Method

• Now comes the fun part—making your Cookie Monster Ice Cream! This is where the magic happens, and don’t worry, it’s as easy as mixing and freezing. Let’s walk through the steps together.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Whip the Cream

• In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the heavy cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes. Don’t rush this step—it’s crucial for getting that creamy texture!

Combine the Condensed Milk and Vanilla

• In a separate bowl, pour the sweetened condensed milk and add the vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined. This is your sweet base, and it’s going to add that irresistible creaminess.

Fold the Mixture Together

• Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture. Be careful not to deflate the cream—use a spatula to fold it in slowly. This will give the ice cream its light, airy texture while keeping it rich.

Add the Fun!

• This is where you can get creative! Add the crushed cookies into the mixture. Fold them in gently, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout. Don’t worry if they break into smaller pieces—this just adds more texture and flavor to each scoop.

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!
