- 1.5 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Pure peppermint extract
- 4 drops Green food coloring (optional)
- 15 pieces Oreo cookies

Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract.
Whisk the mixture until the sugar is fully dissolved. If desired, add 4 drops of green food coloring and whisk until evenly combined.

Once the ice cream has churned, fold in the crushed Oreos gently to evenly distribute them throughout the ice cream.
