Oreo Milkshake

This Oreo milkshake is thick, creamy, and packed with cookies-and-cream flavor. I make it when I’m craving a sweet, icy treat that’s as fun to drink as it is to make.

Why I’ll Love This Recipe

I love how indulgent and satisfying this milkshake is. It only takes a few ingredients and a blender to whip up a dessert that tastes just like what I’d get at a diner. It’s perfect for a hot day or when I need a quick dessert that never fails to impress.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• Vanilla ice cream

• Milk (whole milk or any milk of choice)

• Oreo cookies

• Whipped cream (optional, for topping)

• Crushed Oreos (optional, for garnish)

Directions

1. I add the ice cream, milk, and Oreo cookies to a blender.

2. I blend until smooth and creamy, making sure the cookies are fully crushed into the mixture.

3. I pour the milkshake into a tall glass.

4. I top it with whipped cream and crushed Oreos if I want to make it extra special.

5. I serve it with a straw and enjoy it right away while it’s cold and thick.

Servings and Timing

This recipe makes 1 large or 2 small milkshakes. It takes about 5 minutes to prepare from start to finish.

Variations

• I sometimes use chocolate ice cream for an ultra-rich version.

• For a mint twist, I add a drop of peppermint extract or use mint Oreos.

• A scoop of peanut butter blends in beautifully with the cookie flavor.

• I’ve made it with dairy-free ice cream and almond milk for a vegan version.

• For a thicker shake, I use less milk or freeze the Oreos beforehand.

Storage/Reheating

I always drink this milkshake immediately. It doesn’t store well, as it melts quickly and loses its creamy texture. I don’t reheat it—it’s best cold and freshly blended.

FAQs

Can I make this without a blender?

Yes, I crush the Oreos and mix them into softened ice cream and milk by hand. It won’t be as smooth, but it works in a pinch.

How do I make it thicker?

I use less milk or add more ice cream until it reaches my desired consistency.

Can I make it dairy-free?

Absolutely. I use non-dairy ice cream and plant-based milk for a delicious vegan treat.

What kind of Oreos work best?

I usually use classic Oreos, but double-stuf, golden, or flavored varieties all work well.

Can I turn this into a boozy milkshake?

Yes, I’ve added a splash of Baileys or Kahlúa for a fun adult version.

Conclusion

This Oreo milkshake is one of my favorite no-fuss desserts. It’s creamy, rich, and packed with cookie goodness. Whether I’m making it for myself or to share, it’s always a hit and gone in minutes.
