Description
This Coffee Oreo Ice Cream recipe combines the rich flavors of espresso and crushed Oreo cookies to create a creamy, no-churn frozen dessert. Easy to make with just a few ingredients, it requires no ice cream maker and is perfect for coffee lovers looking for a sweet, indulgent treat.
Ingredients
Ice Cream Base
- 1 ½ cups cold heavy cream
- ⅔ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 3 tablespoons espresso powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Mix-ins
- 15 Oreo cookies, plus a few extra for topping
Instructions
- Crush Oreos: Place the Oreo cookies in a resealable plastic bag and use your hands or a rolling pin to crush them into small pieces, setting them aside for later mixing.
- Whip Cream: In a large bowl, pour the cold heavy cream and use an electric mixer to beat it until soft peaks form, which means the cream holds its shape but is still smooth.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the sweetened condensed milk, espresso powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the whipped cream. Beat again with the electric mixer for 1 to 2 minutes until everything is fully combined and smooth.
- Fold in Oreos: Using a spatula, gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies, mixing just enough to evenly distribute them without deflating the whipped cream.
- Freeze Mixture: Pour the ice cream mixture into a 9x5 inch loaf pan or another freezer-safe container. Optionally, place a few whole Oreo cookies on top for decoration.
- Freeze Until Firm: Place the container in the freezer and freeze for at least 6 hours or until the ice cream is firm enough to scoop and serve.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the heavy cream is very cold before whipping.
- Use freshly brewed espresso powder for a stronger coffee flavor or adjust to taste.
- You can substitute Oreos with any chocolate sandwich cookies if preferred.
- This recipe requires no ice cream maker, making it simple and convenient.
- Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping to make serving easier.
