Why This Recipe Works
- Perfectly Balanced Flavors: The Oreo cookies combine perfectly with the smooth vanilla ice cream to create a creamy, cookies-and-cream texture.
- Quick and Easy: You only need a blender and a few ingredients—Oreo cookies, ice cream, and milk—to make this delicious milkshake in minutes.
- Endless Customizations: Add extra Oreo cookies, chocolate syrup, or whipped cream to take it to the next level.
Ingredients
- 8 Oreo cookies (feel free to use a different brand for a twist)
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup whole milk (for a rich texture, but any milk works)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Chocolate syrup (for drizzling)
- Extra Oreo cookies (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: Place the Oreo cookies into a freezer bag and gently crush them using a rolling pin. Don’t crush them too finely—some chunks will make your milkshake even better!
- Blend the Ingredients: Pour the milk into your blender first, followed by the ice cream and Oreo crumbs. Blend until smooth. If you’d like, add the vanilla extract at this point.
- Adjust Consistency: If the milkshake is too thick, add more milk. If you prefer a thicker shake, add a bit more ice cream.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the milkshake into two glasses. Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream, drizzle with chocolate syrup, and garnish with a whole Oreo cookie.
- Enjoy: Grab a straw, and maybe even a spoon, and enjoy this decadent Oreo milkshake right away!
Expert Tips for Success
- Quality Ingredients: Use good-quality vanilla ice cream for the best flavor and texture.
- Blender Tips: Make sure your blender is powerful enough to crush the Oreos and blend smoothly. If your blender struggles, add a little more milk.
- Thicker Shake: For a thicker milkshake, add more ice cream. For a thinner version, just add extra milk.
- Chunky Texture: If you like a chunkier texture, reserve a few crushed Oreos and stir them into the shake just before serving.
Fun Variations to Try
- Peanut Butter Oreo Shake: Add a spoonful of peanut butter for a nutty twist.
- Strawberry Oreo Shake: Swap the vanilla ice cream for strawberry for a fruity variation.
- Chocolate Overload: Use chocolate ice cream for a double chocolate experience.
- Golden Caramel Oreo Shake: Use Golden Oreos and drizzle caramel syrup for a delicious blondie-style shake.
- Boozy Oreo Shake: Add a splash of whipped cream vodka for an adult-only treat.
