Ingredients
- Now that you’re excited to make your own batch of Cookie Monster Ice Cream let’s talk about the simple ingredients you’ll need to bring this indulgent treat to life. Don’t worry—no complicated or hard-to-find items here! This recipe uses pantry staples and a few key components to create the ultimate creamy dessert.
What You’ll Need:
- 2 cups heavy cream – This gives the ice cream its smooth velvety texture. Don’t skip this one!
- 1 can 14 oz sweetened condensed milk – Adds the perfect amount of sweetness and helps achieve that rich, creamy consistency without needing to churn.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract – Enhances the flavor and complements the sweetness.
- 1 cup crushed cookies like chocolate chip or Oreos – The crunchy chunks are the star of the show, adding texture and flavor.
- Blue food coloring optional – For that fun, Cookie Monster-inspired look! You can add more or less depending on how bold you want the color.
- Pinch of salt – A tiny bit of salt helps balance the sweetness and brings out the flavors even more.
Tips:
- Choose your cookies wisely: While chocolate chip cookies are a classic choice you can experiment with other cookies like Oreos, or even go for a mix of both! The more texture, the better.
- Customize the color: You don’t have to use blue food coloring. Feel free to get creative with other fun colors that suit your theme or mood.
- Dairy-Free? If you’re looking for a dairy-free option you can easily swap the heavy cream with coconut cream and the sweetened condensed milk with a plant-based alternative.
Pro Tip:
- Don’t overmix: When adding the crushed cookies gently fold them into the ice cream base. This ensures you get those perfect cookie chunks throughout the ice cream, rather than having them turn into crumbs.
- With these ingredients you’re all set to create a delicious and fun dessert that’s sure to wow everyone. Ready to mix everything together? Let’s move on to the next step!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Combine the Condensed Milk and Vanilla
Fold the Mixture Together
Color It (Optional)
If you’re adding blue food coloring for that classic Cookie Monster look, add a few drops at a time, mixing gently until you reach your desired shade. It’s totally up to you how vibrant you want it, so have fun with this step!
Freeze and Wait
Once everything is mixed, transfer your ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula, then cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or until it’s fully set. The waiting game is the hardest part, but trust me, it’s worth it!
