Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream cold
- 1 can 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 –6 drops blue food coloring adjust for desired shade
- 1 cup chocolate chip cookies chopped, store-bought or homemade
- 1 cup Oreo cookies crushed
- ½ cup cookie dough bits edible, store-bought or homemade, egg-free
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the heavy cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3–5 minutes.
- Mix the Base: Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract with a spatula until fully combined, keeping the mixture light and airy.
- Add the Blue: Stir in 4–6 drops of blue food coloring, adjusting until you reach a vibrant Cookie Monster blue.
- Fold in Cookies: Add the chopped chocolate chip cookies, crushed Oreos, and cookie dough bits. Fold gently to distribute evenly without deflating the cream.
- Freeze: Pour the mixture into a 9x5-inch loaf pan or freezer-safe container. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
- Serve: Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping. Serve in bowls or cones and enjoy!
