"Feast of Saint Valentine"
Chocolate ice-cream anyone? If chocolate syrup and cookie and cream ice-cream
ever had a child this would be it. It’s rich and creamy with the perfect
crunchy bits of Oreo cookies. The most special thing about this ice-cream is
not the flavors but the method and its simple ingredients. The easiest ice-cream I have ever made ever!!
Literally took me less than 10 minutes
to put it together.
A few weeks back I stumbled upon a blog post from thekitchn detailing a
way to make ice-cream using no heat, no ice-cream maker, no fancy gadgets and
just 2 ingredients. I was intrigued to say the least. They used nothing but
condensed milk and heavy cream. Who would have thought making ice-cream could
be a simple as just a manipulation of two ingredients. I decided I had to
figure out a way to incorporate this method into chocolate month.
My only issue with the dessert is its super sweet. And that also
depends on who you ask, because my cousin Jade (whose tears and sweat are made
of high fructose corn syrup) swears that the ice-cream is perfect and not too
sweet. While my sister and I could not get past four spoons of it. I guess
it’s the chocolate syrup with the condensed milk. For me it also lacks a salty
element for balance of flavors. It may need a pinch or two of salt in the mix
just to enhance the flavors. However sweetness aside the ice-cream is creamy
and smooth just as you would expect from any ice-cream made in an ice-cream machine.
That I was quite surprised about, all in all a very easy ice-cream hack!
Ingredients (printable recipe)
2 cups heavy cream
½ cup chocolate syrup
1 cup condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
Oreo cookie crumbles (no cream filling)
Instructions

- Combine the whipped cream with the chocolate mixture until smooth
- Layer Oreo cookie crumbles and chocolate cream batter into a freezer save container
- Place a layer of parchment paper on top and freeze for 4 to 6 hours before serving.
