4 Ingredient Chocolate Cookies ‘n’ Cream Ice Cream
Updated June 15, 2020
Summer is here! Friday was the last day of school for the kids in our neighborhood. We live across the street from the park and the kids are already out and about enjoying their summer vacation. Summer and ice cream go hand-in-hand if you ask me. I am so ready for ice cream season!
We churned up a batch of 4 Ingredient Chocolate Cookies ‘n’ Cream Ice Cream to celebrate the start of summer. The recipe comes from my dear friend, Alice’s, new cookbook, Savory Sweet Life. Alice’s book is filled with 100 simple and delicious recipes that are perfect for any and every family occasion. And good news-we are giving away a copy today!
Savory Sweet Life is one of those cookbooks that you can’t put down. There is a photo for every single recipe and the photos are stunning. Warning-your stomach might growl at you while reading Alice’s book:) The book is organized by occasion, such as, Sunday mornings, Game Day, Potlucks, and Family Game Night. The recipes are easy to prepare and use basic ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen. Alice also shares personal stories, time-saving tips, and practical advice. I love everything about the book!
The first recipe I tried from Savory Sweet Life was Alice’s Chocolate Cookies ‘n’ Cream Ice Cream. It is amazing! Alice created the recipe for her daughter who is sensitive to dairy. Yep, this ice cream is dairy-free! I promise you will never know it! The ice cream is so rich and creamy.
So what is the secret? Coconut milk! You blend coconut milk, sugar, and cocoa powder together and churn the mixture in an ice cream maker. You add the crushed Oreos during the last 5 minutes of churning and that’s it. So simple! I still can’t believe there are only 4 ingredients needed to create such a decadent ice cream. I know we are going to be making this 4 Ingredient Chocolate Cookies ‘n’ Cream Ice Cream ALL summer long.
I can’t wait to cook and bake my way through Savory Sweet Life. I know it won’t be put back on our bookshelf for a long time.
4 Ingredient Chocolate Cookies 'n' Cream Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 1 14 ounce can coconut milk
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 10 Oreos crushed
Instructions
- Combine the coconut milk, sugar, and cocoa powder in a blender and blend for 20 seconds. Pour the liquid mixture into the bowl of an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. During the last 5 minutes of churning, add the crushed Oreos.
- Transfer the ice cream to a plastic container, cover, and freeze until ready to eat.
- Note-Alice recommends using Chaokoh brand coconut milk because of its high fat content.

I always look forward to eating ice cream. This summer though my brother is expecting his first child. I am really looking forward to that.
That ice cream looks incredible but can you tell me, does it have a strong coconut flavor? I’m really not a fan of coconut so I’m trying to imagine that flavor mixed with Oreos.
And as for what I’m looking forward to… getting back home to Chicago to visit friends and family.
I’m looking forward to a visit from my family over July 4th–hamburgers on the grill, homemade ice cream (my nephew thinks we should make four kinds), croquet, sparklers, old Disney movies. It doesn’t get better than that!

Grew up working on a fruit farm and I still go back every season for fresh blueberries, raspberries and peaches. To me, nothing’s better than picking a sun-ripened peach straight off the tree and biting into it; it’s not summer unless there’s peach juice dribbling down your arm! I bet the cocoa-based ice cream here will go great with some black raspberries in place of the cookie bits- but I do love Oreos just as much!

I’m looking forward to taking the NY Bar this summer so I can finally stop stressing out! But for a summer-y activity … I’m most looking forward to barbecues and getting together with family.
I look forward to seeing some sunshine, it was actually pouring rain yesterday! And with sun, comes BBQs on the deck. So excited for that!
I look forward to cooking/baking with my daughter before she heads off to college in August. We haven’t cooked too much together but she is now really interested in being in the kitchen and I want to get in as much cooking/baking as possible!
I look forward to being able to use a lot of basil (via my garden), eating fruits – especially watermelon and berries, hiking and reading out in the sun.

I’m looking forward to swimming with my Grandkids, and having picnics!
Just made this chocolate cookies and cream “ice cream”, and it’s very rich and decadent! It still tastes quite coco-nutty though, and I’m thinking of a pina colada adaptation with pineapple tidbits, maraschino cherries and some toasted coconut!
I look forward to sitting out on my back deck and listening to all the birds singing.
I really need a getaway!
BOATING & SWIMMING

I need to re-invest in an ice cream maker. Sounds soo good!
I’m looking forward to summer because I’m a teacher! Even though I tutor during July and August, I get to kick back and relax and paint.
Eating a lot of ice cream!
I can’t wait for no school and having my kids home all day!
Juicy watermelon!
summer is family time and canning all the in season produce, veggies so we can have fresh summer fruit and veggies during the winter.

I am sooo looking forward to a week with 6 other families in a Victorian mansion in Lake George, NY. We are all parents of a child with Down syndrome and we live all across the United States. We’ve become the best of friends and we travel together a few times a year. So this summer there will be 12 adults and 11 kids (7 with Down syndrome) enjoying a week of swimming, boating, cooking on the grill, enjoying adult beverages in the evening, and just having a great time!!
This summer, I can’t wait for hot summer days and cold treats! I’ll be finishing up my graduate program in two weeks and then it’s summer vacation, full of trying new recipes, getting in shape and enjoying the family!

I made this the other day to test my new ice cream attachment and it was delicious. Super easy and super tasty, we almost ate when it came out of the ice cream machine. I will definitely make it again and really soon. Have you tried making it without the cocoa?
I ‘ve shared it here if you would like to take a look http://thegreenmixerinenglish.wordpress.com/2012/07/09/chocolate-cookies-and-cream-ice-cream-with-coconut-milk/
Thanx!!!!!
I haven’t tried it without the cocoa, but I am sure it would be good. I will have to do some experimenting:)
This looks really good! How long should the ice cream chill?
This looks heavenly! Can I substitute the coconut milk with something else? maybe evaporated milk? My husband needs to watch his cholesterol and I was told that coconut milk is not good for it. Thanks
I haven’t tried it with any other milk. Let me know if you try it!
I’m so looking forward to watching my herb seeds emerge through the soil, especially the mint I will simmer gently in sugar and water. It will refresh my icey cold tea on a hot summers afternoon.
Work! Work! And more work! Unfortunately, have to work 2 jobs and can’t afford a holiday or the time off. Haven’t even received any invitations to cottages for long weekends in a decade … which okay when the weather’s rainy … but really saddening when it’s hot and sunny.
Thanks so much for this awesome ice cream recipe! I have made it twice, one time for my husband and I and another time for a group of friends. Both times it turned out great and everyone loved it. I have a hard time with diary but with this recipe I don’t even miss it!

Hi – Is it possible to make this into a “no churn” treat?
Can you make this recipe with just regular milk? We are not fans of coconut milk…
Can u make it without an icecream maker
