About Ice cream cookies and cream
Cookies and cream ice cream is a dessert made by combining sweet cream-based ice cream with crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, traditionally Oreo cookies. Originating in the United States in the late 20th century, this flavor has become globally popular due to its rich texture and balanced flavors. Nutritionally, a 2/3 cup serving typically contains around 220-300 calories, 11-15 grams of fat, 25-30 grams of carbohydrates, 20-25 grams of sugar, and 2-5 grams of protein. It also provides minimal amounts of calcium (5-10% of the DV) and vitamin D (~2% of the DV) but is high in added sugars and saturated fats, necessitating moderation in consumption.
