McHome-made

I have a new obsession. Oreo McFlurry. It's gotten so bad that I consumed 5 of them in just 1 weekend. I'd like to say that I'm ashamed and will never do that again but I'm not...and I doubt I can stop...so I decided to make my own - because I can... :-)

McHome-made

Ingredients
  • 300ml full cream milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 4 Oreo cookies (be sure to scrape off the cream in the middle)
  • 3/4 cup icing sugar
  • 300ml double cream
Method
  • Put the milk and vanilla into a pan and bring to the boil. Remove from heat and allow to cool
  • Once cooled, add egg yolks and whisk. Return mixture to the stove and heat. Stir until custard thickens. Pour into a bowl, cover with cling film and allow to cool
  • Meanwhile, crush Oreo cookies (I put mine in a blender because I wanted the ice cream to be smooth)
  • In a separate bowl, whip cream until stiff, gently fold in the milk and egg mix and sugar
  • Pour into a bowl and freeze (mine took more than an hour to set)
  • I shaved some milk chocolate to make it look pwetty
The recipe is originally made with strawberries from one of my cook books - I just substituted the strawberries with Oreos
