Rich and silky No-churn Cookies and Cream ice cream perfect for summer. It comes together with just 4 ingredients and no ice cream maker or fancy equipment needed!
One thing I did a lot of and had so much fun doing so this summer was making all sorts of no-churn ice creams. Mango, Mexican chocolate, rocky road, coconut rum, strawberry cheesecake, vanilla, cherry bourbon, peanut butter and jelly, caramel, and coffee brickle were just some of the flavors I’ve made and polished off gladly these last months.
And even with that already long list, I couldn’t resist throwing in this ⬇️ no-churn cookies and cream ice cream to the mix. 🙂
What can I say? I am clearly obsessed with the stuff. Ever since I discovered how easy it is to turn sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream into a decadent treat, I’ve been whipping up every delicious combination I could think. Once you try how amazingly smooth and creamy the ice cream you get and how ridiculously elementary it is to make, I am sure you would be, too!
With no-churn ice creams in your recipe arsenal, you will never buy overpriced ice creams ever again! Why would you when you can make your own pint in less than 5 minutes and with far fewer ingredients than store-bought?
There are so many possible mix-ins such as nuts, extracts, fruits, candies and cookies to kick things up, you can enjoy a brand-new flavor every day of the week.
By simply folding in a cup or so of crushed Oreo cookies into the mixture, I was able to jazz up a basic vanilla into a rich and silky Cookies and Cream ice cream that will rival the best brands out there in no time!
And the best part of this no-churn method? There’s no need for fancy equipment! No need to fish out the bulky ice cream from the dark recess of your kitchen cabinets every time you’re in the mood for a bowl of homemade ice cream.
All it takes is a little bit of elbow grease and a whole lot of patience (because the ice cream does have to freeze) for the smoothest, richest, silkiest and creamiest frozen treat you’ll savor this summer or any season of the year.
No-churn ice creams are indeed the easiest and simplest way to a decadent summer treat. Here are a few tips to note for best results every time:
- For sturdy foam and better peaks, use cream with at least 30% milkfat content.
- To whip up to maximum volume, make sure the heavy cream and condensed milk are very cold. It will also help to chill the bowl and the beaters in the freezer for about 20 to 30 minutes.
- Start beating the cream at low speed to build smaller bubbles for a stable foam. When the mixture begins to thicken, increase the speed to medium and continue to beat until stiff peaks is reached.
- Do not overbeat the whipped cream or the fat in the mixture will separate from the liquid and will turn into, well, butter. You know you’ve reached stiff peaks when the cream is thick and heavy, and clings to the beaters. To check, turn the whisk up. The peaks should hold up proudly and should point straight up without collapsing.
- The more light and airy the whipped cream, the silkiest the ice cream. Add the crushed Oreos in thirds and fold in gently with a flexible spatula to prevent the cream from deflating.
- To prevent ice crystals from forming, press down plastic wrap firmly against the entire surface of the ice cream. Store the ice cream container at the back part of the freezer where the temperature is at its coldest and most consistent as fluctuations in temperature can result in a grainy consistency.
Rich and silky No-churn Cookies and Cream ice cream perfect for summer. It comes together with just 4 ingredients and no ice cream maker or fancy equipment needed!
- 2 cups heavy cream, very cold
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk, very cold
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 24 Oreo cookies, crushed crushed
-
In a large bowl, combine heavy cream, condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer on low speed, beat until mixture begins to thicken. Increase speed to medium and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
-
Add crushed Oreos in thirds and gently fold in, making sure not to deflate cream.
-
Transfer mixture into a metal 9 x 5 loaf pan. Cover with plastic film, lightly pressing plastic film against the surface of cream mixture (this is to prevent ice crystals from forming). Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight. Serve frozen.
More Great Stuff!
Yes Yes! I could do with a scoop or two of this goodness!
Thanks for the recipe!
Ice Cream! Thank you for the recipe. I love ice cream by the way. I must say this would be yummy for sure.
Ice creams are always the most favorite item I would love any time & this one looks absolutely delicious with those Oreo cookies mixed in to it. The only thing is I can’t wait for it to freeze for 12hrs!
Hahaha, yes, the only agony here is the wait 🙂
I have an ice cream machine and am lazy, lol. I love the recipe, though. Do you think that the ingredients would themselves well to being churned or should I give this a go?
I’ve never tried ice cream makers, I have one and have yet to open the box. I think this will work in an ice cream maker but there’s really no need as the no-churn method comes out just as delicious yet a lot easier and convenient to make.
I have never had no-churn ice cream before, but cookies and cream is my favorite ice cream to eat.

