Homemade Ice Cream Recipes: Cookies and Cream. 

High up there on the list of favorites is the cookies and cream ice cream recipe.  I, like most, am a big Oreo fan at the best of times so mixing these little gems around in an ice cream mixture is the best. 

The recipe sets really well and is lovely and creamy with the added bonus of the crunchy Oreos inside which making this a fun one to eat for the kids also. 

Of course if you want to go the extra mile, you could make your own Cookies and crunch them up - there is a great recipe for homemade cookies that I've used in the past right here. 

Ingredients:
1 cup full cream milk
2 cups thickened cream
6 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
10-20 Oreo Cookies, crushed to a size of your liking


Directions:

1. In a medium sized saucepan combine cream, milk, sugar and bring to heat without boiling. Remove from heat and allow to sit for half hour or so.
2. In a medium bowl whisk your egg yolks very thoroughly. 
3. Once the cream & milk mixture had cooled, slowly add the eggs in to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat.
4. Once mixture has thickened enough to stick to the back of your spoon, remove from heat.  Add the vanilla extract, stir thoroughly through and then place in to the refigerator overnight. 
5. Pour mixture into an ice-cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions. Transfer ice cream to a container, cover and freeze.
