Why Sweetened Condensed Milk Is So Important!
First, I must let you know that Sweetened Condensed Milk is a canned milk that has 60 percent of it's water content removed, making it thicker in consistency.
Also, it has 40-45% sugar, making it a great sugar substitute in recipes that use sugar. More importantly, condensed milk creates a caramelized flavor along with it's sweetness, which give the dishes that require it, a beautiful kick of flavor.
That being said---I generally love using the original Sweetened Condensed Milk like the Eagle Brand's version, however, for a vegan-friendly/dairy-free option Edward's & Son's Let's Do Organic's dairy-free coconut version.
How To Make Strawberry Oreo Ice Cream
TO MAKE THE ICE CREAM:
- In a high-powered blender, add the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and milk, blending everything together until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
- ASSEMBLE + FREEZE:
- Immediately pour everything into a 9x5 loaf pan (or round metal bowl), add ¾ of strawberry sauce to the bottom and crush Oreo cookies and add them into the batter, stirring slightly to incorporate them in the middle. Then top the batter with more crushed Oreos.
- Tightly wrap the top of pan with foil paper or heavy duty plastic wrap and freeze for 6 hours or overnight.
- To serve, remove from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes to help it soften slightly before scooping.
Ingredients
Here is a simple list of ingredients to make No Churn Strawberry Oreo Ice Cream:
- Heavy cream. Choose organic for the best flavor! (See notes for DF option)
- Sweetened condensed milk. I use low-fat, sweetened condensed milk for my homemade ice cream recipe. It really enriches the texture and sweetens things up with just one simple ingredient. (Dairy-free option sub for a DF condensed milk)
- Vanilla. Choose pure vanilla extract to highlight this classic ice cream flavor.
- Cinnamon. Complement the other flavors perfectly! You can purchase my Dessert Lover Blend for authentic flavor or you can create a homemade spice mix.
- Oreos. The sweet, crunchy, crumbly star of the show. (Use Gluten-free Oreos for the GF option)
- Almond Milk. Adds a nutty element.
How To Make Strawberry Sauce
In a saucepan, add together all ingredients over medium-high heat, stirring until combined. Once strawberries begin to soften, continue stirring until the mixture begins to thicken a bit, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely!
STRAWBERRY SAUCE:
- Fresh sliced strawberries. Stems removed.
- Organic cane sugar. For sweetness.
- Lemon. Freshly-squeezed
- Strawberry preserves/jam. If you want to go above and beyond you can make your own strawberry jam!
- Water.
- Pinch of ground cinnamon. Adds a nice warming flavor. You can purchase my Dessert Lover Blend for authentic flavor.

Here, I’ve curated a list of baking essentials that I use to achieve my favorite baked goods, especially with this No Churn Strawberry Oreo Ice Cream. Everything from my fave large scoop, baking sheet, liners, and more. SEE THEM HERE!
Ice Cream Without an Ice Cream Maker
You may have thought that the only way to enjoy homemade ice cream is to purchase an ice cream maker. That is totally false! You can create excellent texture without an ice cream maker if you follow some of my basic principles for no-churn ice cream---especially this espresso chocolate version. It does take a little technique to perfect the consistency, but it is so easy that anyone could do it!
If you take sweetened cream, flavor it, and freeze it, you will be very disappointed. Unfortunately, ice cream needs air whipped into it, which is what most ice cream machines do as they freeze the base. Freezing cream will cause it to solidify and you will never be able to scoop it out.
Instead, I use heavy whipping cream and whip it to stiff peaks. Then, I fold it into sweetened condensed milk along with my other mix-ins to keep the mixture airy. This way, I get perfectly scoopable ice cream once it has hardened in the freezer. However, for an even easier method----you can blend everything in a blender for the right amount of whipping.
Are Oreos Vegan?
Yup! According to a bit research and the Oreo official website, they've been a dairy-free and vegan treat since they launched. Who knew---right? Despite the filling, most Oreos actually contain no form of milk or animal product, depending on the flavor which some might contain honey, etc. As for which flavors are actually vegan, here's a list of them to keep things safe when picking:
- The original Oreo cookie
- The Double Stuffed Oreo
- The Most Stuffed Oreo
- Oreo Gluten-Free
- Oreo Double Stuffed Gluten-Free
- Chocolate Creme Oreo
- Dark Chocolate Oreo
- Jave Chip Oreo
- Carrot Cake Oreo
- Lemon Oreos
- Golden + Golden Doubled Stuffed Oreos
- And a few others.
Serving Suggestions For No Churn Strawberry Oreo Ice Cream
Although homemade Strawberry Oreo Ice Cream recipe is absolutely amazing on its own, here are some ideas to elevate it to the next level:

Common Strawberry Oreo Ice Cream Q + A's
Store leftover ice cream in an airtight container or ice cream container in the freezer for up to two weeks–if it lasts that long!
Yes and No! If you want to make this recipe even faster and easier, you can replace the heavy cream with 2 cups of cool whip, however, the texture won't be as solid and "ice cream" like as this one. Cool whip creates a more "gummy" and a less smooth texture. Simply place the cool whip in a stand mixer bowl and fold in the remaining ingredients until uniform. Then place in the loaf pan and freeze as directed.
Absolutely! Just use Gluten-free Oreos in place of the original variety.
Yes! Oreos are already vegan, and sub the condensed milk with 1 (7oz) can of DF sweetened condensed milk and an extra 2 cups of Almond milk. Also, ensure that the preserves/jams are vegan!
I just use classic Oreo cookies, but there are so many types of Oreo flavors now that you can test out!
Absolutely! Feel free to get creative and add additional mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, other berries, or caramel swirls. Just be sure not to overload the mixture, as it can affect the texture of the ice cream.
The freezing time can vary depending on your freezer temperature and the depth of the ice cream in the container. Generally, it takes around 4-6 hours for the ice cream to become firm. It's best to check its consistency periodically and adjust the freezing time as needed.
To incorporate cookies, simply crush an entire row and half of Oreos in a medium bowl and fold into ice cream mixture. To top the ice cream mixture after placing in a loaf pan, separate each cookie and scrape off the filling so that only the cookie itself is being used. You’ll need approximately 2 rows of Oreo cookies or so to achieve the entire recipe, about 18-20 cookies.
