Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • cups granulated sugar
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 cups half and half
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2-1 1/2 cups Cookies and Cream Sandwich Cookies, crushed based on preference

Instructions

  • Beat eggs and egg yolks in a medium sized bowl. Next add sugar to the bowl and whisk together.
  • Add heavy cream and half and half to a large pot and heat to boiling level. Remove from heat.
  • Slowly add three tablespoons of the hot milk mixture to the egg mixture to temper it and whisk together to combine. Then slowly add in the rest of the milk mixture and continue whisk the entire time to make sure it doesn't scramble.
  • Stir in vanilla extract.
  • Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours to chill completely.
  • Add your mixture to an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Once almost finished, pour crushed cookies and allow to mix in during last 2-3 minutes of churning.
  • Store in freezer while not serving.

Notes

To store, transfer your cookies and cream ice cream to an airtight container and pop it straight into the freezer. For optimal storage, press a piece of parchment paper directly onto the surface of the ice cream before sealing the container, to keep it ultra-smooth and ward off any ice crystals.
It will stay fresh for up to two months in the freezer.
