Homemade Oreo Cookie Ice Cream

For christmas a couple of years ago my uncle bought me a Kenwood IM200 ice cream maker, and since this week started with some nice sunny weather I decided to get it out for the first time this year and make some ice cream. When I first got the machine I wasn't particularly adventureous, mostly making fruity frozen yogurts, but after finding a recipe for Oreo ice cream online I wanted to give it a try. I'm a massive lover of Haggen-Dazs Cookies & Cream, and this was just as good!

I followed the recipe provided by 'The Purple Foodie', which can be found here:

The idea is to make a good quality vanilla custard to churn into ice cream, adding in some chopped up Oreos at the very end.
