Cookies and Cream Ice Cream is everyone's favorite myself included. The best part is that you don't need an ice cream maker to make this one!
The ice cream base used in Oreo Cookie Ice Cream can be used in combination with any flavor not just Oreo Cookies. And, if you don't have Oreo cookies you can use any brand of chocolate wafer cookies.

How to Make Cookie and Cream Ice Cream
Mix the condensed milk and the vanilla extract in a metal bowl and place in freezer while you whip the heavy cream and chop the chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreos).
Place your heavy cream in a freezer cold bowl and whip until stiff peaks form. Add the condensed milk and vanilla extract mixture slowly into the bowl with the whipped cream.
Let the condensed milk run down the edges and mix on low until you have poured all the mixture in and it is mixed in with the whipped cream.
Pour the mixture into a storage container or a loaf pan that is layered with ground up Oreo cookies.
Layer more Oreo cookies on top of the first layer, then pour the remaining ice cream on top and layer more of the Oreo cookies on top.
Carefully mix and immediately place in freezer.
Why Freeze Bowls When Making Ice Cream?
Freezing the bowls isn't necessary. But if you want creamy, smooth ice cream it's best to freeze your whisk, bowls and your freezer safe storage container(s) before you begin.
Keeping the bowls cool will in turn keep the whipping cream cool and prevent the whipping cream from crystallizing.
It's also a good idea to freeze any products you will be using if possible, like sandwich cookies so that when you add them to the whipped cream mixture, they help to maintain the temperature of the whipped cream ice cream rather than it going up and down. This in turns help to prevent a big temperature change and will prevent some crystallization.
Top tip
I've tested making no churn ice cream with bowls and whisks that were freezer cold versus using them as they are in the kitchen.
Based on the results of making no churn ice cream, it doesn't make a difference. So, don't waste your time if you are not using an ice cream maker. Just ensure that you place your finished ice cream in the freezer right away and let it chill.
For a dense ice cream, let it freeze for 24 hours.
For soft serve, let it freeze for up to 6 hours.
Make sure that you are choosing a container that is large enough to hold your homemade ice cream securely and that the container is freezer safe.
Substitutions and Variations
Here are some ideas on how to make this Homemade No Churn Ice Cream Unique:

Equipment Recommended to Make No Churn Ice Cream
Since this ice cream is no churn, you don't need an ice cream maker. But you will need a hand mixer or a stand mixer. A food processor or a mini food processor comes in handy too to chop up your oreo chocolate sandwich cookies.
Storage
It goes without saying that you will need a freezer safe container that is large enough to hold your ice cream. Glass works best.
Freeze for at least 12 hours if you want a soft serve type ice cream. Otherwise freeze for 24 hours before serving. Consume your ice-cream within 3 weeks to avoid that dreaded freezer burn.
