Cookies and cream ice cream is one of the most popular ice cream flavors and a delicious treat to enjoy on any occasion. It is very easy to make this no egg cookies and cream ice cream in the Cuisinart ice cream maker without using sweetened condensed milk.
You can serve this homemade ice cream for parties, potlucks, holidays, Thanksgiving, and Valentine's Day, or just enjoy it without any reason to celebrate! It is perfect to serve during the summer to entertain your family and friends.
Ingredients
This homemade cookie and cream ice cream has no eggs. It is made with only a few ingredients. It uses the vanilla ice cream base for which you will need whole milk, heavy cream, sugar, a pinch of salt, and vanilla extract. And then you will need a lot of crushed Oreo cookies to mix in.
Whole milk and heavy cream are the main ingredients that make the ice cream creamy. If you use low-fat milk then the ice cream will take longer to churn and will turn out to be less creamy.
Instructions
This is an easy cookies and cream ice cream recipe to make at home in an ice cream maker. It just takes a few minutes of your time and you can make delicious and creamy ice cream for your friends and family with the least effort.
In a mixing bowl, add milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Using the whisk attachment of a hand blender, blend everything well until the sugar is well dissolved.
Now stir in the heavy cream and the vanilla extract and mix it with a spoon or a spatula. At this point, there is no need to whisk the ice cream mixture after adding the heavy cream as it will be churned in the ice cream machine.
Refrigerate the mixture for about two hours and once it has been chilled, churn it in the ice cream machine. I have made the cookies and cream ice cream in the Cuisinart ICE 100 compressor ice cream maker and there is no need to freeze the bowl.
Depending on the type of ice cream maker you may have to freeze the bowl for about 24 hours before churning.
Pour the cookies and cream ice cream mix in the ice cream maker and churn it for about 25 minutes. After about 20 minutes, you can mix in the crushed Oreo cookies and then continue to churn for another 5 minutes.
The ice cream will be of soft-serve consistency. You can enjoy it right away! To make it firmer or eat it later, transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze it for about 5-6 hours.
Serving suggestions
You can eat cookies and cream ice cream all year round. Just grab a scoop and serve it to your delight in a waffle cone, sugar cone, or bowl. Sprinkle some grated chocolate or rainbow sprinkles, or enjoy them with some more Oreo cookie chunks.
You can also serve it in the banana split sundae or enjoy it with a sizzling brownie.
Equipment
I have used the Cuisinart ICE 100 compressor ice cream maker. However, any other ice cream maker will work fine. If you have a larger capacity ice cream maker using a freezer bowl or the salt and ice type, you can scale the recipe to adapt to your ice cream maker.
I love the compressor ice cream maker because there is no need to freeze the bowl and I can make batch after batch of ice creams in one day.

Storage
Homemade cookies with ice cream can last in the freezer for about a month. After about two weeks you may see tiny crystals of ice cream. This ice cream is so delicious that it will be gone before you know 🙂
Top tip
- If you are using a compressor machine, precooling the ice cream bowl for 5-10 minutes helps reduce the overall churning time.
- If you make batch after batch of ice creams in a compressor ice cream maker, after rinsing the bowl with water, pat dry it well. This prevents ice from forming on the outside of the bowl while churning which can make it difficult to remove from the machine.
- You can crush the Oreo cookies into chunks using a food processor.
