📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a medium pot, combine the heavy cream, milk, sugar, and salt. Place over medium heat, and stir frequently, just until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is steaming (do not boil). Remove from the heat.
2
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Remove 1/3 cup of the warm cream mixture from the pot. While whisking the yolks constantly, slowly drizzle the cream into the eggs to temper. Transfer the warmed egg mixture to the pot with the remaining cream mixture, whisking well to combine. Return the pot to medium heat, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula to scrape the bottom and corners of the pan, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (on a thermometer, the temperature should be 160°F to 180°F). Immediately pour the mixture through a mesh strainer into a large bowl. Set the bowl over a bowl of ice water and stir to cool the mixture.

Add the vanilla and stir until the mixture is at room temperature. Cover and refrigerate the ice cream base until cold, ⏱️ 4 hours or overnight.
4
Transfer the ice cream base to an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions until thickened to the texture of soft serve, 20 to ⏱️ 30 minutes. Add in 15 chopped sandwich cookies and churn for ⏱️ 5 minutes more until well combined.
5
You can eat this directly from the machine, like soft serve, or transfer to a container. Sprinkle the top of the ice cream with the remaining 3 chopped sandwich cookies. Wrap the container in plastic wrap and freeze for at least ⏱️ 6 hours, or up to ⏱️ 48 hours for best texture and scoop-a-bility.
