No-Churn Cookies and Cream Ice Cream: 3-Ingredient Easy Dessert


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 6 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Description

A simple, creamy, and rich no-churn ice cream made with just heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and Oreos. This dessert requires no ice cream maker and delivers restaurant-quality texture with minimal effort.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream (cold)
  • 1 can (14oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 package (14.3oz) Oreo cookies, crushed
  • Optional: ½ cup white chocolate chips, ½ cup crushed nuts, or chocolate syrup drizzle

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×4 loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the long sides for easy removal.
  2. Crush the Oreo cookies into a mix of small chunks and larger pieces using a food processor or a Ziploc bag with a rolling pin. Set aside, reserving about ¼ cup for topping.
  3. In a large, cold mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
  4. Stir the sweetened condensed milk well to ensure it is smooth. If using, mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream using a rubber spatula until uniform. Avoid vigorous stirring to maintain airiness.
  6. Gently fold in the crushed Oreos until just combined.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the reserved cookies on top.
  8. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until solid.
  9. To serve, lift the ice cream out of the pan using the parchment paper. Let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly before scooping.

Notes

Keep all equipment and ingredients cold for best whipping results. Do not use light cream or half-and-half as they will not whip properly. For a vegan version, substitute heavy cream with chilled coconut cream and condensed milk with vegan condensed milk. Use gluten-free cookies if needed.