This looks delicious. I do not own an ice cream maker and have wanted one for years. I tried doing one of these pinterest recipes but maybe it is time to try yours. I love cookies and cream and so do the kids. Think I’ll try this out in a few days and see how it turns out. Guess I just won’t try coffee in it because that’s what turned out bad for us. Beautiful pictures.
I hope you give this a try. I am sure it won’t disappoint 🙂
We actually made vanilla ice cream like this last weekend with the boys! They loved it. We’ll definitely try adding crushed Oreos next time
The Oreos make vanilla ice cream so much better 🙂
Can’t say I blame you for whipping up the tasty treats. I bet sampling them is fun.
Loads of fun indeed 🙂
My sister in law just gave me an ice cream maker I’ll about to pickup anytime soon. Will definitely try this cookies and cream! 🙂
I got an ice cream maker last Christmas and I have yet to take it out of the box as I’ve been so obsessed with this no-churn method. 🙂

You’re welcome, Kandi. I hope you give it a try:)
AH Man, I wish I had some whipping cream and condensed milk in the cabinet/fridge RIGHT NOW! I think I have made this recipe before, but ice cream sounds SO good right now.
I always keep heavy cream and condensed milk only for one reason and that is so I can make this ice cream any time cravings hit 🙂

Isn’t the no-churn method amazing? So easy to make and so many ways to jazz it up.

Time for homememade ice creams again. I am sure the family would enjoy this 🙂
Yum!! This looks sooo delicious. I love how it’s relatively easy to make, even I’d probably be able to do it.
Yes, this ice cream would be hard to mess up 🙂

Not difficult at all, Momina. Just make sure your ingredients are very cold and this ice cream will come together very easily 🙂
Ice cream and cookies truly are a combination made in heaven. This recipe is wonderful!
Match made in heaven indeed 🙂
My family would love this ice cream. The pictures look so perfect. Also love the bowls 🙂

this looks yummy! pinning as we speak 🙂
Thanks, Kara 🙂
I love the amount of cookies in this ice cream. No more having to pick at my ice cream to get all the cookies
I do load it up with cookies as I like to pick my ice cream, too, to get to the nuts, marshmallows, cookies or whatever mix-ins I used 🙂
This recipe looks so simple, which I like. So glad to see I can have my cookies and cream without an churning machine.
This looks delicious! I LOVE Ice Cream and would love to try this recipe!
Thanks, Logan. I do hope you give it a try. 🙂
My family loves ice cream and if I can do it without pulling out my ice maker that’s even better! Thanks for sharing your easy recipe.
Yes, that’s the beauty of this recipe other than being super delicious. No need for bulky appliance 🙂
Sooo cool!! Literally 🙂 i love this and have got to try it.
I LOVE A NO CHURN ICE CREAM. I’M LIMITED WITH KITCHEN UTENSILS SINCE I AM LIVING OVERSEAS.
I know what you mean. I don’t buy or keep a lot of appliances as our kitchen is small and don’t have a lot of counter or storage space. I love that I can make my favorite treat without any bulky equipment 🙂
It’s a good thing that this is a no-churn recipe. I donated my ice cream maker a few years ago when I was in the mood for getting rid of everything I never used. The kids will be crazy about your cookies and cream ice cream since it’s their favorite flavor – mine too!
I haven’t even taken my ice cream maker out of the box! No need with this ice cream 🙂
Omg, whipping to stiff peaks is like my bane. Haha.
I ALWAYS seem to overwhip it, and I’m just like…wtf? Anyway, besides that, this looks so easy!! I had no idea ice cream without a maker was even possible. You may have given me a reason to attempt those stiff peaks again!! Thanks for sharing <3
Just keep your electric mixer at medium speed so you don’t run the risk of over whipping 🙂
I have never attempted making ice cream at home, but I’m definitely intrigued by the idea, especially if it means you can mix up your own preferred flavors! Sounds yummy!
I am sure you’ll have fun coming up with all sorts of flavors 🙂
This is a super must try. My kids will love it.
I am sure the kids will love the ice cream. My niece and nephew can’t get enough and always requests for it when they come visit 🙂
