# What You'll Need:

→ Main ingredients

01 - 480 ml cold heavy whipping cream
02 - 397 g sweetened condensed milk
03 - 0.5 tsp peppermint extract
04 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
05 - Green gel food coloring, optional
06 - 130 g mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
07 - 8 Oreo cookies, coarsely crushed

→ For serving and decoration

08 - Fresh mint leaves
09 - Additional Oreo cookies

# Steps To Follow:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Avoid overbeating to maintain a smooth texture.
02 - In a separate bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract. Incorporate 1–2 drops of green gel food coloring for a classic mint appearance, if desired.
03 - Gently fold the whipped cream into the sweetened condensed milk mixture using a spatula, maintaining as much air as possible for a light consistency.
04 - Carefully fold in the chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate and the crushed Oreo cookies until evenly distributed.
05 - Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the surface. Press a sheet of parchment paper directly onto the surface to minimize ice crystal formation. Freeze for 4–6 hours or until fully set.
06 - Scoop the ice cream into a glass dessert bowl. Garnish with a mint sprig and vertically position an Oreo cookie for height and texture. Serve on a wooden surface for optimal visual appeal.

# Notes and Tips:

01 - Ensure all equipment and ingredients are well chilled to help the mixture whip efficiently and yield a smoother texture.
02 - Fold ingredients gently to prevent the ice cream from losing its volume and becoming dense.
