My mom makes the best ice cream. Vanilla is usually the all-around favorite, but any time she adds fruit, cookies, or candy, it’s quite a delicious treat. Well, today my kiddos had the privilege of making Cookies ‘n Cream ice cream with Mimi. She agreed to share her recipe, which is super sweet!

We got almost everything we needed for the ice cream at Walmart, our one-stop shop this holiday season, including the Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker. (Mimi already had the Vanilla extract in her pantry.) We used all natural and organic ingredients, so it’s extra tasty.
You can make the vanilla ice cream base and add whatever your little heart desires. Try fresh strawberries after you try the Oreos. You can thank me later!
Here’s what you need:
2 organic eggs
1 cup sugar
2 3/4 cup half-and-half
1 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon real vanilla extract
Optional: 1-2 cups candy, fruit, or cookies
Here’s how you do it:
In a large bowl, beat eggs until thick. Beat in sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Stir in half-and-half, whipping cream, and vanilla. Pour into ice cream canister and mix according to machine’s directions. Add optional ingredients about 5 minutes before ending the churning. Freeze ice cream overnight.
We placed the container of ice cream in the freezer overnight, and devoured it all the next day. YUM!
