Smooth and creamy vegan cookies and cream ice cream. This no-churn vegan Oreo ice cream is only 3-ingredients and so easy to make.
I made this vegan cookies and cream ice cream when my mom came to visit recently and she declared it ‘the best ice cream you’ve made so far!’
Well, I don’t know about that. Because I think ALL the vegan ice cream I’ve made so far have been totally divine! But this one is really good.
It’s also no churn, so for those who don’t have an ice cream maker, it’s totally ideal!
Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
- Whipped coconut cream. It’s ideal to make this using one full can of coconut whipping cream. This has to be chilled overnight, but then you just pour the entire contents into the bowl of your stand mixer and whip it for 2-3 minutes until it reaches a whipped cream consistency. If you can’t get hold of coconut whipping cream, then you can use two cans of regular coconut cream. They must be chilled overnight and then you can simply scoop out the hardened cream that will have risen to the top and leave the watery part behind. Add that hardened cream to your stand mixer and whip.
- Vegan condensed milk. The next ingredient in this vegan cookies and cream ice cream is vegan condensed milk. You can either make your own homemade vegan condensed milk or use a store-bought option.
- Oreo cookies. The final ingredient in this easy no-churn vegan ice cream is Oreo cookies but you can go ahead and use any vegan sandwich cookie that you like.

Vegan Oreo Ice Cream FAQ
The ice cream itself is gluten-free, but the oreo cookies are not. If you want this to be gluten-free then use gluten free Oreo cookies or another gluten free chocolate sandwich cookie.
It’s best consumed within a week, though of course it lasts longer than that, it’s frozen after all. It’s just that ice crystals can start to form if you keep it too long. But let me be honest, sometimes I forget that I even have ice cream and weeks later it is still totally delicious! But it’s still at its best in the first week.

Vegan Cookies and Cream Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 15 ounce Can Coconut Whipping Cream or 2 cans regular coconut cream, chilled overnight
- 1 ½ cups Vegan Condensed Milk (360ml)
- 16 Oreo Cookies
Instructions
- Chill your coconut whipping cream or cans of coconut cream at least overnight in the fridge. If you're using coconut whipping cream, pour the entire can into the bowl of an electric mixer and whip for 2-3 minutes until you have perfect whipped cream. If you're using regular coconut cream cans instead, then take the two cans out of the fridge, the hard cream section will have risen to the top. Scoop out only this hard cream section from both cans into the bowl of your electric mixer. Throw out the water that's left behind in the cans. Whip this up until you have perfect whipped cream.
- Add the vegan condensed milk to your whipped cream and mix in.
- Take 12 Oreo cookies and break them up into pieces, add to the mixing bowl and fold them in.
- Transfer the ice cream mix to a loaf pan and smooth down.
- Take the remaining 4 Oreo cookies and break them up over the top of the ice cream.
- Place into the freezer to set.
- When you want to serve the ice cream, let it thaw for 5 minutes or so on the countertop and use an ice cream scoop dipped in hot water to scoop it.
Notes
- The reason you only need to use 1 can of coconut whipping cream instead of 2 cans of regular coconut cream is there is no waste with coconut whipping cream, you whip up the whole can. Whereas with regular coconut cream, you only use the hardened cream section that has risen to the top and throw out the water left behind.
- You can use either homemade vegan condensed milk or a store-bought option.
- Prep time does not include time spent setting in the freezer.
I made this recipe and found it extremely delicious, and I recommend doing it of course, but in my opinion it was very very sweet to the taste. Maybe with the half of the Oreos and leaving the ones at the top would work better for me. The rest it’s awesome: texture, smoothness, flavour… Everything just tastes so good!
Thanks for sharing Dani. 🙂
LOVE it LOVE it LOVE it!!! Best Ice cream I have had. 🙂 🙂 🙂
It looks amazing and I can’t wait to try it. Is there any other vegan alternative besides coconut please? Lil one reacts to it.
Hi Kash, you could try a different vegan whipped cream other than coconut. All the best! 🙂
This is the best ice cream ever!
Hahaha, thanks, yes it is really good! 🙂
The pictures look so…..ice creamy? Haha! Mine came out very, I’m not sure how to put it. It kind of sticks together and is kind of like a sticky pudding. Even after being in the freezer for 24 hrs. What did we do wrong?
Hi Kat, that is such a pity! I have no idea what might’ve gone wrong! Did anything strange happen along the way that you could point to as a possible reason? Hope it still tastes nice!
