Cookies and Cream Ice Cream

Well, it finally feels like summer here, which is a perfect excuse to whip up some homemade ice cream. Cookies and Cream is one of my favorite ice cream flavors of all time, and I can't believe I haven't made it before now! It's super fast and easy too, using my sweetened condensed milk method. Beat the heat with this delicious ice cream today!

In a large bowl or measuring cup (I like to use my batter bowl because it's easier to pour into the ice cream maker) combine the half and half, cream,

sweetened condensed milk

and vanilla.

Whisk this well, then pour into an ice cream freezer

and churn until soft serve stage. Add the crushed cookies

and churn until they are distributed. Transfer to a freezer safe container

and freeze at least four hours.
