Mocha Madness Ice Cream

Mocha Madness Ice Cream

Being lactose intolerant is a culinary challenge, particularly when dining out.  Virtually all restaurants use dairy products in most of their dishes.  This is especially true with dessert menus.  So I rarely order sweets.  However, with so many lactose free dairy products now available, making homemade ice cream has become a real treat. This delicious ice cream is made with Organic Valley lactose free half and half (of course you can use regular half and half).  It has become one of my favorite desserts.  

Three ingredients make this ice cream so exquisite: chocolate, espresso powder, and bits of Oreo cookies.  These ingredients tie it all together to make the perfect combination of flavors.

The Oreos are stirred in just before freezing the ice cream.  Transfer the ice cream to a plastic container and freeze until firm.
