How to Make Cookies & Cream Ice Cream
You can make homemade cookies and cream ice cream with the help of the KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker Attachment!
Who doesn’t love ice cream? Especially when it’s homemade and customized to your taste buds!
One of my personal favorites is cookies and cream ice cream. It’s a classic flavor that everyone loves, and it’s surprisingly easy to make at home.
Now that we have the KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker Attachment, we can make our favorite flavors right at home! I’m not going to lie. It is a little involved. But it is so worth it! Once you make the ice cream base a few times, you can crank out your ice cream in no time.
Tips and tricks for making Homemade Cookies and Cream Ice Cream:
- For an extra decadent version, you can add in some melted chocolate or caramel sauce during the last few minutes of churning.
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can still make homemade ice cream! Pour the mixture into a large shallow container and freeze for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, stir the mixture with a fork to break up any ice crystals and return it to the freezer. Repeat this process every 30 minutes until the ice cream reaches your desired consistency.
- You need to make your ice cream base at least 8 hours before churning. It needs to cool and chill properly.
- Make sure you have the proper container to store your ice cream.
Tips for using the KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker Attachment:
-
- Don’t forget to put the KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker Bowl in the freezer for a least 24 hours. You need the bowl to be frozen solid to make your ice cream.

When making your cookies and cream ice cream, you have to start by making the ice cream base. Over medium heat, heat your half-and-half until very hot (be careful not to boil).
Next, whip your egg yolks and sugar in your stand mixer until well blended and slightly thickened. Gradually add your half-and-half until well blended. Place mixture back onto the stove over medium heat until small bubbles form. Again, do not boil!
Transfer mixture into a large bowl and stir in whipping cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Cover and chill for at least 8 hours.
Once chilled, pour mixture into KitchenAid® Ice Cream Maker. Stir for 15-20 minutes or until desired consistency is reached. Add your crushed cookies during the last 3 to 5 minutes of freeze time. When your ice cream is done, transfer into serving dishes or store in the freezer in an airtight container.
Now that you have your homemade cookies and cream ice cream, you can enjoy it in a variety of ways! Here are some ideas:
- Scoop it into a bowl and enjoy it on its own.
