Ingredients
Scale
- 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.
