Ingredients

To make this irresistible Oreo cake ice cream, you’ll need:

2 cups heavy cream (well-chilled)
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
24 Oreo cookies (about 2 sleeves), plus extra for decoration
1/4 cup chocolate cake crumbs (optional, for extra texture)
Optional: Chocolate syrup for drizzling

Pro Tip: Ensure your heavy cream is very cold before whipping to achieve the perfect fluffy consistency.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oreos and Cake Crumbs

Crush the Oreos into bite-sized pieces. Use a food processor for a quick method, but don’t over-process – you want a mix of fine crumbs and larger chunks. If using chocolate cake crumbs, crumble them finely and set them aside. Reserve about ¼ cup of the crushed Oreos for topping.

Step 2: Whip the Cream

In a large bowl, whip the cold heavy cream using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form (about 3-4 minutes). Be careful not to over-whip, as it can make your ice cream grainy.

Step 3: Mix the Base Ingredients

In another bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until well combined. This creates the sweet, creamy base of your ice cream.

Step 4: Fold Everything Together

Gently fold the whipped cream into the sweetened condensed milk mixture using a rubber spatula. Once combined, fold in the crushed Oreos and chocolate cake crumbs (if using) until evenly distributed.

Step 5: Freeze

Transfer the mixture into a 9×5 inch loaf pan or a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top and sprinkle the reserved crushed Oreos over the surface. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before scooping. Serve in bowls or cones and drizzle with chocolate syrup for extra indulgence.

Expert Tips for the Best Oreo Cake Ice Cream

Keep ingredients cold: Cold heavy cream whips better and results in a fluffier texture.
Use quality Oreos: Regular Oreos give the best flavor and texture compared to generic sandwich cookies.
Fold gently: Over-mixing will deflate the mixture and result in dense ice cream.
Experiment with flavors: Swap vanilla extract for almond extract or mix in peanut butter for a unique twist.
