Ingredients
Ice Cream Base
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons instant coffee granules
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
Mix-Ins
- 1 cup Oreo cookie chunks and crumbs
- ½ cup hot fudge ice cream topping
Instructions
- Dissolve the Coffee: In a mixing bowl, dissolve the 3 tablespoons of instant coffee granules into the 2 cups of heavy whipping cream, stirring well to combine.
- Whip the Cream: Beat the coffee-infused cream on high speed using a mixer until stiff peaks form, ensuring a light, airy texture.
- Fold in Sweetened Condensed Milk: Gently fold the 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream using a spatula, taking care not to deflate the mixture.
- Prepare the Oreo Fudge Mixture: Warm the ½ cup hot fudge ice cream topping in the microwave for 10-15 seconds until just warm, then stir in the Oreo cookie chunks and crumbs evenly. Be careful not to overheat the fudge.
- Layer and Swirl: Spoon half of the ice cream base into a freezer-safe container. Dollop half of the Oreo fudge mixture on top by spoonfuls. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the fudge through the ice cream, taking care not to overmix.
- Repeat Layers: Pour the remaining ice cream mixture over the swirled layer, then add the rest of the Oreo fudge mixture on top. Gently swirl again to create a beautiful marbled effect without blending too much.
- Freeze: Cover the container tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
Notes
- Use cold heavy cream for whipping to achieve stable, firm peaks and a creamier texture.
- Fold ingredients gently to avoid deflating the whipped cream, preserving airiness.
- Do not overheat the hot fudge topping; warming just enough helps it swirl without melting the ice cream base.
- Swirl carefully using a butter knife or skewer — over-swizzling will cause the ice cream to lose its marbled look and turn uniformly brown.
- For best results, freeze in a tightly sealed container to prevent ice crystal formation on the ice cream surface.
- Optional: Add ½ cup toffee bits to the ice cream base before swirling for extra crunch and flavor.
- Try serving scoops on Oreo brownies topped with whipped cream and chopped chocolate-covered coffee beans for a decadent sundae.
