Instructions
Making Strawberry Oreo Ice Cream at home is straightforward. Follow these steps for a delightful result:
1. Prepare Strawberries: In a medium bowl, add the chopped strawberries and sprinkle 1 cup of granulated sugar over them. Toss to coat the strawberries evenly and let them sit for about 10-15 minutes to macerate.
2. Mash Strawberries: After letting the strawberries sit, mash them gently with a fork or potato masher to release more juices.
3. Combine Dairy Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
4. Add Strawberries: Pour the mashed strawberries into the mixture, stirring to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
5. Fold in Oreos: Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies, ensuring an even distribution throughout the ice cream base.
6. Transfer to a Container: Pour the mixture into an airtight container, leveling it off with a spatula.
7. Chill: Cover the container and place it in the freezer. Freeze for at least 6-8 hours, or overnight, until the ice cream is firm.
8. Enjoy: Once the chilling time is complete, scoop out your Strawberry Oreo Ice Cream, and serve!
Each step is essential in creating a smooth, luscious texture for your ice cream. The key is patience during the chilling process, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
