This no-churn Triple Cookies n’ Cream Ice Cream is infused with rich Cookies ‘N’ Creme Hershey bars and stuffed with Oreos and Oreo candy bars!
As far as ice cream flavors go, I tend to lean toward the more extravagant/nontraditional ones that are loaded with goodies, swirls of whatever, and infused with you name it. You won’t see me reaching for the Strawberry, Butter Pecan, or Cookies N’ Cream at the grocery store. That’s just not my style. Speaking of boring flavors, who willingly asks for Spumoni or Neopolitan? Like, what in the heck even is that??
Lately, however, I’ve been having a huge craving for Cookies N’ Cream ice cream. More specifically, I’ve been really craving that softened Oreo texture. Don’t ask me why I’m such a weirdo, but there’s just something about biting into a soft, bittersweet Oreo surrounded by the creamy and subtle sweetness of vanilla ice cream. And seeing as how my pantry has pretty much evolved into a metropolis of Oreos (I have connections), I figured there was no better time than the present to create something Oreo-licious.
As the title suggests, this ice cream has TRIPLE the Cookies N’ Cream amazingness. When I said I like my ice creams loaded, I meant it.
Not only is this ice cream brimming with hunks of Oreos, but it’s also infused with the richness of Hershey’s Cookies ‘N’ Creme chocolate bars and stuffed with some of these deliciously addictive Oreo chocolate candy bars.
If you’ve seen my Birthday Cake Oreo Truffle Ice Cream or my Circus Animal Cookie Ice Cream, you KNOW I don’t fool around when it comes to ice cream.
Like I said, I prefer the flavors that take things up a few million baJillian notches, which is exactly what I did with the ordinary ice cream staple, Cookies N’ Cream. I gave it a much-needed drag makeover by adding more flavors and more textures. RuPaul would be so proud. That is, if he judged ice creams…
Thanks to the fact that this is a no-churn ice cream, you won’t need any special equipment to make it. AND you only need 5 ingredients! Yay!
The base of the ice cream is simple. Just whip up 2 cups of heavy cream until thick and fluffy. In a separate bowl, you’ll mix together some sweetened condensed milk and some of those yummy Hershey Cookies N’ Creme bars that have been melted.
Once combined, fold in the whipped cream, and that’s it for the base! Instead of just mixing the chunks of Oreos and Oreo chocolate bars into the ice cream, I layered them in by pouring a third of the custard into the pan, sprinkling a third of the cookies and candies on top, and so on. I find that the less you have to mix/stir this ice cream, the fluffier it stays. Freeze it overnight (or at least 8 hours) to allow the ice cream to harden and the Oreos to soften into that wonderful bliss-worthy texture.
Aside from how easy they are to make, what I love about no-churn ice cream recipes is that they’re so unbelievably creamy. I love the white chocolatey sweetness that the melted Cookies ‘N’ Creme white chocolate bars add to the custard along with the tiny crunchy cookie bits mixed throughout the ice cream.
The creamy milk chocolatey chunks of those delicious Oreo chocolate bars makes this heavenly ice cream even more decadent when combined with the hefty hunks of Oreo cookies.
Yes, this is exactly what I had in mind when I was craving some Cookies N’ Cream Ice Cream…
Exactly.

OMG!!! This has never been done! Patent this ice cream now before B&J’s steal it from you. I just don’t know what is better: this ice cream or Miss Georgia? You are such an amazing talent, Jillian–those accents, the necklaces, your full-of-energy-for-life attitude that comes through your videos and blog is just a pleasure to visit every week. Keep flying high.
Hahaha, you do have a point with the patent idea, Amanda! There could be B&J spies ALL OVER the Internet!! Thank you so very much for being such a fan of both my food blog and my silly videos.
