Do you have hot summers where you live? Well, here in the middle-east hot is an understatement. It's not just hot but very humid too. Stepping outdoors in the summer is like walking into an oven. Often the only things you find around you are cold drinks and ice creams.
Traditional ice cream is made with a custard base made of egg yolks, whole milk, heavy cream, and sugar. You simmer the milk mixture in a small to medium saucepan over medium-low heat until you have a thick custard that coats the back of a spoon. Mix it with fruit puree or crushed cookies like Oreos and cool in the refrigerator. Of course, this needs the use of an ice cream maker based on the manufactures instructions. This ice cream does not need any of those things
Why make this ice cream?
- It needs just three ingredients you probably already have on hand and it takes just five minutes to whip.
- It makes a smooth and creamy homemade ice cream recipe with no ice crystals and no one will believe that it was not made with an ice cream maker.
- You can use as many or as few oreo cookies as you like. I like lots of Oreos so there's a piece of cookie in every bite.
- It has a long shelflife. So, I make a few different varieties and keep them in the freezer.
- Add a little milk and whip in a blender to make the most amazing oreo smoothie you have ever tasted - deliciousness!
- Unlike traditional ice cream, this one has no egg yolks, which means it's eggless - one dessert treat for everyone.
Ingredients and substitutes
- Whipping cream/Heavy cream - The higher the fat, the creamier your ice cream. I use 38% fat content in my heavy cream.
- Condensed milk - Condensed milk is sweetened which is why we do not add any additional sugar. You can use homemade condensed milk as well.
- Vanilla - Condensed milk usually has vanilla so feel free to omit it. But, a little extra vanilla extract just makes the flavors pop.
- Oreos - I like to use classic cookies or oreo sandwiches. And no, I do not remove the creme in between the cookies. But, you can use any version of cookies from the Oreo family.
- Garnish - I topped with the same oreo cookie halves but you can also use oreo wafer pieces or one giant big oreo cookie wafers. I served it in an ice cream glass but you can also serve this ice cream in oreo cones or any chocolatey cones
Best Oreo ice cream.
- Heavy cream - In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream until almost stiff peaks.
Pro tip - The more you whip the cream the fluffier the ice cream. But, do not overwhip or you will churn the heavy cream into butter. - Condensed milk - Next, add the condensed milk and vanilla extract. Mix a minute more to combine. Pour the mixture into an ice cream container or loaf pan.
Pro tip - This is your basic no-churn vanilla ice cream ? - Oreos - Chop the Oreo cookies into small chunks then add them to the tub. Give it a good mix. Then, freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Pro tip - For the creamiest ice cream, thaw the container for at least 10 minutes before you attempt to scoop the ice cream. This will soften any ice crystals. - Enjoy!
Tips for success
- Whip the cream separately, then fold the rest of the mixture into the whipped cream. This makes the end result more soft and creamy in texture.
- Today, I am using crushed Oreos but you can also use crushed cookies
- If you use less fat the possibility of ice crystals forming can be high. A great way to reduce that is to just stir the ice cream once or twice in between.
- You can store ice cream in a metal loaf pan wrapped in aluminum foil. The foil helps prevent the formation of ice crystals. I like to use these silicon ice cream tubs with firm lids.
- Let the ice cream thaw a few minutes before you attempt to scoop it. This will give the ice crystals a moment to soften.
- I like to dip my ice cream scoop in water. This helps scoop the ice cream better.
Variations
- Oreo bars - crush some Oreo cookies with melted butter in the food processor. Then press it into a 9 x 9 square baking pan lined with parchment paper. Chill for 10 minutes while you make the ice cream. Pour the prepared ice cream base over the chilled base. Freeze then cut into bars.
- Oreo cones - crush the Oreo cookies into an almost breadcrumb consistency before you pour them into your ice cream base. Stack the empty cones onto a cone rack and pour the ice cream into each cone. Freeze then dip each cone in melted chocolate if you like.
- Oreo frozen treats - Separate the oreo cookie sandwiches then drop one cookie into a 3-inch silicon mold top with the ice cream base and top with the second half of the sandwich cookie. Freeze.
- Chocolate Oreo ice cream - Chocolate is a strong flavor, so I highly recommend adding no more than 100 grams / 3 oz of melted chocolate. You can also add 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder dissolved in ¼ cup of hot water. Make sure to cool it before you add it to the cold mixture.
- Spiked Oreo ice cream - You can add up to ½ cup of Bacardi rum, Irish whiskey, or bourbon to the ice cream base.
- Coffee Oreo ice cream - You can add a bit of brewed coffee or espresso. The bitterness of the coffee does do a great job of cutting down some of the sweetness.

Absolutely!, You can as more Oreos if you like. Just make sure to keep the ratio to more cream and fewer cookies or you will end up with a very crunchy not creamy ice cream.

Oreo Ice Cream - No Churn
My bundle of joy, granddaughter loves Oreo biscuits so I made Oreo - No Churn Ice Cream for August challenge. She just loved the icecream and was not allowing me to even decorate or take proper picture, you can see her hand.
Making No Churn ice cream was so easy and gets ready in no time! I’m gonna try other flavours from your recipes as I enjoyed making it and the outcome was super delicious, so creamy!
No store bought ice creams from now on in my house. Thank you dear Veena for such a simple and easy to make icecream. It was very satisfying as everyone at home enjoyed.

This is such an easy and no fail recipe. I made this as my kids love eating oreo and wanted this ice cream flavour. It was done in minutes and most of it was eaten by them before even freezing it.
