Crush the Oreos for the ice cream into fine crumbs either using a food processor, or place them into a ziploc bag or a bowl, and crush them with a rolling pin
Mix the condensed milk and vanilla extract together in a large mixing bowl until well combined
In another mixing bowl, use an electric hand mixer, or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, to whip up the double cream to soft peaks
Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture using a spoon or spatula. You can also whisk it in very gently
Then fold in the crushed Oreo crumbs until evenly distributed
Place a layer of the ice cream mixture into the bottom of a 2.5 litre tub. Sprinkle chunks of Oreo biscuits all over. Add another layer of ice cream and more Oreo biscuit chunks. Then finish with a final ice cream layer and the remaning chunks of Oreo biscuit
Put it in the freezer overnight or for at least 4 hours before serving
Store in the freezer for up to 3 months
Notes
You will need sweetened condensed milk for this recipe, do not use evaporated milk as it will affect the final result.
The best kind of cream to use is double cream, which has around a 48% fat content. As long as you are using a high fat content cream that will thicken when whisked, then this will not greatly affect the final result. Using single cream, or a lower fat cream, will affect the final result.
It’s best to use an electric hand mixer, or a stand mixer, to whisk up the double cream. It will take much longer by hand and require a lot of work!
You could use any flavour of Oreo for this recipe such as mint, peanut butter or golden oreos. Or an alternative cookies and cream biscuit will also work.
The vanilla extract is optional, don't worry if you don't have any to hand.
I served my ice cream with a drizzle of chocolate sauce, I used Askeys chocolate sauce.
Although I provide cup measurements, I highly recommend weighing your ingredients out using digital kitchen scales. It is the most accurate way to measure ingredients and will ensure the best results. Digital scales are very low cost and can be purchased for around £12 ($16.50) .
For teaspoon (tsp) and tablespoon (tbsp) measurements, please use measuring spoons and not the type of spoons you eat with. Again this will ensure accuracy and provide the best results.
