Begin the recipe by using a large bowl on a stand mixer. Add the 2 cups heavy cream and use a mixer on medium speed to begin whipping until stiff peaks form.
Pour in the 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk and continue mixing at low speed until the mixture begins to thicken. Add in the 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and continue mixing until combined.
Turn off the mixer and use a large spoon to stir in the ⅔ cup crushed Oreo cookie pieces.
Place the ice cream in an airtight container and spread it in an even layer. Feel free to sprinkle more crushed Oreos on top before placing the ice cream in the freezer for at least 6 hours to freeze.
Remove the container from the freezer to serve in an ice cream cone or bowl. Enjoy!

If making no churn ice cream, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, this will help the ice cream to set and have a creamy texture.
Keep in mind this is a homemade ice cream recipe and it will probably melt quicker than machine-made ice cream, so plan to serve shortly after removing it from the freezer.
Before storing the ice cream in the freezer to chill, place it in an airtight container with a lid or cover it tightly with plastic wrap.
Use cold or chilled equipment to make the process much easier.
Chop the cookies into large chunks using a sharp knife. You can store the Oreo cookie chunks in a plastic storage bag until you're ready to make your ice cream.
This ice cream recipe makes about 1 ½ to 2 quarts of ice cream.
Using an ice cream maker? You must omit the sweetened condensed milk and use 1 cup of whole milk (not skim milk) instead. Add ¾ cup of granulated sugar for sweetness. Omit the mixer and pour all of the liquid ingredients directly into the ice cream maker's freezer bowl. After the ice cream has churned in the machine for about 20 minutes, add the chopped Oreo cookies, and continue until the ice cream is thick and creamy. I love using the Cuisinart ice cream maker for this.
