This Oreo Cookie Ice Cream is the ultimate treat for cookies and cream lovers! Made with just 5 simple ingredients, this no-churn ice cream is creamy, rich, and loaded up with Oreo cookie pieces.
Summer to me means all the ice cream! Just like my cookie monster ice cream, this cookie and cream ice cream is a simple no-churn ice cream recipe that is so easy to make. No need for a large (and noisy!) ice cream maker that’ll take up tons of countertop space, all you need here is a loaf pan and an electric mixer.
With recipes like oreo chocolate chip cookies and oreo donuts, you know that I’m a cookies and cream fan and had to create a cookies n cream ice cream! You are not going to believe how delicious this ice cream recipe is.

Ingredients
This list is so simple! Find ingredient notes (including substitutions and swaps) below.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: make sure you’re using sweetened condensed milk and not evaporated milk! If you can’t find that you can swap it out for canned cream of coconut. Just note that the oreo ice cream will have a subtle coconut flavor.
- Oreos: I’m using regular oreo cookies here, but feel free to use your favorite oreo flavor!
- Heavy Whipping Cream: check to make sure you’re using heavy whipping cream and not regular heavy cream.
- Vanilla Extract: I’m sticking with vanilla extract to keep that classic cookie and cream flavor, but swap it out for mint extract if you want a mint cookie flavor instead!

How to Make Oreo Cookie Ice Cream
This recipe is just a few simple steps until you get delicious ice cream. Follow along below.
Whisk the sweetened condensed milk with the salt and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth.
In another large bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream with a handheld mixer until you have stiff peaks. This should take around 3 minutes.
Fold 1 cup of the whipped cream into the sweetened condensed milk mixture, then fold all of the sweetened condensed milk mixture into the remaining whipped cream. Fold until everything is combined, then add in the Oreo cookies. Keep a small handful of the cookies to the side.
Pour this mixture into a parchment paper-lined 9x5 loaf pan and sprinkle the remaining Oreo cookies on top. Freeze for at least 5 hours, or overnight.
Kelly's Top Tip-
Make sure your ice cream has ample time to freeze. You don't want to take it out early and ruin the consistency!
Recipe Substitutions and Variations
- Add mix-ins like crushed candy canes, sprinkles, or brownie pieces.
- Switch up the Oreo flavors depending on the season- my current favorite is churro oreos!
- You cannot substitute the sweetened condensed milk in this recipe for evaporated milk- they are not the same!
Equipment Needed
Since this recipe is No-churn, we won't be needing any fancy equipment! I recommend using a stand mixer with a whisk attachment for ease, or a hand mixer (I love this cordless one).
As for a pan to use, I love my USA Pan loaf pan (for baking too), but you can really put this ice cream in any freezer safe container. Glass tupperware works great!
How To Store
Keep the ice cream in the freezer for 3-6 months. The longer it sits in your freezer the more likely it is to develop freezer burn (since it's homemade with not stabilizers). This will change the texture of your ice cream.
Frequently Asked Questions
This already fills up a regular 9x5 loaf pan to the tippy top, so if you use a smaller pan you’ll have extra ice cream mixture left over. You can add it to another pan or tupperware container.
I haven’t tested this recipe using an ice cream maker, this is way more simple and you just need a hand mixer and a pan/container to freeze it in.
Yes! You are going to be amazed at how smooth and creamy this ice cream is thanks to the sweetened condensed milk!
Churned ice cream is made in a ice cream maker, and uses the process of churning the cream while freezing in to incorporate air (giving it a smooth consistency). No-churn ice cream incorporates air before freezing by whipping heavy cream with a stand/hand mixer to stiff peaks then stirring it in with the condensed milk/toppings and freezing after.
