8 servings
For the custard base
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ tsp fine salt
- 5 large pasteurized egg yolks
Ingredient noteThe eggs here are pasteurized, which kills salmonella, so the egg itself is fine during pregnancy even when it is not cooked.
- 1 ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
For the mix-in
- 20 oreo cookies, roughly chopped into ½-inch pieces
Instructions
- 1
Combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is steaming and just beginning to simmer around the edges, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Whisk the pasteurized egg yolks in a large mixing bowl until smooth and slightly pale, about 1 minute. Slowly pour about 1 cup of the hot cream mixture into the yolks in a thin stream, whisking constantly to temper them. Pour the tempered yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture, whisking to combine.
