Cookies and Cream Ice Cream

The best thing about making your own ice cream is that you get to choose how much of each add-in you want. Breyers has it all wrong – I actually do want a lot of crushed oreos in my cookies and cream ice cream. And take a look at that store bought ice cream carton ingredient list – 25 ingredients to make ice cream? That’s just wrong. All you need is 5 – to get the creamiest dreamiest oreo ice cream.
