Mint Oreo Ice Cream

Amazing homemade ice cream!! The picture looks terrible, but the taste is to die for. Isabelle and I made this for daddy for Father's Day. His favorite blizzard at DQ is mint oreo, so we tried to recreate it for him. I think we have to go get more ingredients today, so I think he enjoyed it! :)

From food.com

Ingredients

• 1 cup coarsely chopped Oreo cookies
• 2 large eggs
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 cups heavy cream or 2 cups whipping cream
• 1 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons peppermint extract

Directions

1. Place cookies in a bowl, cover and refrigerate.
2. Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes; whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 more minute.
3. Pour in the cream and milk and whisk to blend.
4. Add the peppermint extract and blend again.
5. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer's instructions.
6. While the ice cream is somewhat loose but on it's way to being frozen, add the chopped cookies and continue freezing until the ice cream is ready.
7. At this point, I transfer the ice cream to a plastic container and put it in the freezer to harden (ripen) completely.
