Ninja Creami Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Recipe
Introduction
This Easy Ninja Creami Cookies and Cream recipe is a quick and delicious way to enjoy homemade ice cream. With just a few simple ingredients and the Ninja Creami, you can create a creamy, dreamy dessert that’s perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese (about 1/2 ounce)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 3/4 cup whipping cream
- 1 cup milk
- 5 chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreos)
Instructions
- Step 1: Add cream cheese to a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 10 seconds to soften it. Once softened, add sugar and vanilla essence. Use a whisk or spatula to mix until the mixture is completely smooth and combined.
- Step 2: Pour the whipping cream and milk into the bowl and whisk until everything is well-blended, smooth, and creamy with no lumps. Transfer the mixture into your Ninja Creami container without exceeding the fill line.
- Step 3: Place the container on a level surface in your freezer. Make sure it’s stable and not tilted. Freeze for at least 24 hours until the mixture is solid.
- Step 4: After freezing, insert the container into the Ninja Creami and process on the ICE CREAM setting. This will churn and aerate the base into creamy ice cream.
- Step 5: While the ice cream is processing, cut each Oreo into 4 pieces. When the processing is complete, create a small hole in the center of the ice cream and add the chopped Oreos. Use the MIX IN feature on the Ninja Creami to evenly incorporate the cookies.
- Step 6: Serve immediately for a fresh treat or return to the freezer for later. Make sure to store the ice cream in an airtight container to maintain texture and flavor.
Tips & Variations
- For an extra creamy texture, use full-fat milk and heavy cream.
- Try adding a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
- Swap Oreos for your favorite chocolate chip cookies or add mini chocolate chips instead.
- If you don’t have cream cheese, you can omit it, but it adds a subtle tang and smoothness.
Storage
Store your cookies and cream ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. To soften before serving, let it sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes, or use the Ninja Creami’s re-spin function to refresh the texture.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

Base Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese (about 1/2 ounce)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 3/4 cup whipping cream
- 1 cup milk
Mix-ins
- 5 chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreos)
Instructions
- Prepare the Vanilla Base. Add cream cheese to a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 10 seconds to soften it. Once softened, add sugar and vanilla essence to the cream cheese. Use a whisk or spatula to mix until the mixture is completely smooth and combined.
- Incorporate Dairy Ingredients. Pour in the whipping cream and milk into the mixture and whisk until everything is well-blended. Ensure there are no lumps and the mixture achieves a smooth and creamy consistency. Transfer this mixture into the Ninja Creami container, being careful not to exceed the fill line.
- Freeze the Mixture. Place the filled Ninja Creami container on a level surface in your freezer, ensuring it remains stable and not tilted. Freeze for at least 24 hours until the mixture is fully solidified.
- Process the Ice Cream. After freezing, place the container into the Ninja Creami machine and process it using the ICE CREAM setting. This will churn and aerate the frozen base, turning it into creamy ice cream.
- Prepare the Oreos and Mix In. While the ice cream is processing, cut each Oreo cookie into four pieces. Once processing is complete, create a small hole in the very center of the ice cream and add the chopped Oreo pieces into this hole. Use the MIX IN feature on the Ninja Creami to evenly incorporate the cookie pieces throughout the ice cream.
- Serve or Store. After mixing in the Oreos, your cookies and cream ice cream is ready to enjoy immediately for a fresh and delightful treat. Alternatively, store it in an airtight container in the freezer for later consumption to maintain its texture and flavor.
Notes
- Make sure not to exceed the fill line in the Ninja Creami container to allow proper spinning and churning.
- Use full-fat dairy for best creamy texture and flavor.
- Freeze the mixture on a flat surface to keep the container stable and to ensure even freezing.
- When cutting the Oreos, try to keep pieces relatively uniform for even distribution in the ice cream.
- This recipe can be customized by swapping sandwich cookies with your preferred flavor or type.
- Store leftovers in a tightly sealed container to prevent ice crystals from forming.
