  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp blue spirulina powder
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 10 Oreo cookies, chopped
  • 10 crunchy chocolate chip cookies, chopped

Instructions

  1. Instructions with an ice cream maker: The day before making this ice cream, place the ice cream maker churning bowl inside the freezer. It should chill for 24 hours.
  2. Blend Ingredients: Add coconut milk, sugar, vanilla extract, blue spirulina powder, and salt to a high-speed blender. Blend for 2-3 minutes, until smooth and creamy.
  3. Churn Ice Cream: Pour mixture into the ice cream maker. Churn according to the ice cream maker‘s instructions. During the final 1-2 minutes, add chopped oreo cookies and chocolate chip cookies.
  4. Freeze: After, transfer to a freezer-safe container. Cover and chill in the freezer for at least 4 hours (or until firm). Alternatively, you can enjoy it immediately as soft serve.
  5. Thaw and Serve: Remove ice cream from the freezer. Thaw for 5-10 minutes before scooping. Enjoy!
  6. Instructions without an ice cream maker (no churn): Add coconut milk, sugar, vanilla extract, blue spirulina powder, and salt to a high-speed blender. Blend for 2-3 minutes, until smooth and creamy.
  7. Mix Cookies and Freeze: Pour mixture into a freezer-safe container. Add chopped oreo cookies and chocolate chip cookies. Stir to evenly mix the cookies throughout the ice cream. Cover and chill in the freezer overnight (or until firm).
  8. Thaw and Serve: Remove ice cream from the freezer. Thaw for 5-10 minutes before scooping. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Place the ice cream maker bowl in the freezer 24 hours before making ice cream.
  • For a soft serve option, enjoy immediately after churning without extra freezing.
  • If no ice cream maker is available, stir cookies into the mixture before freezing overnight.
  • Thaw ice cream 5-10 minutes before scooping for best texture.
