Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.75 cup Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
- 8 cookies Low-sodium Oreo-style cookies
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt substitute (optional)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt substitute (if using). Whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually around 20-30 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
While the ice cream is churning, place the low-sodium Oreo-style cookies in a sealed plastic bag. Use a rolling pin to crush them into small pieces. You can make them as coarse or fine as you like, depending on your texture preference.
Once the ice cream has reached the desired consistency, add the crushed cookies to the ice cream maker. Allow the machine to mix the cookies in evenly, or fold them in manually if your machine does not mix in add-ins.
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the ice cream is firm enough to scoop.
Serve in bowls or cones, and enjoy your low-sodium homemade Oreo ice cream!
