   • Place the Oreo cookies in a bowl, cover, and pop them in the refrigerator to chill.

2. 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.

3. Add Cream and Milk:

   • Pour in the heavy cream and milk, whisking continuously to blend everything together smoothly.

4. 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.

5. Freeze in Ice Cream Maker:

   • Transfer the creamy mixture into your trusty ice cream maker, following the manufacturer’s instructions for freezing.

6. 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.

7. 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!

8. Serve and Enjoy! 🎉

   • Scoop out generous portions of this homemade Oreo Mint Ice Cream into bowls or cones.
   • Garnish with extra Oreo cookies, a sprig of fresh mint, or even a drizzle of chocolate syrup if you’re feeling extra indulgent!

Tips:

• For an extra minty kick, consider adding a few drops of green food coloring to give your ice cream that classic mint hue.
• Don’t skimp on the Oreos! The more, the merrier in this deliciously decadent dessert.
• Experiment with different types of cookies or mix-ins for a customized ice cream experience. From chocolate chips to chopped nuts, the possibilities are endless!

Serving Suggestions:

• Enjoy this Oreo Mint Ice Cream on its own for a refreshing summer treat.
