This easy to make ube cookies and cream ice cream is made with coconut cream, ube halaya, and chopped Oreos. It’s homemade ice cream made simple, and it might just be the most beautiful scoop you’ve ever made.
Back in 2024, Jack in the Box featured limited time Halloween treat called Witch Please Shake. Of course I tried it and I absolutely loved it. It was my first time trying the combination of ube ice cream mixed with Oreos. Who would have known that pairing would be so delicious?!
Two years later and I’m still thinking about that shake. Let’s make that flavor combo at home. Here’s my version of ube Oreo ice cream.
This no-fuss recipe comes together with a just a handful of ingredients:
- coconut cream
- whole milk
- ube halaya
- sugar
- salt
The result is a creamy, dreamy scoop of tropical coconut notes and earthy ube flavor paired with sweet cookie crunch.
Whether you’re Filipino, grew up eating ube everything, or you’re just discovering this flavor for the first time, this ube cookies and cream ice cream is the kind of recipe you’ll want to make on repeat all summer long.
Ube is having its 15 minutes of fame at the moment and I think it deserves every bit of the hype!
Meet the Instant Chill
I was gifted the Instant Pot Instant Chill and immediately feel head over heels for it. Honestly, I wasn’t prepared for just HOW EASY it would be use.
I already have a compression ice cream machine, so I don’t have to deal the conventional ice cream makers that require you to freeze the mixing bowl overnight. But, this new machine is even easier. You just pour, churn, and scoop. SO SIMPLE.
