Description
This Thai tea Oreo ice cream is made with Thai iced tea mix and crushed chocolate sandwich cookies to make an ice cream with a sweet, subtle flavor.
Ingredients
•
2 cups half-and-half, divided
•
1 cup heavy whipping cream
•
1 cup milk
•
1/4 cup powdered Thai tea mix, or to taste
•
1 egg, beaten
•
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
•
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
12 chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreo®), crushed
Directions
1
Heat 1 cup half-and-half, heavy cream, and milk in a saucepan over medium heat until begins to simmer, about 10 minutes; stir in tea mix and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer 5 to 10 minutes.
2
Beat egg in a bowl; whisk in about ¼ cup warm cream mixture, 1 teaspoon at a time. Whisk egg mixture back into cream mixture; cook until custard slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Strain custard through a cheesecloth-lined sieve into a bowl; discard tea leaves.
3
Beat remaining 1 cup half-and-half, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract into custard until well blended; cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator, 6 hours to overnight.
4
Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer’s instructions, mixing in ¾ crushed cookies when semi-solid. Fold in remaining ¼ cookies when ice cream reaches desired consistency. Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm.
