Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Pure peppermint extract
- 4 drops Green food coloring (optional)
- 15 pieces Oreo cookies
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
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.
Prepare your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Pour the prepared mixture into the ice cream maker. Churn the mixture for 20-25 minutes or until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Meanwhile, place the Oreo cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them into smaller pieces using a rolling pin. Leave some larger chunks for texture.
Once the ice cream has churned, fold in the crushed Oreos gently to evenly distribute them throughout the ice cream.
