This bright blue homemade Cookie Monster ice cream is the perfect dessert for a Sesame Street-themed party or any time you want to bring some fun to the table. Since it’s no-churn, it’s easy to whip up this creamy, crunchy, cookie treat anytime.
Cookie Monster Ice Cream Recipe Ingredients
This vibrant blue Cookie Monster ice cream recipe offers an indulgent treat, thanks to whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract for added richness.

You’ll need:
- 2 cups of whipping cream
- 10-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
- Blue food coloring
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, optional
- 10 Mini Oreos
- 10 Mini Chips Ahoy
How to Make Cookie Monster Ice Cream
The beauty of this ice cream is that you don’t need an ice cream machine to make it, just a bowl and an electric mixer. Let’s get started.
STEP ONE: Use a stand mixer, hand mixer with a wire whisk attachment, or a wire whisk to whip the whipping cream until frothy peaks form. Set aside.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
Freeze the bowl and whisk for a few minutes before whipping the cream. Cream whips best when it is cold, so using cold cream along with cold utensils will give you the best volume.
STEP TWO: Color the sweetened condensed milk with blue food coloring, adding a few drops at a time until it reaches the right shade of bright blue.
If you are using vanilla extract, add it in this step.
STEP THREE: Slowly pour the colored sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream and mix gently until just combined.
If necessary, add a few more drops of food coloring.
STEP FOUR: Pour the mixture into a loaf pan and gently press in the cookies.
STEP FIVE: Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least five hours or overnight.
STEP SIX: Serve with extra Mini Oreos and Mini Chips Ahoy.
Recipe Variations
COOKIES: Get creative with the cookies that you add to the ice cream.
Cookie Monster’s favorite chocolate chip cookies are essential, but feel free to add your favorites. You can even add our eggless edible cookie dough.
PRO TIP:
Adding crunchy cookies is a must to this recipe, as they hold up beautifully in the ice cream!
MARSHMALLOW: You could add swirls of marshmallow cream or mini marshmallows to this as well.
CHOCOLATE CHIPS: Add in some mini chocolate chips for an even more irresistible chocolate flavor.
COOKIES: Want even more yumminess? Use full-size Oreos and Chips Ahoy to really load up the flavor! You could also use Double Stuffed Oreos in this recipe.
How to serve Monster Ice Cream
For a classic combination, consider pairing it with some freshly baked oatmeal chocolate chip cookies or a warm brownie.
Take your ice cream game up a notch by sandwiching a generous scoop of Cookie Monster ice cream between two chocolate chip cookies.
Blend a few scoops of blue ice cream with milk for a thick and indulgent milkshake.
Elevate your dessert game by creating ice cream sundaes. Layer scoops of ice cream with hot fudge or caramel sauce, whipped cream, and maraschino cherries.
