Cookies and Cream

A bowl of cookies and cream ice cream

Cookies and cream is a popular flavor of ice cream and other desserts, characterized by the inclusion of chocolate cookie pieces in a vanilla-flavored base. It is often associated with the use of Oreo cookies, although other types of chocolate cookies can be used.

History

The origins of cookies and cream ice cream are somewhat disputed, with several claims to its invention. It is believed to have been created in the late 1970s or early 1980s. Some sources attribute its creation to students at South Dakota State University, while others claim it was developed by the Blue Bell Creameries in Brenham, Texas.

Preparation

Cookies and cream ice cream is typically made by mixing crushed chocolate cookies into a vanilla ice cream base. The cookies are usually added towards the end of the churning process to ensure they remain in chunks rather than being completely blended into the ice cream.

Variations

While the classic version uses vanilla ice cream and chocolate cookies, variations can include different flavors of ice cream or cookies. For example, some versions might use a chocolate ice cream base or incorporate additional ingredients such as caramel or peanut butter.

Popularity

Cookies and cream is one of the most popular ice cream flavors in the United States and is widely available in grocery stores and ice cream parlors. Its popularity has led to the creation of other cookies and cream-flavored products, such as milkshakes, candy bars, and cakes.
