Ingredients

  • cup whole milk
  • 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cup half & half
  • 1 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 3 cups Circus Animal Cookies gently crushed into large pieces

Instructions

  • Mix together all ingredients except for cookies and pour into a 2 qt. ice cream maker (halve the recipe for a quart-sized ice cream maker).
  • Follow the manufacturer’s directions for churning.
  • When ice cream is almost completely set up, stir in the cookies and process, or continue stirring, enough to get them incorporated.
  • Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-friendly dish, cover, and freeze until completely firm.

Notes

  • Do not substitute lower fat dairy. If you want to substitute the milk for anything, go for full fat half and half but not lower fat milk.
  • Make sure your ice cream maker is cold enough before you churn the ice cream.
  • Do not over churn it. Follow the instructions on your ice cream maker for the creamiest ice cream.
