Easy No-Churn Oreo Ice Cream

This Oreo Ice Cream is one of those wonderfully simple frozen treats that feels far more indulgent than the effort it takes to make. Layers of crisp chocolate cookies and a creamy whipped yogurt filling come together into a dessert that’s rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced with just a hint of tanginess. As it freezes, the cookies soften slightly, creating a texture reminiscent of an ice cream cake with irresistible cookies-and-cream flavor.

I’ve collected plenty of no-churn ice cream recipes over the years, and this one has quickly become a family favorite. My kids especially love helping layer the cookies and cream, and I appreciate that it requires only a handful of ingredients and no ice cream machine. It’s perfect for hot summer afternoons, birthday celebrations, or whenever you’re craving an easy homemade dessert.

Whether you serve it straight from the freezer or let it soften for a couple of minutes before scooping, every bite delivers creamy, chocolatey goodness. Love this recipe? Pin it to your Dessert board on Pinterest so you don’t lose it!

Ingredients

Cream Base

1 cup whipping cream

1 tbsp granulated sugar

¼ cup plain yogurt

Cookie Layers

10 to 12 Oreo cookies, cream filling removed

Reserved Oreo cream filling (optional)

Instructions

1. Separate the Oreo cookies from their cream filling. Set the cookies aside, and reserve the filling if you would like extra Oreo flavor in the ice cream.
2. In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with the sugar until it reaches medium-stiff peaks; about 80% whipped.
3. Fold the yogurt gently into the whipped cream until smooth. If using the reserved Oreo filling, stir it into the mixture until evenly incorporated.
4. Arrange one Oreo cookie in the bottom of a freezer-safe mold or container. Pipe or spoon a layer of the cream mixture over the cookie.
5. Top with another Oreo cookie and continue alternating layers of cookies and cream until the container is full.
6. Cover tightly and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.
7. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 3 to 5 minutes before serving for the creamiest texture.

Cooking Notes

• Chill the mixing bowl and beaters before whipping the cream for the best volume.
• Avoid overwhipping the cream, or the texture may become grainy.
• Greek yogurt creates a slightly thicker, creamier consistency than regular yogurt.
• Freeze overnight for the firmest texture.
• Store covered in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
