Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Low-fat milk
- 1 14-ounce can Low-fat sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 ounces Light cream cheese
- 12 pieces Oreo cookies
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine 2 1/2 cups of low-fat milk and the cornstarch. Whisk until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the milk mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and starts to simmer. This should take about 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add in the low-fat sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and light cream cheese. Whisk until the cream cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Pour the remaining 1/2 cup of low-fat milk into the mixture and stir until incorporated.
Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely chilled.
Once chilled, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Place the Oreo cookies in a sealable plastic bag and crush them into small pieces using a rolling pin.
Fold the crushed Oreo cookies into the ice cream using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container, cover, and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm before serving.
