Extra creamy dairy free vanilla ice cream is loaded with chocolate sandwich cookies for a delicious summer dessert! You won’t believe this cookies and cream ice cream is vegan!
What was your favorite ice cream flavor when you were growing up? I had a few favorites…chocolate chip, moose tracks, chocolate chip cookie dough, and cookies and cream ice cream were all up there as favorite flavors.
And if we were headed to Dairy Queen, well, it was a cookies and cream Blizzard that I ordered, pretty much every single time. So of course I needed to remake my childhood favorite in my ice cream maker here at home.
This was such an easy flavor to recreate! I used coconut milk and maple syrup, and crumbled in some chocolate sandwich cookies, and that was all there was to it. But the result was SO good. The texture of this dairy free cookies and cream ice cream reminded me of a Blizzard.
You will need to decide what type of chocolate sandwich/oreo cookies to get based on your dietary needs. Actual oreos are vegan, as are some different brands. I like the kinnikinnick brand – those are gluten free. If you need to make your own chocolate sandwich cookies, try this gluten free and vegan recipe.

Thanks, Gayle!
This looks super yummy! Oreos in ice cream are just irresistible !I love how soft they get….YUM!
Does this taste coconutty? My daughter doesn’t like coconut but needs dairy free. Can I use almond milk instead otherwise?
It does have a slight coconut flavor, but it isn’t overpowering to me. I don’t know about using almond milk, but you could use cashew cream I think.
So if we don’t have that brand of coconut milk, you suggest using coconut cream? Sounds delicious!
Yes, I would use coconut cream!
