Ingredients
-
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup sugar, divided into 1/2 cups
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
- Pinch of salt
- 1.5 cups, broken mint Oreos
Instructions
-
- You might have to place your ice cream maker in the freezer, so look at the directions before beginning this recipe!
- Combine milk, cream, 1/2 cup sugar, vanilla and the salt in a sauce pan. Heat until almost boiling and then remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl beat the eggs and remaining 1/2 cup sugar.
- Continuing to beat eggs, pour the warm milk until combined.
- Pour the egg milk mixture back into the sauce pan over medium heat until the mixture thickens, stirring constantly. This takes a little over ten minutes.
- Remove from heat and pour in to a shallow dish. Place a sheet of plastic wrap over the custard (to prevent skin from forming) and place in the fridge to chill. Chill for a minimum of 4-6 hours, or chill overnight.
- After custard has chilled, churn in an ice cream maker for about 20-25 minutes. After about 15 minutes, pour in your Oreos. Keep churning until it looks like soft serve ice cream or until your KitchenAid ice cream attachment begins to make the “clicking” sound.
- Move ice cream to a storage container and let sit in the freezer to firm up.
- Enjoy it in a bowl, over a warmed cookie, or right out of the container!
