Servings 1 X 470ml tub

Ingredients
  

For the ice cream:

  • 100 g caster/superfine or white sugar
  • 200 g milk I used full fat but I daresay light would also work
  • 200 g full fat thickened cream 35% milk fat, also known as heavy whipping cream or whipping cream in other places
  • ½ - 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or extract to your tastes
  • Tiny pinch of fine salt

To finish:

  • 2-4 Oreos or chocolate sandwich cookies regular or gluten free if needed

Instructions
 

  • Combine the sugar and milk in a medium mixing bowl. I find this easier as the sugar won’t get stuck in the little grooves of the Creami tub. Allow the sugar to dissolve (this will only take a minute if you use caster sugar; it might take a little longer if you use regular white sugar as the granule is bigger).
  • Add the cream and flavourings and whisk to combine.
  • Decant the mixture into the 470ml Ninja Creami tub – it should come up to just below the fill line.
  • Freeze the ice cream mixture for 16-24 hours with the lid off.
  • Process the ice cream using the ice cream function. I find this mixture comes out with a great texture on the first spin.
  • Dig a hole in the middle of the cream and crumble 2 biscuits into the ice cream. Place the lid back on and process the ice cream on the mix in function. If the cookies are still at the top, you can either stir them through or try respinning the ice cream. Note that respinning tends to soften the ice cream, so you might need to chill it again after more than one respin.
  • I like to serve my ice cream with larger crumbles of 2 additional cookies but this is optional.
  • Return any leftovers to the freezer with the lid on. I find ice creams with a creamy ice cream base don’t require respinning when you want to eat the leftovers.

Notes

  • I haven't tested any sugar alternatives in this recipe.
  • I haven't tested vegan alternatives here (but I am working on a vegan vanilla ice cream)
  • Store bought gluten free Oreos can be hard to come by (particularly here in Australia). It's also worth noting that they contain oat flour, which isn't considered gluten free in Australia. 
  • If you need the cookies and cream to be gluten free, there are some gluten free chocolate sandwich biscuits available in supermarkets. I also have a recipe for gluten free chocolate sandwich cookies here.
