Cookie Monster Ice Cream

For awhile every time I logged into Pinterest, I was seeing pins for Cookie Monster Ice Cream. I was intrigued and wanted to make it for my kids because I thought they would enjoy it. But every pin I clicked on was for non churn ice cream and I wanted to make it in my ice cream maker. So I created my own version using my ice cream maker. Essentially cookie monster ice cream is vanilla ice cream dyed blue with crushed up chocolate chip and Oreo cookies added to it.

My kids loved this ice cream! They thought it was so good! It is essentially cookies and cream ice cream but with chocolate chip cookies added to it.
