Oreo Ice Cream Ninja Creami – Ultra Creamy and Easy to Make

There’s something undeniably magical about making your own ice cream at home. The anticipation. The creamy texture. The ability to customize every last bite. And when it comes to creamy, dreamy, cookies-and-cream goodness, Oreo ice cream is the undisputed champion of nostalgic, sweet indulgence. Whether it’s summer, a cozy winter movie night, or just a “because I can” kind of day, this homemade Oreo ice cream made with the Ninja Creami brings all the comfort and flavor you could ever ask for.

I first made this recipe on a random weeknight, just experimenting with the Ninja Creami after it was gifted to me during the holidays. Let’s just say I didn’t expect the first batch to blow me away—but it did. One spoonful and I was hooked. It tasted like a mashup between a creamy milkshake and the center of a cookies-and-cream sandwich. Not too sweet, perfectly rich, and with just the right balance of crunch and cream.

If you’re new to homemade ice cream or just getting started with your Ninja Creami, don’t worry. This recipe is incredibly beginner-friendly and doesn’t require any fancy cooking skills or complicated ingredients. You’re just a few simple steps and a handful of pantry staples away from the kind of dessert that makes people think, “Wait, you made this?”

Even better, this Oreo ice cream is a blank canvas. You can add extra cookie bits, swirl in chocolate fudge, or even toss in chopped nuts for some texture. But honestly? It’s perfect just the way it is.

So, if you’re ready to indulge your sweet tooth and impress your family or friends—or just treat yourself—let’s dive into why this recipe deserves a spot in your dessert rotation.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

There’s something truly irresistible about this homemade Oreo ice cream, and once you try it, you’ll understand exactly why it’s become a go-to treat in so many households. First and foremost, the flavor is spot on. The combination of rich cream, smooth vanilla, and crunchy chocolate cookies is classic, but when you make it yourself, it becomes something even more special. It’s not just a dessert—it’s an experience.

One of the best parts about this recipe is how approachable it is. You don’t need an ice cream maker that churns for hours or ingredients that are hard to pronounce. With the Ninja Creami and just five basic components, you can whip up something that tastes like it came straight from your favorite ice cream shop. It’s as simple as mix, freeze, spin, and enjoy.

This recipe also allows for full control over what goes into your dessert. If you’re trying to cut back on sugar, you can reduce the sweetness a bit. If you’re lactose-sensitive, you can swap in dairy-free milk and cream alternatives. You can even go wild with mix-ins beyond Oreos—think chopped strawberries, caramel drizzle, or even a sprinkle of sea salt for contrast.

Plus, there’s something undeniably fun about using the Ninja Creami. Watching your frozen base transform into scoopable, velvety ice cream with just a spin or two is incredibly satisfying. And because it’s such a quick process once the base is frozen, you can have fresh, creamy ice cream anytime the craving strikes.

Lastly, it’s just a crowd-pleaser. Kids love it, adults sneak spoonfuls from the freezer, and it makes any occasion a little more special. Whether you’re serving it at a birthday party, dishing it up after dinner, or enjoying it solo on the couch with your favorite show, this Oreo ice cream never disappoints.

Health Benefits

While ice cream might not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of healthy eating, making it at home does offer some benefits that are worth noting. When you prepare your own frozen treats, you have the advantage of knowing exactly what’s going into your body. No preservatives, no artificial flavorings, and no hidden high-fructose syrups—just real, familiar ingredients.

Let’s start with the dairy. Whole milk and heavy cream not only give this ice cream its signature richness but also provide a decent source of calcium, which is essential for strong bones and teeth. Additionally, dairy products contain important vitamins like vitamin D and B12, both of which play vital roles in maintaining a healthy immune system and energy levels.

The sugar content, while present, is something you can easily control. If you’re looking to reduce your intake, you can substitute some or all of the granulated sugar with natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute that fits your dietary needs. And because you’re making it yourself, you can choose high-quality ingredients with fewer additives and better nutritional value.

Oreo cookies, while indulgent, also add an enjoyable crunch and that iconic chocolate-vanilla flavor combo that many people crave. You can even opt for reduced-sugar or organic sandwich cookies to lighten up the mix-in portion without sacrificing flavor.

