Oreo Mint Ice Cream image

I found this yummy ice cream recipe in Ben & Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream & Dessert Book. I changed it only slightly, adding more Oreos and adding the Oreos to the ice cream freezing process a little sooner. It's very good! Cook time is the freezing process time and for my Cuisinart freezer, that's about 20 minutes.

Time 30m

Yield 1 generous quart

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup coarsely chopped Oreo cookies
2 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups heavy cream or 2 cups whipping cream
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons peppermint extract

Steps:

  • Place cookies in a bowl, cover and refrigerate.
  • Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes; whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 more minute.
  • Pour in the cream and milk and whisk to blend.
  • Add the peppermint extract and blend again.
  • Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer's instructions.
  • While the ice cream is somewhat loose but on it's way to being frozen, add the chopped cookies and continue freezing until the ice cream is ready.
  • At this point, I transfer the ice cream to a plastic container and put it in the freezer to harden (ripen) completely.
