About Oreo icecream
Oreo ice cream is a popular frozen dessert made by blending vanilla ice cream with crushed Oreo cookies, known for their creamy filling and chocolate wafer cookies. Originating in the United States, it combines the rich sweetness of ice cream with the crunchy texture of cookies for a delectable treat. Nutritionally, Oreo ice cream is high in calories, fat, and sugar, primarily offering carbohydrates from the cookie pieces and fats from the ice cream base. A typical half-cup serving contains approximately 200-300 calories, 10-15g of fat, and 20-30g of sugar, depending on the brand and specific recipe. It is a calorie-dense food meant for occasional indulgence rather than regular consumption, with little contribution to essential nutrients like vitamins or minerals.
Health Benefits
- Provides a quick source of energy from carbohydrates due to its high sugar content.
- Contains calcium from the milk in ice cream, contributing to bone health (though in minimal amounts).
- Can act as a sweet treat to satisfy cravings, supporting mental well-being when consumed in moderation.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store Oreo ice cream in the freezer at or below 0°F (-18°C) to maintain its texture and prevent freezer burn. Always seal the container tightly after use.
