Richer and creamier than most store-bought varieties, our version of classic cookies and cream ice cream is quick and easy to put together. Our secret ingredient is amped-up vanilla extract (with flecks from the vanilla bean included!). The creamy vanilla ice cream base complements the rich, chocolate sandiwch cookies for a nostalgic taste of cookies and cream that's hard to beat.
Whisk together the milk and sugar, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla.
For best results, chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 1 hour before freezing.
Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions.
Stir the cookie chunks into the soft ice cream, and serve immediately.
For firmer ice cream, place soft ice cream in a covered container. Freeze for 2 to 3 hours, until the ice cream is as hard as you like. Note: Freezing longer than this will make the ice cream rock hard; plan on softening at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes or so before serving.
