Supplies Needed:

• Blender
• Ninja Creami pint container

Tips and Tricks:

• Don’t Skip the Cream Cheese: This is the secret ingredient that gives this ice cream its extra creamy, dreamy texture.

FAQs:

• Can I use a different type of milk? Absolutely! Whole milk gives you the creamiest results, but you can also use skim milk, almond milk, or oat milk. We are big Fairlife milk fans.
• Can I add more Oreos? 
  Go for it! Feel free to adjust the amount of Oreos to your liking.
• How long does the ice cream last? 
  It’s best eaten fresh, but you can store any leftovers in the freezer for a few days.
• Can I make this recipe without a Ninja Creami? 
  While a Ninja Creami ice cream machine makes this recipe super quick and easy, you can also use a traditional ice cream maker.
• My ice cream is too soft/hard. What should I do? If it’s too soft, pop it back in the freezer for a bit. If it’s too hard, let it sit out at room temperature for a few minutes to soften.

Stretch it Tip:

• Leftover ice cream? Blend it with some milk for a delicious Oreo milkshake.
• This ice cream makes an amazing topping for brownies, pies, or other desserts.

Creami Prep Tip: 

• Having the right ingredients is key! Keep your favorite Ninja Creami ingredients on your shopping list to remember when you are at the grocery stores. 
• Experiment to find your favorite ice cream ingredients: switch up the kind of cookies (hint: Golden Oreos are a great choice!) 
• Make sure to place pint containers in the freezer ahead of time (that’s easy to forget but you’ll always be so glad you did.) 

Ingredients for Ninja Creami Cookies and Cream:

• 1 cup whole milk
• ¾ cup heavy cream
• ⅓ cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 6 Oreo cookies (regular or gluten-free)

Directions:

1. In your trusty blender, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, sugar, cream cheese, vanilla extract, and 2 of the Oreos. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

2. Pour the creamy mixture into your Ninja Creami pint container to the max fill line. Pop on the lid and freeze for 24 hours.

3. Spin (Ice Cream function): Once frozen, take out the pint and spin it in your Ninja Creami ice cream maker on the “Ice Cream” setting.

4. After the initial spin, grab a spoon and create a small hole that goes all the way to the bottom of the pint. Break up the remaining 4 Oreos into smaller pieces and carefully drop them into the hole.

5. Spin (Mix-in function): Now, put the pint back into the Ninja Creami and give it another spin on the “Mix-in” setting to incorporate those delicious cookie pieces.

6. Scoop, devour, and repeat! This Ninja Creami cookies and cream ice cream is best enjoyed fresh.
