Cookies and cream ice cream recipe (for Rival Ice Cream Maker)

Ingredients

• 2 cups cold heavy cream
• 1 1/4 cups cold whole milk
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 16 - 20 chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos), coarsely crushed (about 2 cups of crumbs)
• Equipment
• Rival Electric Ice Cream Maker
• Large mixing bowl
• Whisk
• Freezer-safe container (for storing the ice cream)
• Crushed ice
• Rock salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the ice cream base:
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cold heavy cream, cold whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar is dissolved.
3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least one hour or, ideally, overnight, according to The Spruce Eats.
4. Prepare the ice cream maker:
5. Ensure the freezer bowl of your ice cream maker has been frozen solid for at least 12 hours, says lmld.org.
6. Place the ice cream canister into the Rival Ice Cream Maker bucket, ensuring it's centered and fits the indentation at the bottom.
7. Secure the motor drive onto the canister cover.
8. Churn the ice cream:
9. Pour the chilled ice cream base into the prepared ice cream maker canister. Fill it no more than three-quarters full, allowing for expansion during freezing.
10. Plug in the Rival Ice Cream Maker.
11. While it's running, begin layering crushed ice and rock salt around the canister in the bucket. Start with a 2-inch layer of crushed ice at the bottom, then sprinkle ¼ cup of rock salt over it.
12. Continue layering ice and salt until the ice reaches the top of the rotating canister.
13. The ice cream maker will churn for approximately 20-40 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the motor starts to slow down and eventually stops, according to a YouTube video.
14. Add the cookies:
15. During the last 5-10 minutes of churning, add the coarsely crushed chocolate sandwich cookies to the ice cream maker through the opening.
16. Let the ice cream churn for a few more minutes to ensure the cookies are well incorporated.
17. Freeze and harden:
18. Unplug the ice cream maker and remove the motor drive.
19. Carefully wipe away any ice and salt from the top of the canister before removing the lid.
20. Remove the dasher and scrape off any ice cream with a spatula.
21. Pack the soft ice cream down into the canister. For a harder, scoopable consistency, transfer it to a freezer-safe container with an airtight lid or cover the canister with plastic wrap.
22. Place the ice cream in the freezer for at least 2-3 hours or until firmly set. For best results, freeze overnight.
23. Serve and enjoy!
