Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups heavy cream
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 6 large egg yolks
- 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
- 14 ounces Oreo cookies (crushed)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, milk, and vanilla over medium heat until steaming (about 8 minutes). Avoid boiling.
- Whisk egg yolks and sugar in a bowl until thick and pale. Slowly add some hot milk mixture while whisking to temper the eggs. Pour back into the saucepan and stir continuously.
- Cook on medium-low heat until it reaches 180°F and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat.
- Strain custard through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl over an ice bath to cool completely. Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Crush Oreos in a resealable bag, reserving about ¾ cup for mixing later.
- Churn chilled custard in your Cuisinart ice cream maker according to manufacturer instructions (about 20–25 minutes). Add reserved crushed Oreos during the last few minutes.
- Layer half the churned ice cream in an airtight container, sprinkle half of the remaining Oreo chunks on top, then repeat with remaining ingredients. Freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
