-
Whisk the Eggs:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they become light and fluffy. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually whisk in the sugar, ensuring it’s fully blended. This should take about 1 minute more.
-
Add Cream and Milk:
- Pour in the heavy cream and milk, whisking continuously to blend everything together smoothly.
-
Infuse with Minty Freshness:
- Time to bring in that refreshing mint flavor! Add the peppermint extract to the mixture and blend again until it’s all incorporated.
-
Freeze in Ice Cream Maker:
- Transfer the creamy mixture into your trusty ice cream maker, following the manufacturer’s instructions for freezing.
-
Introduce the Oreos:
- When the ice cream is starting to firm up but isn’t fully frozen yet, it’s Oreo time! Add the chopped cookies into the mix.
- Continue freezing until the ice cream reaches your desired consistency. This usually takes about 20 minutes in my Cuisinart freezer.
-
Ripen and Harden:
- Once the ice cream is wonderfully creamy and speckled with Oreo goodness, transfer it to a plastic container.
- Pop it into the freezer to let it harden and ripen completely. This usually takes a few hours or overnight, if you can wait that long!
-
