Equipment

  • Chef's Knife or food processor/storage bag
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Stand Mixer or hand mixer
  • Whisk Attachment
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Loaf Pan
  • Plastic Wrap
  • Aluminum Foil

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pint heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 150 grams chocolate sandwich cookies chopped into chunks and small crumbs

Instructions

  • Place your mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for 5 minutes.
  • Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the mixing bowl.
  • Using a stand or hand mixer, beat the cream mixture with a whisk attachment until medium peaks form, about 3-4 minutes on low speed.
  • Stir in the sweetened condensed milk using a wooden spoon. The mixture should be thin and silky smooth.
  • Fold in the chopped cookie pieces until well distributed.
  • Add the mixture to a 9x5 loaf pan. Top it with a few more crumbled cookies.
  • Cover the loaf with plastic wrap, then aluminum foil. Freeze for at least 4 hours, but up to overnight. Enjoy!

Notes

Tips & Tricks: 
Make medium peaks of whipped cream. Medium is going to be right in between soft peaks (which don't hold their form) and stiff peaks (which could quickly turn to over-whipped.) If your cream curdles due to overmixing, gently fold in a bit of cold heavy cream by hand using a spatula. 
When using a stand mixer or hand mixer, use a lower speed so you can control the texture of the whipped cream.
To quickly crush your sandwich cookies, add them to a plastic storage bag and crush using your hands or a rolling pin.
Storage Instructions:
Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 weeks.
