This 4 ingredient Oreo ice cream recipe is one of our favorite summer desserts because it is so easy to make from scratch without an ice cream machine. Add a 2 ingredient Oreo crust, and it makes the perfect simple dessert recipe for parties, picnics, and barbecues, too.
Crush 18 Oreo cookies into a fine powder using a food processor or a large plastic zippered bag and rolling pin.
Mix butter and crushed Oreos together and then press into bottom and up sides of a deep dish pie pan.
For the Oreo ice cream
Use an electric mixer to beat cream on high for 3-5 minutes, until peaks have formed. Fold in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla.
Crush 10 Oreos to crumbs using the food processor. Add them to the ice cream. Then add 10 more Oreos to the food processor and pulse them just a few times so that they are crushed but still in large pieces. Add these to the ice cream as well. I like to do smaller crumbs and bigger crumbs for texture and flavor in the ice cream.
Pour the ice cream into the prepared pie plate, laying whole Oreos on the top of the pie before covering tightly with plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 4 hours.
Allow pie to thaw for about 10 minutes before cutting.
Notes
Leftover pie should be covered tightly with plastic wrap and stored it to the freezer.
