Ingredients
No Churn Blueberry Ice Cream
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 2 tbs sugar
- 1 tbs lemon juice
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
Oatmeal Cookies
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup butter, cut in pieces
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3 cups oats
Instructions
No Churn Blueberry Ice Cream
- Cook blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes. We want them to slightly break down and release some juices.
- Remove from heat and cool completely. Refrigerate if you're impatient.
- In a large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and heavy whipping cream. Whip until soft peaks form.
- Fold in the cooked blueberries. Cover with a layer of plastic directly touching the top of the cream. Freeze until solid, 3 to 4 hours.
Oatmeal Cookies
- Sift together flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the brown sugar, sugar, and butter until fluffy.
- Beat in eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla. Stop to scrape the bowl down as needed.
- Add the flour mix in 2 or 3 batches, mixing until just combined. Mix in the oats.
- Cover the dough and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375 F and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll the dough into walnut sized balls, then place 2 inches apart on the cookie sheets. Gently flatten with a fork or the back of a spoon.
- Bake until golden and chewy, about 8 to 10 minutes. 10 to 12 minutes will give you a crispier cookie.
- Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool the rest of the way.
Assemble the Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches
- Use a spatula or butter knife to shave the ice cream into strips. Don't worry about making them too thick, you can always put on another layer.
- Lay the layers of ice cream onto a bottom cookie until it's as full of ice cream as you'd like, then add a top cookie.
