Ice Cream is a food group in our house during the summer. It’s very hot and the kids just want to eat ice cream.
The key to making this amazing ice cream at home is the Gourmia Ice Cream Maker. This Gourmia machine has a built in compressor. Why do you need a compressor? You need one so that you do not have to freeze your container 24-48 hours before making your ice cream. We have owned 4 different ice cream making machines and contraptions. None of them created ice cream that would even come close to the results from this machine. You also do not need to clear out a huge space in your freezer for the ice cream container to freeze! Ice cream making became so much easier!
One quick note about vanilla paste. In our Vanilla Ice Cream recipe we use Nielsen Massey vanilla paste. If you bake at all you really want to invest in this vanilla paste instead of using vanilla extract. If you are just an occasional chef the vanilla extract is fine. The Vanilla paste has an amazing flavor and tons of little vanilla flecks to give you an authentic vanilla taste. It really elevates all our desserts.
We have experimented this summer with lots of different ice cream flavors. We have made Vanilla Ice cream (the same recipe as the Oreo, just without adding the oreos) We have made chocolate and also chocolate chip. We have also tried almond milk and coconut milk ice creams, both were amazing! Finally, we have had success with aquafaba ice cream too. If you do not know what aquafaba is, read this post here. One more tip, I have substituted skim milk for the whole milk a few times, and I have also substituted half and half for the heavy cream and they all come out perfectly delicious. Experiment, that is what cooking is all about! This ice cream is so good, you might never buy a tub of ice cream again!
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla paste
- 5 oreos
Instructions
- Whisk together the whole milk and the sugar.
- Whisk in the heavy cream.

- Eat immediately.
What flavor should we try next? My daughter wants to make mint chocolate chip so that is happening soon. Oreo ice cream seems to be the crowd favorite at our house.
Yum! Cookies and creme is my favorite ice cream flavor. I can’t wait to make my very own batch using actual Oreos. Yummo!
Cookies and creme is the family favorite flavor by far! I hope you have a chance to try this recipe.
OMG, Sara, this looks sooooo yummy. The recipe seems easy to follow too. Looking forward to making this. It’s been really hot here so homemade ice cream will be perfect.
Thanks Debra! It really is so easy to make. No excuses for homemade ice cream anymore. Thanks for visiting!!
I love Oreos. They are my favorite cookie. I have to try this recipe for making ice cream now.
Oreos are also my favorite cookie! Adding them into a fresh delicious vanilla ice cream makes an awesome dessert.
I love ice cream and this is one of my kids favorite flavors of ice cream.I have never made it at home, I didn’t realize how easy it is to do.
It is so easy, now you have to try it! It is so nice to be able to know what ingredients are in your ice cream. And when you make it at home you can add any mixins you want.
My daughter and I looked at an ice cream maker while in Target last night. She was trying to convince me to buy it.
Now I see this and feel a bit bad that I didn’t get it.
That is so cute! Make sure you buy one with a compressor inside it. It really makes a huge difference in the speed and quality of your ice cream.
I love homemade ice cream. We enjoy making it and eating it so much that there are never any leftovers. This looks like a yummy one!
We never have any ice cream leftovers. The nice part of that is, you always have a fresh batch!
I have always wanted to try making my own ice cream. This looks like a delicious recipe. Oreo is my favorite flavor.
I think Oreo or cookies and creme is a universal favorite among ice cream lovers!
I oreo ice cream! It’s one of my favorites. I’m glad you have this recipe. It will be nice to make it from home now.

We love oreo everything. My kids would be insanely happy if I surprised them with this ice cream. Gotta run to the grocery store and grab some today.

My youngest has discovered Oreo’s! This will be great to try out with him. He loves anything I make that gives him a chance to use a whisk.
That is too cute! Kids love to cook, and it is an important lifelong skill!