Moreover, the mental and emotional health benefits of treating yourself to something you made with your own hands shouldn’t be overlooked. Cooking, even in simple forms like this, can be incredibly rewarding and therapeutic. Sharing homemade ice cream with your loved ones, or simply enjoying a scoop after a long day, can help reduce stress and promote a sense of comfort.

So, while this Oreo ice cream is definitely a treat, it’s one that can fit into a balanced lifestyle. And knowing you made it yourself—with care, intention, and real ingredients—makes it that much more satisfying.

Preparation Time, Servings, and Nutritional Information

One of the best things about this recipe is how little hands-on time it actually requires. While the base does need to freeze for a full 24 hours before spinning, the actual prep work takes less than 10 minutes. That means you can whip up the base in the morning or even right before bed, and by the next day, you’re only one button push away from fresh, creamy Oreo ice cream.

Here’s a breakdown of what to expect in terms of time and servings:

Preparation Time:

  • Mixing the base: 5–7 minutes
  • Freezing time: 24 hours (hands-off)
  • Spinning and mix-in: 5–10 minutes

Total Time: About 24 hours and 15 minutes (with most of that being passive freezing time)

Servings: Makes about 1 pint, which typically yields 2 to 3 generous servings

Nutritional Information (per serving):

  • Calories: Approximately 330
  • Total Fat: 22g
  • Saturated Fat: 13g
  • Carbohydrates: 30g
  • Sugar: 24g
  • Protein: 3g
  • Calcium: 10% of daily recommended intake

Keep in mind that these numbers are estimates and can vary depending on the exact brands and quantities you use, especially if you make substitutions. If you add extra cookies or use low-fat dairy alternatives, the nutritional profile will adjust accordingly.

This recipe makes it easy to treat yourself without overindulging, especially since the richness of the ice cream makes a small serving feel extra satisfying. And since it’s portioned into a single pint, it’s perfect for enjoying in moderation or splitting with someone you love.

Ingredients List

What’s especially great about this recipe is its simplicity. You only need a few staple ingredients to create something that tastes like it took hours to make. Each one plays an essential role in achieving that creamy, dreamy texture and flavor we all love in a good Oreo ice cream.

Here’s everything you’ll need to make 1 pint:

  • 1 cup whole milk – This serves as the base of your ice cream, offering a balance of richness and lightness. Whole milk keeps the texture smooth without becoming overly heavy.
  • ¾ cup heavy whipping cream – This is where the luscious creaminess comes in. Heavy cream gives your ice cream body and that velvety mouthfeel.
  • ½ cup granulated sugar – Just the right amount to sweeten the mix without overpowering it. It also helps with the soft, scoopable texture by lowering the freezing point.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Adds warmth and depth, tying all the flavors together. Opt for pure vanilla extract for the best flavor.
  • 4 Oreo cookies, crushed – These are the star of the show. The chocolate cookies soften slightly in the ice cream, while the cream filling adds extra sweetness. You can crush them by hand or with a rolling pin for larger chunks.

If you’d like to make your ice cream even more indulgent, you can include a few extra Oreos during the mix-in step after spinning. The great thing about this recipe is that you can customize the amount to your taste—go light for a subtle cookie flavor or load it up for a chunky cookies-and-cream experience.

Now that your ingredients are ready, let’s walk through exactly how to bring this recipe to life with your Ninja Creami.

Step-By-Step Cooking Instructions

Let’s get into the heart of this recipe—the process. This Oreo ice cream recipe is incredibly easy to follow, even if you’ve never made ice cream at home before. Thanks to the Ninja Creami, you can achieve a thick, creamy, scoopable dessert without an ice cream maker or hours of manual churning. Whether this is your first batch or your fiftieth, the following steps will help you get it right every single time.

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients and Tools

Before you start mixing, it’s always a good idea to set everything out on the counter. This helps prevent any last-minute scrambles, especially if you realize you’re out of something essential.

You’ll need:

  • Whole milk
  • Heavy whipping cream
  • Granulated sugar
  • Vanilla extract
  • Oreo cookies
  • A medium mixing bowl or blender
  • A spoon or whisk
  • Ninja Creami pint container with lid
  • Ninja Creami machine

Make sure the Ninja Creami container is clean and dry before you begin. Having everything ready will make the mixing process go smoothly.

