Mississippi Mud Pie Ice cream Churned in an Ice cream maker

It's vacation time and my kids were bored of doing nothing. They were bored of playing in the pool, watching television even going out. So one fine day my daughter got this idea of making ice cream rather than sitting idle. As the ice cream bowl was already frozen, she wanted to try something different rather than making a vanilla or chocolate ice cream. So when she was searching for ice cream recipes she stumbled on a website which has lots of different varieties of ice creams. She read about this and told me what all ingredients are required. I bought all the ingredients and we started making the ice cream.

This recipe is so easy that if you have an ice cream maker at home kids can make this on their own. This website has not only ice cream recipes but also milkshakes, sorbet and so on. We thought this is a perfect thing to make and enjoy during a hot sunny day. 

This is a Philadelphia style churned ice cream which is very easy to make and can be made within minutes. In this recipe we are adding chocolate in 3 different forms and adding oreos will take this to another level. Hope you all will like this and please try this out before the summer ends.
