- 1 cup crushed Oreos (about 10 cookies)
- 1 cup crushed Chips Ahoy cookies (about 10 cookies)
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Add the Blue Dye: Gradually add blue food dye to the vanilla base, starting with 5-6 drops if using liquid dye. Whisk well and adjust until you achieve the desired bright Cookie Monster blue color.
