In an ice cream maker pint container, combine milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, vanilla pudding mix, and chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs.
Whisk the ingredients until smooth.
Place the lid on the pint and freeze overnight, or until completely solid.
Once frozen, run the outside of the pint under warm water for a few seconds.
Place the pint into the ice cream maker and process on the 'Lite Ice Cream' setting.
After the first spin, create a small well in the center of the ice cream and add a splash of milk.
Re-spin the ice cream until it is rich and creamy.
Chop additional chocolate sandwich cookies and add them to the ice cream.
Run the 'Mix-In' cycle to incorporate the cookie pieces.
Pour melted chocolate into a disposable piping bag.
Using your fingers, spread the chocolate to evenly coat the entire inside of the bag.
Spoon the freshly made cookies and cream ice cream into the chocolate-coated bag.
Top with extra crumbled cookie pieces if desired.
Twist the top of the bag to seal it closed.
Place in the freezer for about 10 minutes to allow the chocolate shell to harden completely.
To serve, peel away the piping bag, crack the chocolate shell, and enjoy.
Store the finished ice cream in the freezer for up to one week; consume within a few days for best texture as the chocolate shell may soften over time.

No, this recipe is specifically designed for an ice cream maker with Lite Ice Cream and Mix-In cycles. The machine is essential for achieving the creamy texture.
About 10 minutes in the freezer for the chocolate shell to harden completely before peeling away the piping bag.
Standard chocolate sandwich cookies like Oreos work perfectly. Chop them into small pieces for even distribution throughout the ice cream.
Yes, you can use other flavored protein powders like cookies and cream or birthday cake, but this will change the overall flavor profile.
Prepare the pint container the day before and freeze overnight, or until completely solid, before running it through the ice cream maker.
