Ingredients

Ice Cream Base

  • 2 cups Heavy Cream (Can substitute with coconut cream for a dairy-free version)
  • 1 cup Milk (Can substitute with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free alternative)
  • 3/4 cup Sugar (Consider using a sugar substitute if desired)
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract (No substitutions recommended for flavor)
  • 2-4 drops Blue Food Coloring (Start with a drop and adjust to desired hue)

Cookie Mix-ins

  • 1 cup Crushed Chocolate Chip Cookies (Can replace with any favorite cookies)
  • 1 cup Crushed Oreo Cookies (Interchangeable with any sandwich cookie)

Optional Toppings

  • 1 cup Whipped Cream (Adds an extra festive touch)
  • 1/2 cup Mini Cookie Crumbles (For decoration and crunch)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ice Cream Base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  2. Add Coloring: Gradually add 2 to 4 drops of blue food coloring into the ice cream base, whisking continuously until you achieve your desired blue shade.
  3. Churn Ice Cream: Pour the blue-tinted mixture into your ice cream maker. Churn for 20 to 25 minutes or until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  4. Add Cookie Mix-ins: During the last 5 minutes of churning, slowly add the crushed chocolate chip cookies and crushed Oreo cookies to evenly distribute them throughout the ice cream.
  5. Freeze for Firmness: Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze for 4 to 6 hours to allow it to firm up and develop its full texture.
  6. Serve: Scoop the frozen ice cream into individual bowls. Optionally, top with whipped cream and sprinkle mini cookie crumbles on top for added texture and decoration. Enjoy your Cookie Monster Ice Cream adventure!

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and milk with almond or oat milk.
  • Use a sugar substitute if you prefer a lower sugar content.
  • Adjust the amount of blue food coloring according to the desired vibrancy; start with fewer drops to avoid overpowering the flavor.
  • If you do not have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixture in a shallow dish and stir every 30 minutes for 3 hours to mimic churning.
  • Store ice cream in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and preserve freshness.