Step 2: Combine the Ice Cream Base

In your mixing bowl or blender, combine the 1 cup of whole milk, ¾ cup of heavy whipping cream, ½ cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

If using a blender:

  • Blend on low speed for 15–20 seconds, or until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  • The mixture should look smooth, with no visible grains of sugar.

If using a bowl:

  • Whisk vigorously by hand for about 1–2 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
  • Be sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl to make sure no sugar settles there.

At this stage, your mixture should be rich and velvety. Take a quick taste—just a spoonful—to make sure the sweetness and vanilla are to your liking. If you prefer a slightly sweeter or more vanilla-forward flavor, feel free to adjust.

Step 3: Transfer to the Ninja Creami Container

Once your base is fully mixed and smooth, carefully pour it into the Ninja Creami pint container. Make sure not to fill beyond the MAX fill line. The base needs room to expand as it freezes, and overfilling could cause issues during the spinning process.

Wipe the rim of the container to ensure a clean seal, then place the lid on tightly.

Step 4: Freeze the Base

Now comes the hardest part—waiting. Place the container on a flat surface in your freezer, like a shelf, to ensure it freezes evenly. Do not tilt or stack anything on top of it.

The base needs to freeze solid for at least 24 hours. This step is crucial. The Ninja Creami is designed to work with a fully frozen base. If the mixture is even slightly soft or slushy, the spinning process won’t produce the right texture.

During this time, you don’t need to do anything—just let the freezer do its magic.

Step 5: Prepare for Spinning

After 24 hours, remove the container from the freezer. It should be completely solid to the touch. If it feels even a little soft, give it more time to freeze.

Next, remove the lid and place the pint container into the Ninja Creami’s outer bowl. Secure the bowl’s lid according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lock it into the machine.

Select the “Ice Cream” function and let the machine run through the cycle. This usually takes about 2 minutes. You’ll hear the machine working hard—it’s shaving and mixing the frozen base into that soft, creamy texture you’re after.

Step 6: Assess the Texture

Once the cycle is complete, unlock and remove the bowl from the machine. Open the lid and take a look at your ice cream.

If it looks smooth and scoopable—perfect. If it appears crumbly or powdery, don’t worry. This is totally normal on the first spin.

To fix this:

  • Replace the bowl and lid, lock it back into the Ninja Creami, and run a “Re-spin” cycle.
  • After the second spin, the texture should be just right: rich, creamy, and scoopable.

This extra spin step ensures your ice cream reaches that dreamy consistency.

Step 7: Add the Oreo Cookies

Now for the best part—the cookies.

Take 4 Oreo cookies and crush them by hand, with a rolling pin, or in a small zip-top bag. You can make them as fine or chunky as you like. If you love big chunks of cookie, don’t crush them too much. For a more uniform texture, go finer.

Using a spoon, make a small well in the center of the ice cream and drop in the crushed cookies. Avoid overloading the container—about 4 Oreos is the sweet spot.

Place the bowl back into the Ninja Creami and select the “Mix-In” function. This setting gently incorporates your cookie pieces without breaking them down too much.

After the cycle finishes, open the lid and give the ice cream a quick stir with a spoon. You’ll notice those signature swirls of cookie bits throughout.

Step 8: Serve and Enjoy

Now you’re ready to enjoy your masterpiece.

Use an ice cream scoop to serve into bowls or cones. If you’re not eating it right away, place the lid back on and return the container to the freezer. Just keep in mind that you may need to run a re-spin cycle before your next serving to get that creamy texture back.

You can top your scoops with more crushed Oreos, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, or even a dollop of whipped cream. Or keep it simple and classic—because honestly, it’s delicious all on its own.

Now that you’ve mastered the process, let’s talk about how to serve it in ways that make this dessert really shine.

Oreo ice cream

How to Serve

There’s no wrong way to serve Oreo ice cream, but the right presentation can elevate the entire experience. Whether you’re going for casual or dressed-up, this creamy dessert adapts beautifully to every setting.

For a simple after-dinner dessert, scoop the ice cream into individual bowls and serve with a spoonful of extra crushed Oreos on top. That extra texture is always a crowd-pleaser and gives your dessert that classic cookies-and-cream finish.

If you’re feeling fancy or hosting a gathering, serve it in parfait glasses layered with crumbled cookies and whipped cream for a cookies-and-cream parfait. This not only looks impressive but also adds height and contrast to your dessert presentation.

