Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream chilled
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk room temp
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract Madagascar or Tahitian
  • 1 1/4 cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies about 12–15 cookies
  • Pinch fine sea salt balances sweetness

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, beat chilled heavy whipping cream on medium-high until stiff peaks form—think soft mountains that hold their shape. (Tip: chill your bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes first.)
  • Gently pour in the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt. Use a spatula to fold in, making sure not to deflate the whipped cream.
  • Sprinkle two-thirds of your crushed cookies into the mixture, folding them in with playful swirls. Leave some chunks for texture.
  • Spoon the creamy blend into a loaf pan or airtight container. Press down gently, smoothing the top, then scatter the remaining cookie pieces over the surface.
  • Cover the pan with plastic wrap or a lid and freeze for at least 4 hours—or overnight—for scoop-ready perfection. (Here’s the thing: if you’re in a hurry, pop it in the coldest part of your freezer and check in 3 hours.)
  • Let the pan sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping—this makes it so much smoother. Use an ice cream scoop dipped in hot water for neat, round scoops.

Notes

Personal Tip: I learned that folding—yes, folding gently—is the secret to a cloud-like texture. Aggressive mixing can deflate all that air you just whipped in. Cookie Size Matters: too fine and you lose crunch; too big and you’ll tear through your scoop. Aim for pea-to-nickel size bits. Chill Your Tools: if your bowl and beaters are room-temp, the cream takes forever to thicken. Pop them in the freezer to speed things up. Flavor Boost: a tiny sprinkle of espresso powder enhances the chocolate in those sandwich cookies. Just a pinch!
