Ingredients

For the Ice Cream Base:

2 cups heavy whipping cream (or full-fat coconut milk for a vegan version)
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (or dairy-free condensed milk)
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
Blue food coloring (natural spirulina powder or gel-based food coloring)

Mix-ins:

½ cup crushed Oreo cookies
½ cup chocolate chip cookies, chopped
¼ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
Prepare the Ice Cream Base: In a separate bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, salt, and blue food coloring until evenly mixed.
Combine the Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture, being careful not to deflate the cream.
Add the Cookies: Stir in the crushed Oreos, chopped chocolate chip cookies, and mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Freeze: Pour the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container. Cover with plastic wrap or an airtight lid and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Serve: Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping. Serve in bowls or cones and enjoy!

Notes

Make It Vegan: Substitute the heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk and use dairy-free cookies.
Storage Tip: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Creative Mix-Ins: Try adding rainbow sprinkles or white chocolate chips for extra fun!
Serving Idea: Pair with a warm chocolate chip cookie or drizzle with caramel sauce.