You can also turn your ice cream into a full dessert experience by serving it between two chocolate chip cookies for a homemade ice cream sandwich. Or place a scoop on top of a warm brownie for the ultimate hot-and-cold combo that guests will rave about.

For kids, serve smaller scoops in waffle cones or colorful dessert cups with sprinkles. You could even create a mini “ice cream bar” setup with mix-ins like mini marshmallows, chopped chocolate, caramel sauce, and more Oreos. It’s a fun activity that doubles as dessert.

If you prefer a more traditional route, simply enjoy your ice cream with a classic side like a fresh-baked chocolate chip cookie or a small slice of pound cake. The cool, creamy texture pairs beautifully with soft, buttery baked goods.

However you choose to serve it, don’t forget to keep your ice cream cold until right before serving. The Ninja Creami version melts a bit faster than store-bought kinds, but that just makes it all the more decadent to eat fresh.

Now that you’ve got serving ideas, let’s explore a few delicious ways to pair this ice cream for a full dessert experience.

Pairing Suggestions

Pairing your homemade Oreo ice cream with the right side dishes, drinks, or desserts can elevate it from a simple scoop to a full-on dessert experience. Whether you’re planning a casual family night or a fancier dinner with guests, thoughtful pairings can highlight the rich, creamy flavor and contrast the sweet cookie crunch with something complementary.

Let’s start with baked goods. One of the best pairings for Oreo ice cream is something warm and soft—think gooey brownies, soft chocolate chip cookies, or even warm banana bread. The warmth of the baked item combined with the cold creaminess of the ice cream creates a contrast that’s both comforting and indulgent. You can place a scoop directly on top, let it melt slightly, and enjoy that delicious hot-and-cold balance.

If you’re a fan of contrast in textures, you might enjoy your ice cream with something crispy. A simple option is to serve it in a waffle cone or sugar cone. Not only do cones add crunch, but they also bring a nostalgic touch that makes eating ice cream feel even more special. Alternatively, try crumbling crisp meringue cookies over the top for a sweet, airy crunch.

Fruit can also be a surprising but delightful pairing. Because Oreo ice cream is rich and sweet, fresh berries like strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries can offer a tart, juicy contrast. A spoonful of berry compote or a swirl of raspberry sauce can cut through the creaminess and add a layer of freshness to the dish.

For those looking to serve a full dessert platter, consider offering Oreo ice cream alongside a scoop of another flavor like vanilla bean, mint, or even coffee. This gives your guests a chance to mix and match or enjoy complementary flavors that balance each other. For example, coffee ice cream adds depth, while vanilla brings out the Oreo cookie notes even more.

Now, let’s talk beverages. Ice cream and drinks might not seem like an obvious pairing, but when done right, it can make for a luxurious treat. A warm beverage, such as a rich cup of decaf coffee or a homemade hot chocolate, works wonders. The warmth balances the cold of the ice cream, and the roasted notes in coffee pair especially well with the cocoa flavor of Oreos.

If you’re looking for a non-caffeinated option, try serving your Oreo ice cream with a glass of almond milk, oat milk, or even a chilled chai latte. The spices from chai offer a delightful twist when contrasted with the sweetness of the dessert.

Lastly, you can use this ice cream as the base for your own Oreo milkshake. Just scoop a few generous spoonfuls into a blender, add a splash of milk, and blend until smooth. Pour into a tall glass, top with whipped cream and crushed cookies, and you’ve got a milkshake that tastes like something straight out of a retro diner.

Now that you know what to pair with this creamy treat, let’s go over how to store it so every scoop stays as delicious as the first.

Storage, Freezing & Reheating Instructions

Homemade ice cream is a little more delicate than store-bought, but with proper storage, you can keep it tasting fresh and creamy for several days—or even weeks. The trick is to store it correctly and know how to bring it back to life when it’s time to enjoy another scoop.

After you’ve made and enjoyed your initial serving, replace the lid tightly on the Ninja Creami pint container and place it back in the freezer. Try to store it flat to avoid uneven freezing. If you’ve transferred it to another airtight container, make sure it’s freezer-safe and sealed well. Air exposure is the number one cause of freezer burn, which can dull the flavor and make the texture icy.

