    This cookie monster ice cream is my new favorite flavor of the summer! Vanilla ice cream that's turned blue and stuffed with oreos and chocolate chip cookies. Even better, it's a no-churn recipe which means you don't have to invest in a large ice cream maker! All you need is an electric mixer. This recipe is so easy it has me wondering why I haven't been making homemade no-churn ice cream my entire life!

    I've ordered their cookie monster ice cream at the last few ice cream shops I've gone to this summer. I always go for a cookie flavor ice cream if they have it on the menu. At the last shop I went to, the kid working the register asked if I chose it because it had cookies in it, or because it was blue lol (obvi bc the cookies, but the blue is fun too).

    After having it a few times I thought to myself, why not try and make my own cookie monster ice cream?

    Ingredients needed for no-churn cookie monster ice cream:

    • heavy whipping cream- make sure to buy heavy whipping cream, not just whipping cream! They are different from one another in terms of fat content.
    • sweetened condensed milk- This is usually found in the baking aisle, they come in 14 oz cans like the one below. See substitution notes below.
    • blue food coloring- this is what makes cookie monster ice cream just that! You can definitely omit the food coloring if it's not your thing, you'll just have regular vanilla ice cream then. Also just a warning- this will turn your tongue/lips blue!
    • cookies- you can use whatever kind of cookies you love for this recipe, I went with original chips ahoy chocolate chip and double stuffed oreos.
    ingredients needed to make cookie monster ice cream

    Step by Step Instructions

    Step 1: Place cookies in a large baggie and crush using a rolling pin, a glass, or use your hands. You can crush the cookies as big or as small as you'd like.

    Step 2: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and salt. Set aside.

    Step 3: In a separate large bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes.

    Step 4: Take about 1 cup of whipping cream and fold it into the sweetened condensed milk. Then take that mixture and pour it back into the remaining whipping cream. Fold until combined.

    Step 5:Mix in the blue food coloring until the desired color is reached. Then fold in the cookies, leaving a few cookie pieces remaining to sprinkle on top.

    Step 6: Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or an 8x8/9x9 baking pan (you can line the pan with parchment paper first for easy clean-up). It will fill an entire loaf pan and you might have some extra depending on the size pan you use. Gently sprinkle the extra crumbled cookies on top

    Place in the freezer for at least 5 hours to set, or overnight.

    Common Questions

    What is cookie monster ice cream made of?

    This ice cream is made up of vanilla ice cream that is tinted blue, oreo cookies, and chocolate chip cookies.

    What does cookie monster ice cream taste like?

    Like a better version of cookies and cream! The vanilla ice cream + 2 different kinds of cookies give you a delicious flavor in every bite.

    What does no-churn mean?

    It means you don't have to churn the ice cream or use an ice cream maker to make it! The only thing you need to make this ice cream is an electric mixture, hand or stand version. It's as simple as mixing together a few ingredients and letting it sit in the freezer for a few hours.

    What can I substitute for sweetened condensed milk?

    You can use canned cream of coconut (the same amount that the recipe calls for). It's a great dairy-free option, although it will leave you with a bit of a coconut taste.

    Can I cut this recipe in half?

    You sure can! Just divide all the ingredients by 2.

    Tips and tricks

    • make sure you get stiff peaks- make sure you get stiff peaks when whipping up the heavy whipping cream. It should take you close to 3 minutes to achieve the stiff peaks like in the photos above.
    • use different cookies- Not a fan of oreos or chocolate chip cookies? You can substitute them for cookies you love, like nilla wafers, nutter butter, different flavored oreos, graham crackers, etc. If you're feeling wild, adding edible chocolate chip cookie dough bites would be amazing!
    • skip the blue- if food coloring isn't your thing (and neither is a blue tongue lol) then you can skip the blue coloring and leave it as is- after all, it's just vanilla ice cream. The blue is a fun twist though!
    • give your ice cream time to freeze- make sure you allow time for the ice cream to fully freeze. I recommend at least 5 hours, but typically I like to let mine sit in the freezer overnight to ensure it's good to go!

    Storing & freezing

    Cookie monster ice cream should be stored in the freezer. I typically leave it in the pan it was made in and cover the top with plastic wrap or something similar.
