny honey
⅔ cup(130 grams)sugar
2 tablespoon(20 grams)cornstarch
½teaspoonvanilla extract (optional)
5oz/150 gramsoreo cookies, plus more to garnish
Instructions
Important: Remember to put the ice cream maker bowl in the freezer for at least 16 hours, although some models (like Cuisinart) require 24 hours. Check the manufacturer's instructions.
Make the ice cream mixture: Add the milk, cream, and honey to a large saucepan, and heat gently until barely simmering (no medium heat, and no boil). Stir sugar and cornstarch together in a bowl, add them to the saucepan, add vanilla (optional), and whisk the mixture for about 2-3 minutes over low heat until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat, let it cool, than refrigerate until cold (at least 2 hours).
Churn: Once the ingredients and the ice cream maker bowl are cold, turn the machine on and add the ice cream mixture slowly. Ensure you follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Chop and add the Oreos: Using a rolling pin or a Chef's knife, chop the Oreos into small pieces. I recommend keeping 3 or 4 cookies aside and grinding them in a food processor so that you can add some "Oreo" powder to the mixture for color and more flavor.After 10-15 minutes of churning, when the ice cream starts to look creamy and nearly done, add the chopped and ground Oreos and let the ice cream maker continue to churn until well combined.
Serve: When the oreo ice cream is ready, you can enjoy it immediately when it's still soft, or you can smooth it into a freezer-safe container and freeze it for at least a few hours before enjoying it. For extra texture and joyful chunks of cookies, top with crumbled oreos. Enjoy!
