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 the Ice Cream Base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is dissolved.
  2. Add Coloring: Gradually add the blue food coloring, whisking continuously until the ice cream base reaches your desired shade of blue.
  3. Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the blue ice cream base into your ice cream maker and churn for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  4. Add Cookie Mix-ins: In the last 5 minutes of churning, add the crushed chocolate chip cookies and Oreo cookies, allowing them to evenly distribute throughout the ice cream.
  5. Freeze to Set: Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 4 to 6 hours until firm and scoopable.
  6. Serve with Toppings: Scoop the ice cream into bowls and garnish with whipped cream and mini cookie crumbles for added texture and festive presentation.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and milk with almond or oat milk.
  • Adjust blue food coloring carefully to achieve the perfect shade without overpowering flavor.
  • Use any favorite cookies for mix-ins to customize the flavor and texture.
  • Freezing time may vary slightly depending on your freezer temperature.
  • For best texture, let ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping after freezing.
