Is Oreo Vegan or Non-Vegan?
Oreo cookies are technically dairy-free, but they may contain traces of milk. Many vegans still enjoy them. The ingredients don’t list dairy, making them suitable for most plant-based diets. Some flavors contain animal products, so always check the label.
Classic Oreos, however, are typically considered vegan-friendly. If you’re super strict about cross-contamination, you may want to opt for a certified vegan alternative.
🛒Ingredients You'll Need
- Oat Milk – A creamy, dairy-free base for smooth ice cream.
- Coconut Milk – Adds richness and a natural sweetness.
- Blue Agave – A plant-based sweetener with a mild caramel flavor.
- Vanilla Bean Paste – Deepens the flavor and adds warmth.
- Oreo Cookies – The star of the show for crunch and chocolatey goodness!
See recipe card for quantities.
Substitution and Additions
- Swap Oat Milk ➝ Use almond milk for a nuttier flavor.
- Replace Blue Agave ➝ Use maple syrup or coconut sugar.
- Want extra chocolate? ➝ Add a handful of dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Additional Ingredients: Peanut butter swirls, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut.
How to Make Vegan Oreo Ice Cream
- Blend: Add oat milk, coconut milk, blue agave, and vanilla bean paste to a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Freeze: Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container and freeze for 24 hours.
- Spin: Place in the Ninja Creami machine and select the Ice Cream function.
- Add Mix-ins: After the first spin, add crushed Oreo cookies and select the Mix-In function.
- Enjoy: Scoop into a bowl and savor your homemade vegan Oreo ice cream!
🍒Fun Mix-Ins and Topping Ideas
- Chocolate Chips – Adding chocolate chips gives this ice cream an extra chocolatey crunch. They stay firm even after freezing, adding bursts of chocolate flavor in every bite.
- Peanut Butter Swirls – A peanut butter swirl takes this ice cream to the next level. The nutty, salty contrast pairs beautifully with the sweet Oreo cookies, making it a must-try addition.
- Banana Slices – Sliced bananas add natural sweetness and a creamy texture. They blend well with the cookies and make the ice cream taste like a delicious frozen banana cream pie.
- Shredded Coconut – For a tropical twist, shredded coconut is the perfect mix-in. It adds a subtle chewiness and enhances the overall texture of the ice cream.
Flavor Variations to Try
- Double Chocolate – Add cocoa powder for an extra chocolatey kick. This deepens the flavor and makes the ice cream even richer.
- Mint Oreo – A few drops of peppermint extract give this ice cream a refreshing, cool taste. It’s like a dairy-free Thin Mint cookie in ice cream form!
- Cherry Chocolate – Add chopped cherries to bring a fruity contrast to the rich, chocolatey Oreos. This combination tastes like a black forest dessert in ice cream form.
- Chocolate Peanut Butter – Combining peanut butter and chocolate Oreos is a no-fail combo. The nutty richness of peanut butter makes every spoonful even more satisfying.
How to Store Leftovers
Store in the Ninja Creami pint container with a flat surface on top. This prevents damage to the blade when respinning.
When you're ready to enjoy them, you can gently thaw or soften the mixture in a microwave oven (using the ice cream setting). Just remember that respinning it in the Ninja Creami will pulverize the Oreo cookies.
