Of all the ice cream recipes I’ve posted over the past 10+ years, this might just be my favorite. It’s a tie between my chocolate peanut butter ice cream and that vanilla olive oil ice cream I shared last summer. I adore this recipe so much. I’ve been holding onto it for a couple weeks now and am so excited to finally share it with you all. It’s everyone’s favorite cookie swirled into the creamiest, richest, just so perfectly sweet, chocolate ice cream. And I like to do my Oreo ice cream with double the chunks of Oreo cookies. I also add two ingredients that may surprise you, but that make this Oreo ice cream better than any other. Malted milk powder and espresso, these ingredients might not be what you would expect. But the two additions enhance the rich chocolate flavor and add unertone notes of vanilla throughout.
The details
Step 1: make the chocolate base Whip the cream with the chocolate powder until you have whipped cream. Keep it very lightly whipped so the cream does not get too grainy. Add the malted milk powder, espresso, and then sweetened condensed milk. This is what adds sweetness the ice cream. Then add plenty of vanilla, and a little sea salt too. Oh, and lots of vanilla. Step 3: freeze the ice cream Simply freeze the ice cream in a glass container or loaf pan. I like to use something like this rectangle loaf pan. Once frozen, you can scoop and enjoy any way you love. Waffle cones are especially fun if you ask me! Every spoonful is rich, creamy, perfectly sweetened, and full of chunks of Oreo cookies. It’s so fun, but even more delicious!! I love the rich flavor of the chocolate when paired with chunks of Oreos and malt powder. Maybe make a double batch – one for this week and one for the week ahead. I like to keep my freezer stocked with ice cream at all times! Looking for other homemade ice cream recipes?
