Recipe : Homemade Ice Cream with Oreo Cookies

When I was little I remember my mom making homemade ice cream, Oreo homemade ice cream in fact, and it was the BEST stuff on the PLANET! It really was amazing because my mom is awesome at baking! The cool thing was that we didn't have an ice cream maker,  and we still got ice cream! These days if you catch a good sale at the super market you can pick up ice cream cheaper than you can make it, but you are only limited to the selection they have available. You could always go to DQ, Baskin Robbins, or Orange Leaf too for good ice cream. My all time favorite hands down "store bought" has to be from Culver's, but the caloric intake is thru the roof, which is why it tastes SO GOOD! This stuff, in my humble opinion, and if memory serves me right is just as good.  I called my mom up and asked her for the recipe she used to use way back in the day. She sent me the link you see below. So I figured since it's been warm the last couple of days that I would give home made ice cream a go! So here's our findings! 

Ingredients:

3 egg yolks

1 (14oz.) can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk

2 Tbsp water

4 tsp vanilla extract

1 Cup (or more) crushed Oreos

2 Cups whipping cream

I whip up the whipping cream first.

Whip it until stiff peaks start to form.

Go ahead and set this aside.

Add your 3 egg yolks.

Your Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk.

Add your water, and your vanilla and mix well.

Crush up your Oreo's. I definitely did more than 1 cup!!!

Add your whipped cream and stir well, line your 2 quart dish with foil.
I don't think you NEED to do this, but I've never tried it without the foil.

Cover it, and put into the freezer for at least 6 hours. 12 is better.

My memory DID NOT LIE - it was AWESOME! 

This stuff really is the best because I don't have the space or the time to house, and use an ice cream maker. The salt gets messy and the cold ice water is a wicked pain in the dupa! With this recipe you can seriously put anything into this mix…think about it…Girl Scout COOKIES! You could make your own Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookie Ice Cream whenever you wanted if you stocked up on Thin Mints for the whole year! A-MAZING! Red Velvet Ice Cream for my sister! The possibilities are endless!
