Ingredients
– 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
– 1 cup heavy whipping cream
– 1 cup whole milk
– ¾ cup granulated sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 10-15 Oreo cookies, crushed
– Pinch of salt
Instructions
Making Strawberry Oreo Ice Cream is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Strawberries: In a small bowl, mix the chopped strawberries with a tablespoon of sugar. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to release their juices.
2. Combine Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, remaining sugar, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt until the sugar dissolves completely.
3. Blend Strawberries: After the strawberries have rested, combine them with the cream mixture. Use a blender or immersion blender to gently mix until smooth, leaving some small chunks of strawberries for texture.
4. Fold in Oreos: Add the crushed Oreo cookies to the strawberry mixture and gently fold until well combined.
5. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least an hour. This allows the flavors to meld together.
6. Churn the Ice Cream: After chilling, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for churning. Typically, this takes about 20-30 minutes.
7. Freeze: Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container. Smooth the top and press a layer of plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent ice crystals.
8. Final Freeze: Place the container in the freezer for at least 2-3 hours or until firm.
9. Serve: Once frozen, scoop out your Strawberry Oreo Ice Cream and enjoy a scoop or two!
These steps will help you create a delightful homemade ice cream that is bursting with flavor and texture!
