Going full “Parent Trap” for this recipe, but make it ice cream! Peanut butter Oreo ice cream is going to knock your socks off with its flavor. This can be made gluten free now that there are GF Oreos! Peanut butter and chocolate will never NOT be a good idea.
Ingredients & Equipment Needed For This Recipe
Ingredients:
- Whole Milk– This is my go to for type of milk to use when it comes to baking/cooking.
- Granulated Sugar
- Non-Fat Milk Powder– A great addition to ice cream as it helps with the overall smooth texture that you want in an ice cream.
- Egg Yolks– Save your whites! You can use them for another recipe, like Marshmallow Fluff.
- Peanut Butter– I suggest using a smooth peanut butter as the base is going to get strained so the clumps will come out, unless that’s the way you want to make it!
- Oreos or Chocolate Cookies– As long as it’s chocolate, you’re good!
- Kosher Salt– Gotta have it!
Equipment:
- Set of Measuring Cups & Spoons (liquid too) OR a Digital Kitchen Scale if using Metric
- Small Pot– For heating up the ingredients to make the ice cream base
- Whisk– Best way to combine and keep the ingredients from burning on the bottom
- Stainer– Just in case some lumps form you can make sure they will not be present in your final product.
- Thermometer– To check the temperature of the ice cream base.
- Ice Bath– I usually use a large bowl, bigger than the container that you’re storing the base in when you chill it.
- Ice Cream Machine– This one is kind of obvious LOL.
- Container for storing ice cream– I suggest placing this container in the freezer prior to churning ice cream for that the product doesn’t melt faster.
- Rubber Spatula or Large Spoon– Used for the extraction of the ice cream from the machine
- Zip-close bag– For crushing the Oreos or chocolate cookies.
- Parchment Paper– A small sheet placed over top the the just churned ice cream will help prevent a skin from forming in the freezer.
My Kinda Professional Tips for Peanut Butter Oreo Ice Cream
- Don’t over cook the base. This will result in a thicker base and will get harder faster when spinning, making for uneven textured ice cream.
- This recipe can still be made if you don’t have an ice cream machine! You can buy the peanut butter ice cream of your choice, melt it down a little, add the Oreos, re-freeze, and enjoy!!
- The base for the ice cream will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days before it needs to be churned. Once churned, the ice cream will keep in the freezer in a close-able container with parchment on top for up to one month.

Churning
- When ready to churn your ice cream, make sure you follow your ice cream machines instructions. Place your ice cream storage contianer in the freezer and begin to churn. My machine takes about 13-15 minutes for soft-serve texture.
- When ready to extract, place 2-3 scoops with a rubber spatula into the continer then about 1/4 cup of cookies sprinkled on top. Repeat until all of the ice cream is gone.
- Place a layer of parchment on top before closing and placing in the freezer for an additional 2-4 hours before enjoying!

How many/much Oreos? Also, does this make only 3 CUPS of ice cream as indicated?
Hi!
Should be about 1 cup of Oreos, maybe 12-15 cookies. And yes the recipe makes 3 cups of ice cream!
