This is hands-down my kids’ most requested Ninja Creami flavor — right up there with mango ice cream and Dole Whip, plus other repeat favorites like S’mores, Thai tea ice cream, cookie monster, and cookie butter. There’s just something about vanilla ice cream loaded with Oreo cookies that never gets old.
I’ve tested a lot of Creami bases, and this one hits the sweet spot: rich, creamy, and smooth without tasting heavy. Same nostalgic cookies-and-cream vibe, but better because you control the mix-ins. And yes, this is the same Oreo obsession that inspired my Cookies and Cream Cinnamon Rolls — once you start, it’s hard to stop.

Notes
- If it looks crumbly after the first spin, don’t worry. That’s normal. Hit Re-Spin and it usually turns perfect.
- Need it creamier? Add a tiny splash of milk (like 1–2 tablespoons) before re-spinning. A little helps a lot.
- Don’t mix the Oreos in before freezing. They get weird and soggy. Add them after spinning using the Mix-In button so you get real chunks.
- The cream cheese matters. You won’t taste “cream cheese,” it just makes everything smoother and less icy.
- Crush the cookies, but not into dust. You want chunks you can actually bite into.
- Serving leftovers: Let the pint sit out for 5 minutes, or just run Re-Spin again to bring it back to that fresh-made texture.
- Want it extra Oreo-loaded? Add more cookies and run Mix-In again.
