Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup crushed chocolate cookies
- Blue food coloring
- Chocolate chip cookies for mix-ins
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of heavy cream and 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the mixture on medium speed until it is well combined and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture, and continue to mix until fully incorporated.
- Next, add a few drops of blue food coloring to the cream mixture. Start with a small amount and mix thoroughly until you achieve your desired shade of blue. You can always add more coloring if you want a brighter hue.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of crushed chocolate cookies into the blue cream mixture, ensuring that they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- If you like, you can also add additional chocolate chip cookies as mix-ins at this stage. Fold them in gently to avoid breaking them apart too much.
- Once everything is well combined, transfer the mixture into an airtight container, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Allow the ice cream to freeze for at least 4 hours or until it reaches a firm consistency.
- After the ice cream has set, scoop it into bowls or cones and serve immediately. Enjoy your Homemade Cookie Monster Ice Cream!
Tips
- • For the most vibrant blue color, use gel food coloring instead of liquid, as it provides more intense pigmentation without diluting the cream mixture. • Make sure your heavy cream is very cold before whipping for the best texture and volume. • If you want a smoother consistency, consider using an ice cream maker, which can help incorporate air and create a creamier texture. • Don't overmix the cookies when folding them in – you want chunks, not crumbs, to maintain that delightful cookie texture. • For extra indulgence, drizzle some chocolate sauce or sprinkle additional crushed cookies on top when serving. • Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before scooping to make it easier to serve.
