Oatmeal Cookie Ice Cream

Oatmeal Cookie Ice Cream is a creamy, rich ice cream loaded with chunks of chewy oatmeal cookies. This fun ice cream is my newest favorite frozen treat. (I figure I’ve written “newest favorite” at least 100 times on this blog already, but I’m choosing to ignore that little fact for now.) This ice cream has been all I could think about ever since I took the first bite.

I’ve made this Oatmeal Cookie Ice Cream a couple times now and it’s quite simply the ice cream of this oatmeal cookie lover’s dreams.

Made with a simple cream base that requires no cooking or chill time, this is my go-to starter for countless ice cream recipes. This method has never failed me and it can be stirred together in just minutes.

You can make this ice cream with or without the raisins in the cookies. I’ve tried both ways and the raisins stayed nice and chewy, not at all hard as I’d assumed they would be. Soft and Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies work beautifully for this ice cream. For a gluten free recipe, use this Oatmeal Cookie recipe, just swap raisins for the chocolate chips. Store bought oatmeal cookies will also work fine. There are plenty of options for this recipe.

Notes

I really enjoy the cinnamon in the base for this ice cream. However, I've also made this with a simple vanilla base and loved it that way as well. If you love cinnamon, definitely add it.
