About Oreo ice cream
Oreo ice cream is a dessert made by blending vanilla ice cream with crushed Oreo cookies, a product originally introduced in the United States in 1912 by Nabisco. It is a popular treat in Western and international cuisines, celebrated for its creamy texture and crunchy cookie inclusions. Nutritionally, Oreo ice cream is calorie-dense, predominantly composed of fats and sugars, with smaller amounts of protein and minimal micronutrients. A single serving, approximately 1/2 cup (70-100g), contains around 200-250 calories, 9-15 grams of fat, 20-30 grams of carbohydrates, and 2-4 grams of protein, depending on the brand and recipe. While it provides a quick energy source, the sugar and saturated fat contents should be moderated.
Health Benefits
- Provides a quick source of energy due to its high carbohydrate content from sugars.
- Contains small amounts of calcium from the dairy in the ice cream base, supporting bone health.
- May improve mood temporarily by triggering the release of dopamine due to sugar intake.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store in a freezer at or below 0°F (-18°C). Keep the container sealed to prevent freezer burn and maintain freshness.
