Recipe Details

Cook Time: 2 Hours
Ingredients:
  • 5 eggs yolks
  • 1/2 cup sugar, divided
  • 1 3/4 cups heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 1/4 cups chopped oreo cookies
  1. Set a wire-mesh sieve over a large bowl.
  2. Whisk together the egg yolks and 1/4 cup of the sugar in a large bowl set aside.
  3. Warm the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, cream, milk and salt in a
    medium saucepan over medium heat. When the mixture begins to simmer,
    slowly drizzle it into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly, then
    scrape the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan.
  4. Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat with a heatproof
    spatula, scraping the bottom as you stir, until the mixture thickens
    and coats the spatula. Pour the custard through the strainer and stir
    in the vanilla. Place the bowl in an ice bath and stir occasionally,
    until the mixture reaches room temperature. Cover the bowl and place
    the mixture in the refrigerator and chill at least 2 hours, or
    overnight.
  5. Churn the ice cream in your ice cream maker according to the
    manufacturer’s instructions. Once the ice cream is ready, layer it
    into your freezer-safe container with alternating layers of the
    chopped cookies, beginning and ending with the ice cream.
