Cookie Monster Ice Cream in the Ninja Creami

For this particular ice cream recipe, we’re creating an ice cream base out of heavy cream, whole milk, and sweetened condensed milk.

In my opinion, this is much easier than a custard-style gelato made with egg yolks.

And I always like to keep things simple!

Then adding some sky blue food coloring gives it the iconic color that matches our beloved character.

And of course, cookies!

We’re using two types, plus chocolate chips, for plenty of sweet goodness. Of course, feel free to customize the mix-ins according to your own preferences.

This is like a cookies and cream ice cream, but kicked up a couple of notches!

How to Make It:

Mix the base. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together heavy cream, whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and food coloring. Mix until well-combined.

Freeze. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, being careful not to exceed the max fill line, and close the lid. Place the pint on a level surface in your freezer for at least 24 hours.

Spin. Remove the container from the freezer and take off the lid. Place the container into the Ninja Creami machine’s outer bowl.

Secure the outer bowl lid and lock the bowl apparatus into the machine.

Press the Ice Cream button and allow it the cycle to complete.

Re-spin if needed. Remove the container from the machine and check to see if the ice cream’s texture is crumbly.

If it is, insert it back into the machine and use the Re-spin button to process it again.

Add cookies. Use a knife or spoon to create a well in the center of the ice cream that’s about 1.5-inches wide and extends all the way to the bottom of the pint container.

Add in 1/4 cup of chopped cookies (half Oreo pieces, half Chips Ahoy pieces), along with the 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips.

Lock the outer bowl lid into place again and secure the outer bowl into the Ninja Creami ice cream maker.

Press the Mix-in button and allow the pieces to be incorporated.

The pieces will break up into smaller bits during the Mix-in process.

This will give some added crunch to the ice cream and add to its cookie goodness!

Notes and Adaptations:

Feel free to change up the types of cookies used as mix-ins, depending on your preferences. You can also omit the mini chocolate chips and add more cookies, if desired.
Be sure to use sweetened condensed milk, not evaporated milk.
If serving leftovers, you may need to let the container sit out at room temperature for about 5-10 minute to soften slightly before scooping.
