🛒 Ingredients
- 6 Oreo cookies
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream (or cookies & cream for extra Oreo flavor)
- ½ cup whole milk (more or less for desired thickness)
Optional Toppings:
- Whipped cream
- Crushed Oreos
- Chocolate syrup
- Maraschino cherry
- Sprinkles or mini chocolate chips
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Blend the ingredients
In a blender, combine Oreo cookies, vanilla ice cream, and milk. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add more milk for a thinner shake or more ice cream for a thicker one.
2. Serve immediately
Pour into a tall glass. Top with whipped cream, crushed Oreos, and a drizzle of chocolate syrup if desired. Enjoy with a wide straw or spoon!
💡 Tips
- Use frozen Oreos for an even thicker milkshake.
- Don’t over-blend if you like cookie chunks for texture.
- Chill your glass before pouring in the shake to keep it colder longer.
- Use whole milk for richness, or swap in oat milk or almond milk for a dairy-free twist (with non-dairy ice cream too).
- Double the batch for sharing — or keep it all to yourself!
🔄 Variations and Substitutions
- Chocolate Oreo Shake: Use chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla.
- Mint Oreo Shake: Add a few drops of peppermint extract or use Mint Oreos.
- Peanut Butter Oreo Shake: Add 2 tablespoons of peanut butter before blending.
- Dairy-Free Version: Use plant-based milk and vegan ice cream.
