The Timeless Charm of Oreo Cookies
Oreos have been delighting snack lovers for over a century. Launched in 1912 by the National Biscuit Company (Nabisco), they quickly earned their place as the world’s most iconic cookie.
With their perfectly crisp chocolate wafers and sweet vanilla filling, Oreos stir up a unique kind of nostalgia. Dunked in milk, devoured straight from the pack, or crumbled over desserts – they’re a classic we never outgrow.
Naturally, it wasn’t long before dessert lovers thought: What if we turned these into ice cream? And we’ve never looked back.
Why Oreos + Ice Cream = The Perfect Match
Ice cream holds a special place in all of our hearts, the world’s favourite frozen dessert in fact, and with the addition of Oreo Cookies and the simplicity of this no-churn recipe, this homemade treat becomes even more irresistible.
Oreo ice cream is more than a trend – it’s a flavour combo that just works.
Here’s why:
- Creamy meets crunchy: The smoothness of ice cream perfectly complements the crisp bite of crushed Oreos.
- Classic flavours, better together: The cocoa-rich cookies pair beautifully with the sweet vanilla base.
- Customisation galore: Layer it, swirl it, sandwich it—Oreo ice cream is a blank canvas for dessert creativity.
The Ease Of No-Churn – Why This Recipe Works
When it comes to traditional ice cream making, crafting a custard base is the norm. While I still enjoy that process and use it often in many recipes, the convenience of no-churn ice creams is unbeatable.
The beauty of no-churn ice cream lies in its simplicity. You can even skip the ice cream maker and still achieve fantastic results. No need for mixing every few hours – simply whip up the mixture, freeze it until solid, and voila!
Our no-churn Oreo ice cream skips the fuss without sacrificing flavour:
- No ice cream maker needed
- Only three ingredients
- Ready to freeze in minutes
Just whip, fold, and freeze – then dive in, as simple as that!
With just three ingredients, this recipe couldn’t be simpler, and being that it’s no-churn, it’s much easier and faster to make, so you’ll be scoffing it, ahem sorry, we mean enjoying it in no time at all.
So let us share with you our easy no-churn recipe and method.
Easy No-Churn Oreo Ice Cream Recipe
Ingredients:
- 600ml double cream
- 1 can (397g) sweetened condensed milk
- 150g Oreo cookies (about 12 cookies), crushed into small pieces
Method:
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the double cream until it forms stiff peaks.
- Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk until fully combined. The condensed milk adds sweetness, so no additional sugar is required.
- Add the crushed Oreo cookies to the mixture and fold them in until evenly distributed.
- Tip: Crush them using a rolling pin in a ziplock bag or pulse in a food processor.
- Pour the mixture into a loaf tin or an airtight container, spreading it out evenly.
- Additional Tip (Optional): Sprinkle some extra crushed Oreos on top for added decoration and texture.
- Cover the tin or container with cling film or a lid and place it in the freezer.
- Allow the ice cream to freeze for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
- Once frozen, scoop the delicious homemade Oreo ice cream into bowls or cones, and enjoy. It’s as simple as that!
Our no-churn method creates a creamy and indulgent ice cream without the need for an ice cream maker. It’s perfect for satisfying those Oreo cravings on hot summer days or any time you need a sweet treat!
While the no-churn method may initially produce a firmer texture, just give it a few minutes at room temperature before scooping for a creamy consistency.

Hey there! I stumbled upon your Oreo ice cream recipe, and wow, what a gem! I mean, who doesn’t love the combo of Oreos and ice cream, right? Your article is like a step-by-step guide to ice cream heaven. I appreciate how you break down each part of the process, from making the base to folding in those irresistible Oreo chunks. It’s so clear and easy to follow, even for a kitchen newbie like me!
One thing that caught my eye was your suggestion to let the ice cream sit for a bit after churning. I’ve always been too impatient to wait, but now I’m curious—does it really make that much of a difference in texture? Also, have you ever experimented with different flavors or mix-ins besides Oreos? I’m thinking of getting creative with my next batch and would love some insider tips! Thanks again for sharing this deliciousness with the world—I’ll definitely be bookmarking this page for all my future ice cream cravings! 🍦😊
Hey Bob,
Thanks for dropping by and really appreciate your comment. So glad you like the article and recipe we have shared. As you say, who doesn’t love Oreos and Ice cream combined? It’s definitely a favourite of ours.
Very good to hear that the step-by-step instructions are super clear to follow. That’s what it’s all about for us, sharing our love for ice cream and making it accessible to all.
Allowing the ice cream to sit for a while doesn’t change the texture per se, simply that it allows it to soften a tad, prior to serving. Our article – Rock Solid Solutions: Why Is My Homemade Ice Cream So Hard? – delves into these more. explaining the problem of super hard ice cream, and offering tips on how you can address this, allowing the ice cream to sit for a few minutes is one of those tips. Though I fully understand that it can be ‘hard’ (boom boom) to wait.
Alternative mix-ins? Absolutely, there are so many mix-ins you could try.
Chocolate Chip Cookies: Classic chocolate chip cookies add a textural crunch and bursts of chocolatey deliciousness.
Peanut Butter Cups: Chopped peanut butter cups add a creamy, nutty flavour and a satisfying crunch.
Chopped Nuts: Whether it’s almonds, pecans, walnuts, or peanuts, chopped nuts add a satisfying crunch and a boost of protein.
Or one of our favourites – Cookie Dough: Chunks of edible cookie dough (without raw eggs) add a fun and nostalgic twist. Check out our article – Easy Homemade Cookie Dough Ice Cream Recipe – for full details on how to make this delicious favourite.
There are endless mix-ins you can try, these are just a few options.
Hoping these ideas have given you some inspiration!
