Easy Peppermint Cookies & Cream Ice Cream

5 simple ingredients, super creamy, rich and refreshing! This is my favorite ice cream recipe, and I can't wait for you to try it!

Chill time 2 hours

Ingredients

  • 2 c heavy cream
  • 1 c skim milk, 2%
  • 3/4 c sugar
  • 1 T pure vanilla extract
  • 2 c crushed peppermint chocolate sandwich cookies Joe Joe's or Oreo's

Instructions

  1. Using the Cuisinart Ice Cream maker, freeze the bowl of the machine for at least 6 hours or overnight.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, skim milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk well to combine, dissolving the sugar. 

  3. With the machine running, pour the cream mixture into the bowl, and churn for about 10-15 minutes. Add the chopped cookies to mixture with the machine running, and churn for another minute. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for another 2 hours to solidify the ice cream. 

Recipe Notes

Pro Tip: Run the ice cream scoop under warm water between each time you scoop. This gives a nice clean scoop, and releases the ice cream easier.
