ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 5 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon vodka
- 1/2 package Oreo cookies, crumbled
Method
Step 1
In a saucepan, whisk together 1 1/2 cups cream with the milk, sugar and egg yolks. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened enough to coat a spoon
Step 2
Pour the custard through a mesh strainer to remove any bits of cooked eggs. Stir in the vanilla and vodka. Cover with plastic, resting right against the surface of the custard, and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, preferably overnight.
Step 3
Use an electric mixer to beat the remaining 1 cup of cream (which should be chilled), until soft, thick peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the chilled custard.
Step 4
Churn the ice cream according to the directions of your ice cream maker, then fold in the crumbled cookies. Transfer to a container and freeze until firm, about 4-6 hours. Yields about 2 quarts.
