  • 1 to 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch of salt A tiny pinch helps enhance flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Chill your mixing bowl in the freezer for about 10 minutes to help whip the cream faster.
  2. Pour cold heavy cream into the bowl and whip until it reaches soft peaks.
  3. In a separate bowl, stir together sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, salt and blue gel food coloring.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture, making sure to keep the air in the whipped cream.
  5. Fold in most of the crushed and chopped cookies, reserving a handful for topping.
  6. Pour the mixture into a loaf pan, sprinkle remaining cookies on top, and gently press them in.
  7. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and freeze for at least 6 hours, but overnight is best.

Notes

For best texture, let the ice cream sit out for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping. You can customize this recipe with different flavors or cookie types.