This ice cream is best when eaten within 7–10 days of making it. After that, it may start to lose some of its creamy texture, especially if it’s exposed to temperature fluctuations from repeated freezing and thawing.

When you’re ready to enjoy it again, remove the pint from the freezer. If it’s hard and icy, don’t panic—that’s totally normal. This is where the Ninja Creami works its magic again. Just pop the pint back into the outer bowl, reattach the lid, and run a Re-spin cycle. This will restore its creamy texture and make it soft and scoopable again.

If you’ve added additional mix-ins like fudge swirls, fruit, or extra cookies, avoid re-spinning too many times. Repeated spins can sometimes break down delicate mix-ins or overwork the texture. In that case, try letting it sit at room temperature for about 5–10 minutes to soften naturally.

Avoid microwaving the container to soften your ice cream. While it might seem faster, the Ninja Creami pint containers aren’t microwave-safe, and this can lead to uneven melting or even damage.

If you want to make a big batch and save extra containers for later, go ahead and prep multiple pints at once. Just mix your base, pour it into several pint containers, and freeze them all together. This way, you’ll always have a backup pint of Oreo goodness waiting in the freezer, ready to spin whenever a craving hits.

For long-term storage, label your containers with the date made and flavor. Even though it’s tempting to keep pints indefinitely, the best flavor and texture come within the first few weeks.

With your storage plan in place, let’s talk about a few common mistakes to avoid so your next batch turns out just right.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Even though this Oreo ice cream recipe is simple, a few small missteps can affect the outcome. The good news? Most of these mistakes are totally avoidable with a little planning and attention to detail. Here are some of the most common issues people run into and how to steer clear of them.

1. Not freezing the base long enough

One of the most critical steps in this recipe is freezing the base for a full 24 hours. If the base isn’t frozen solid, the Ninja Creami won’t be able to spin it properly, resulting in a texture that’s icy or slushy rather than smooth and creamy. Always give the mixture a full day in the freezer, and make sure it’s on a level surface to freeze evenly.

2. Overfilling the container

It might be tempting to add a little extra milk or cream to make more ice cream, but don’t go above the MAX fill line on the pint container. The mixture needs space to expand as it freezes, and overfilling can cause the lid to pop off or the base to freeze unevenly.

3. Not dissolving the sugar completely

Whether you use a blender or whisk by hand, make sure the sugar is fully dissolved in the milk and cream mixture before freezing. If you skip this step, the sugar can crystallize in the freezer and create a gritty texture.

4. Adding cookies too early

Resist the urge to mix in the Oreos before freezing the base. If added too early, the cookies will absorb liquid, become soggy, and lose their crunch. For the best texture, always wait until after the first spin to add crushed Oreos using the “Mix-In” function.

5. Skipping the re-spin when needed

Sometimes the first spin doesn’t result in a perfectly creamy texture, especially if the base is extra cold. If your ice cream looks crumbly or dry after the initial cycle, don’t hesitate to run a re-spin. It’s a built-in feature designed exactly for this purpose.

By keeping these common mistakes in mind, you’ll set yourself up for success every time you make a batch of Ninja Creami Oreo ice cream.

Now let’s take your ice cream-making skills to the next level with some pro tips.

Pro Tips

Even though this recipe is easy and beginner-friendly, a few professional tricks can help you take your Oreo ice cream to the next level. These small but impactful tips will not only improve the texture and flavor of your ice cream but also make the entire process smoother and more enjoyable from start to finish.

1. Use room-temperature ingredients when mixing the base

Starting with cold milk and cream might seem like the obvious choice, but using room-temperature ingredients helps the sugar dissolve faster and more completely. This leads to a smoother mixture and better texture once frozen. So, if you’ve just pulled your milk or cream from the fridge, let it sit on the counter for 10–15 minutes before mixing.

2. Chill the mixture before freezing (if time allows)

Although not necessary, chilling the base in the fridge for an hour or two before pouring it into the Ninja Creami pint container can help improve texture. This slight pre-chill gives the mixture a head start in the freezing process and can prevent small ice crystals from forming.

3. Don’t over-crush your cookies

While it might be tempting to pulverize your Oreos into fine crumbs, leaving a few larger chunks makes for a more satisfying bite. Try breaking the cookies by hand or using a rolling pin to crush them inside a zip-top bag. This gives you better control over the size of the pieces and keeps the mix-ins texturally interesting.

