The heat is scalding, so take out those whisksksksksks
We know some of you had your summer plans cancelled, but don’t let the heat melt away the fun. You can take away the person from the beach, but that doesn’t stop us from igniting that summer fire we know you have. What better way to spark that joy by making your own ice cream at home – and no, machine not required!
Cookies and Cream
Kabahan ka na, Jadine, because the perfect duo just arrived. If ice creams had a national flavor, it’s probably going to be Cookies and Cream. This crowd favorite reigns supreme as it continues to give us the best of both worlds.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 14 oz condensed milk
- Oreo cookies
What to do:
- Whip the heavy cream and condensed milk together in a large bowl until slightly thick and creamy. Use a hand mixer for faster results

- Using a rolling pin, crush the oreos until it’s a mix of small and big chunks
- Mix together the crushed oreos with the cream base
- Transfer the mixture in a container, freeze, and enjoy!
