A couple months ago we decided to buy a Ice Cream machine for at home.  My boys LOVE ice creamand I thought it would be fun to make different flavors for them.  One of my fondest memories growing up was making homemade ice cream with my Grandparents on the 4th of July.  Back then we used the crank machine and we would get a chance to help crank and make the ice cream.

Although that would have been fun, I could only imagine my Hubby ending up being the one who had to do all the cranking when the boys and I got board.  So, we bought the Cuisinart Ice Cream Machineinstead and all I do is push a button.  Love it!

Can you guess the first flavor my kids asked for?  One of their favorite treats is our Oreo Cupcake Recipe so of course they wanted Homemade Oreo Ice Cream that was full of cookie pieces!  It was amazing!  One of my favorite ice creams by far!

Remember, this recipe does require that you have an ice cream maker!

Step 4 – While the Ice Cream maker is turned on, pour the mixture into the frozen freezer bowl and let it mix until thickened.  Mine took about 20 minutes.
