Notes
What does cookies and cream ice cream have in it?
Basically, cookies and cream ice cream is a rich vanilla ice cream base that has chunks of Oreo cookies mixed throughout. The key is to get the cookies to incorporate with the vanilla base and not just end up being vanilla ice cream with pieces of cookies.
How many cookies should I add to cookies and cream ice cream?
That depends. I like a lot of cookies, so I added 5 crumbled Oreos as mix-ins. For an ice cream that is more vanilla than cookie, use fewer cookies.
What kind of cookies are in cookies and cream ice cream?
Oreo cookies are used to make cookies and cream ice cream. You can also use generic chocolate sandwich cookies. For this recipe, I would not recommend using other styles of cookies like chocolate chip. The result will still be good but you won't be able to achieve similar results to the cookies and cream. The cream filling is important as it adds to the creaminess and flavor of the ice cream.
