Cookies and Cream Ice Cream

One can't have enough creams! The sudden plunge of temperature this week is not enough to put me off from making another ice cream. And so the battle between Emily vs. ice cream machine and hips vs. calories continues.  The Cookies and Cream ice cream recipe came into my mind after a short trip to Mc Donalds. Here's is my answer to Ronald Mc Donald's Oreo Mc Flurry.

Oreo Ice Cream Recipe

Beat 5 egg yolks and 120 g white sugar  until pale and fluffy. Heat 300 ml cream and 200 ml milk to a scalding point. Slowly pour hot cream mixture into the whipped  egg yolks while whisking constantly to avoid eggs from curding . 

 .Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, cook until the custard is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.Stir in vanilla extract.Let custard cool to room temperature and refrigerate. Transfer the cold custard to your ice cream machine and process according to the manufacturer's instructions
Few minutes before ice cream is done, crush 3 small packs of Oreo Cookies using a rolling pin ( make a tiny slit at the edge to let the air out). Stir in crushed Oreo Cookies into the cold custard.
