In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, sugar, and coconut extract until sugar is dissolved. Add the xanthan gum and whisk again until it is completely dissolved.
Using milk mixture, make ice cream according to ice cream maker manufacturer's instructions. Once the ice cream has reached a soft-serve state, gently add in the Oreo pieces and coconut flakes. Continue to freeze/churn for a few more minutes. Spread ice cream into a bread pan or container. Optional: add a few oreo crumbs and coconut flakes to the top of your ice cream as a garnish. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and store in your freezer for six hours or until completely firm.

Notes
*If you are using a frozen bowl ice cream maker, make sure it is completely frozen (usually a full 24 hours in the freezer) prior to making this recipe.**You can find xanthan gum in most grocery stores in the baking aisle. We love using the xanthan gum made by Bob's Red Mill.
