How to Make Cookies N Cream Ice Cream

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is just simmering.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly temper the egg yolks by whisking in a few tablespoons of the hot cream mixture. Pour the tempered yolks back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture.
  3. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a spatula, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 8-10 minutes). Do not boil.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. This removes any cooked egg bits for a super smooth texture.
  6. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  7. Once chilled, stir in the crushed Oreos until evenly distributed.
  8. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  9. Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-4 hours to harden further.
