Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Muffins image

Using melted ice cream is a baking shortcut that makes sense -- in one ingredient you get cream, sugar, cookies and vanilla. Mix it with self-rising flour for the ultimate easy muffins. And a cookie in the middle is a sweet surprise!

Time 55m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the muffin tin
1 pint (16 ounces) cookies and cream ice cream, melted
1 1/4 cups self-rising flour
15 chocolate sandwich cookies, such as Oreos
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Place 3 tablespoons of the melted ice cream in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Whisk together the remaining melted ice cream with the flour in a medium bowl until smooth. Use a small ice cream scoop (about 2 tablespoons) to spoon the batter into each muffin cup. Place a chocolate sandwich cookie on top of the batter in each cup. Spoon some of the remaining batter on top of each cookie. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are light golden brown, 16 to 18 minutes. Let cool completely in the tin.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and reserved melted ice cream until smooth and thick. Place the remaining 3 cookies into a small ziptop bag and roughly crush.
  • Transfer the muffins to a serving platter. Spread some of the glaze over top of each muffin, then sprinkle with the crushed cookies.
