Ingredients
Scale
Ice Cream Base
- 14 oz (1 3/4 cups) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 tsp peppermint extract
Mix-ins
- 10 Oreos, chopped (plus more for garnish if desired)
- 1/2 cup crushed candy canes (plus more for garnish if desired)
Instructions
- Prepare Pan: Line an 8×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the ice cream once frozen.
- Mix Flavorings and Sweetened Condensed Milk: In a medium bowl, stir together the vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and sweetened condensed milk until fully combined to create a flavorful base.
- Whip Heavy Cream: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer with a whisk attachment (or a stand mixer with whisk attachment) until medium-stiff peaks form, ensuring a light and airy texture.
- Fold Mixtures Together: Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream until smooth and well incorporated, taking care not to deflate the whipped cream.
- Add Mix-ins: Carefully fold in the chopped Oreos and crushed candy canes, evenly distributing the cookies and minty candy pieces throughout the ice cream base.
- Freeze: Pour the combined mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Optionally, top with extra Oreos and crushed candy canes for garnish. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 8 hours or until firm.
- Serve: When ready to serve, if the ice cream is too hard to scoop, allow it to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier serving.
Notes
- For best texture, ensure the heavy cream is whipped to medium-stiff peaks, not overwhipped.
- Use parchment paper to line the pan for easy removal and clean edges.
- You can substitute candy canes with peppermint candies if desired.
- Store leftover ice cream in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.
- If the ice cream becomes too hard over time, let it sit out for a few minutes before scooping.
