Ingredients
Ice Cream Base
- 2 cups organic heavy cream, VERY COLD
- 1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup almond milk
Add-ins
- 1 package Oreo cookies (about 14-15 cookies), crushed
- 1/2 to 1 cup salted caramel sauce, store-bought or homemade
Instructions
- Blend the Ice Cream Base: In a high-powered blender, combine the very cold heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
- Assemble the Ice Cream: Immediately pour the ice cream mixture into a 9x5 inch loaf pan (you can also use a round metal bowl or cake pan).
- Create the Caramel Swirl: Drizzle half of the salted caramel sauce over the ice cream base. Use a spatula or spoon to gently swirl the caramel throughout, creating a marbled effect.
- Add Oreo Cookies: Sprinkle half of the crushed Oreo cookies on top of the mixture, folding them gently into the ice cream batter to distribute evenly.
- Top with Remaining Caramel and Oreos: Spoon the remaining salted caramel sauce on top, followed by the rest of the crushed Oreos. Avoid overmixing to maintain the swirl and chunks of cookies.
- Freeze: Cover the pan tightly with foil or heavy-duty plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the ice cream to set fully.
- Serve: Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop and enjoy your creamy, salted caramel Oreo delight.
- Enjoy: Grab a spoon and savor the rich, creamy, and crunchy textures layered with caramel sweetness!
Notes
- Use a high-powered blender to ensure smooth mixing of heavy cream and condensed milk.
- Make sure the heavy cream is very cold to help with the texture and thickness of the ice cream.
- Store-bought salted caramel sauce works well, but homemade caramel adds a more personalized flavor.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of salted caramel sauce to your preferred sweetness level.
- This recipe does not require an ice cream maker, making it perfect for easy and quick preparation.
- Allow the ice cream to soften slightly before scooping for easiest serving.
