Ingredients
  

Ice cream base
  • 2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 tsp almond extract
  • blue food coloring Use enough to reach a vibrant electric blue.
  • 0.25 tsp salt
Cookie mix-ins
  • 8 Oreo cookies, crushed
  • 8 chocolate chip cookies, crumbled

Equipment

  • 1 stand mixer
  • 1 sheet pan
  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Whip the cream
  1. Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks, using a stand mixer on high until it holds a clear peak when the beaters lift.
  2. Stop whipping once stiff peaks form so the texture stays airy and doesn’t break down.
Make the blue condensed milk mixture
  1. Whisk the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, almond extract, blue food coloring, and salt together until the mixture is vibrantly blue and fully smooth.
  2. Add more blue food coloring gradually until you get an electric-blue color.
Combine and add cookie mix-ins
  1. Fold the condensed milk mixture into the whipped heavy cream gently until just combined, keeping the mixture thick and fluffy.
  2. Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies and the crumbled chocolate chip cookies until evenly distributed with no dry streaks.
Freeze
  1. Transfer the mixture to a 9x5 loaf pan and spread it evenly to help it freeze uniformly.
  2. Freeze at least 6 hours or overnight until firm, so the ice cream scoops cleanly.

Notes

For the brightest blue color, start with a moderate amount of blue food coloring, then add more a teaspoon at a time until it looks vivid in the bowl. Store covered in the freezer for up to 2–3 weeks. No—this is not freezer-friendly for refreezing after thawing, since texture can soften. If you want a lower-sugar option, swap the sweetened condensed milk for a reduced-sugar condensed milk substitute (color and sweetness may vary slightly).
