How to Make Cookies and Cream Ninja Creami Ice Cream

Step 1: Whisk together the whole milk, double cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla until the sugar fully dissolves. This creates the smooth base that freezes evenly.

Step 2: Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint, stopping just below the fill line. Freeze it on a completely level surface for 24 hours so it becomes fully solid.

Step 3: After freezing, remove the lid and place the pint in the machine. Run the Ice Cream function so it blends into a smooth, fluffy texture.

Step 4: Make a small well in the center and add the crushed Oreos plus 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk to help everything mix.

Step 5: Run the Mix-In cycle so the cookies blend in evenly. Serve right away for a soft texture or freeze again if you want it firmer.
