How crazy insane do these look? Â Yes, cookies & cream macaron shells with white chocolate drizzle filled with an extra chocolatey cookies & cream ice cream. Â It’s an Oreo lover’s dream!
These were inspired by another YouTuber who I teamed up with to make these decadent dessert treats. Â Ashley Anixter is the queen of macarons. If you’re not familiar with macarons, they’re a refined, light, and lovely cookie treat that takes a bit of patience and practice to master. Â Ashley reinvents them with all sorts of creative flavors on her channel so be sure to subscribe!
You’ll see the ice cream I made doesn’t look like typical cookies & cream. Â The reason is that I ground the cookies finely and mixed them in with the base, so that it looks like chocolate ice cream, but it tastes like a frozen Oreo.
For our collaboration, she made the macarons on her channel and I made the ice cream on mine and at the end of both of our videos, we show how to put it all together.

Description
A decadent cookies & cream treat with ice cream and French macarons.
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup cream
- 5 yolks
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 12 oreos finely ground
Instructions
- Combine the milk and cream in a heavy bottomed pan over medium high heat and bring to a slow simmer.
- Combine the yolks and sugar in a separate bowl and whisk 1 – 2 minutes until light and frothy and light yellow in color.
- Temper the eggs by slowly adding the simmering cream with the egg mixture then combine all of the eggs with the cream back into the pan along with the salt and vanilla and allow to cook over medium low heat for 8 to 10 minutes until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Do not boil or it will curdle!
- Transfer the ice cream base to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, adhering the plastic wrap directly to the surface of the cream so that a film does not form. Refrigerate 4 hours or more.
- After four hours, mix in ground cookies to the base then place inside an ice cream maker and make ice cream according to the directions of your ice cream maker.
- Remove ice cream from maker and place in a separate freezer container and allow to freeze until ready to serve.