4. Customize the sweetness to your preference

If you prefer your ice cream less sweet, you can reduce the sugar by a tablespoon or two without compromising the texture too much. Alternatively, try using a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup, keeping in mind these may subtly change the flavor.

5. Keep multiple pints in rotation

If you find yourself reaching for this recipe over and over again (which you likely will), consider investing in extra Ninja Creami pint containers. This way, you can prep multiple bases at once and keep a few different flavors in the freezer. It’s a great way to experiment with variations and always have something delicious ready to spin.

6. Add a pinch of salt

A tiny pinch of salt in the ice cream base can enhance the sweetness and bring out the flavors of the cream and cookies. It might seem small, but it makes a noticeable difference in the depth and richness of the final product.

7. Use pure vanilla extract

Skip the imitation vanilla and use the real deal. Pure vanilla extract adds a warm, deep aroma and flavor that can elevate even the simplest ice cream recipes. It may cost a bit more, but the results are worth it.

8. Don’t be afraid to experiment

Once you’ve mastered this recipe, use it as a jumping-off point for your own creations. Swap Oreos for another cookie, stir in a caramel or peanut butter swirl, or add mini chocolate chips. The Ninja Creami makes it easy to get creative without a lot of risk.

By incorporating these tips into your process, you’ll not only get consistently better results but also build confidence in your ability to create amazing frozen desserts at home.

Now, let’s answer some of the most frequently asked questions to help troubleshoot any concerns and offer even more helpful guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I use low-fat milk instead of whole milk?

Yes, you can substitute low-fat or even nonfat milk, but keep in mind that the texture may be less creamy and more icy. Whole milk provides a better mouthfeel and richness, which pairs beautifully with the cookies. If you must use a lighter milk, consider adding a little extra cream to balance it out.

Is it possible to make this dairy-free?

Absolutely. You can substitute the milk and cream with plant-based options like oat milk, almond milk, or coconut cream. Oat milk is a great choice for creaminess, while coconut cream offers a rich texture and a subtle tropical flavor. Just remember to use a dairy-free cookie alternative if needed.

Can I use another type of cookie besides Oreos?

Yes, this recipe is incredibly versatile. You can swap Oreos for other sandwich cookies, chocolate chip cookies, graham crackers, or even peanut butter cookies. Each variation will bring a unique flavor and texture, so feel free to experiment.

What if I don’t have a Ninja Creami?

While this recipe is specifically designed for the Ninja Creami, you could try using a traditional ice cream maker. Follow the same mixing and chilling process, then churn according to your machine’s instructions. The texture might differ slightly, but the flavors will still shine through.

Can I make the base ahead of time and freeze later?

Definitely. You can mix the base and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours before freezing it. This gives you some flexibility if you’re prepping in advance or making multiple flavors.

My ice cream came out too hard. What went wrong?

This often happens if the base wasn’t spun properly or if the freezer was set very low. Always run a re-spin if your ice cream comes out crumbly or too firm. If it’s still too hard, let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before scooping.

How many mix-ins can I add?

You can add about ¼ to ½ cup of mix-ins safely without overloading the Ninja Creami. Stick to dry or semi-dry ingredients like cookies, chocolate chips, or nuts. Avoid heavy sauces or liquids unless they’re swirled in after spinning.

Can I double the recipe?

The recipe is designed for a single Ninja Creami pint container, so doubling it isn’t recommended for one container. However, you can easily mix a larger batch and divide it between two pint containers to freeze separately.

Can I make this sugar-free?

Yes, you can use a sugar substitute like monk fruit sweetener, erythritol, or stevia. Be sure to use a substitute that measures like sugar and is suitable for freezing. The texture may vary slightly, but the ice cream will still be enjoyable.

Why is the mix-in step done separately?

Adding the cookies during the mix-in step ensures they stay crunchy and evenly distributed. If added too early, they’ll become soggy or settle at the bottom. The “Mix-In” function is specifically designed to fold in chunky ingredients without breaking them down.

These questions cover the most common concerns and adjustments for this recipe. Now, let’s wrap things up with a few final thoughts and a warm invitation to give this recipe a try in your own kitchen.

Conclusion & Call to Action
