The best cookies and cream ice cream recipe is creamy, decadent, and will have you coming back for more!
Our cookies and cream ice cream recipe can be made up in about 5 minutes of preparation time, and only 25 minutes churning in the ice cream maker.
Once it comes out of the ice cream maker, it’s more like soft serve ice cream. The consistency is perfect for placing the ice cream in between 2 cookies to serve as an ice cream sandwich.

I recommend using the Cuisinart Pure Indulgence Ice Cream Maker.
You freeze your ice cream bowl for 24 hours, then place it in your ice cream maker.
Place your plastic mixing part inside the bowl, and then put the lid on.
There’s only 1 button of on and off.
They make it simple to make ice cream in about 20-25 minutes. Make sure to set up your ice cream maker in a different room that you can close the door. Churning ice cream is a loud process, but once it’s done, you’ll love making ice cream!!
