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.
