🥛 The Ultimate Oreo Milkshake
Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1 large or 2 small shakes
Ingredients
4-5 Large Scoops of premium Vanilla bean ice cream (about 2 cups)
1/2 Cup Whole milk (use less for a thicker shake)
6-8 Oreo Cookies (plus extra for topping)
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional, for extra depth)
Toppings: Whipped cream, crushed Oreo crumbs, and one whole cookie for the rim.
Instructions
Chill Your Glass: For the best experience, place your serving glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before you start. This keeps the shake from melting too quickly.
Blend the Base: Add the vanilla ice cream, milk, and vanilla extract into your blender. Blend on high for about 15–20 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add the Cookies: Drop in the Oreo cookies. Pro-Tip: Pulse the blender 4–6 times rather than blending continuously. This leaves delicious “cookie chunks” throughout the shake instead of turning it into a grey liquid.
Check Consistency: * Too thick? Add a splash more milk.
Too thin? Add another scoop of ice cream.
Assemble: Pour into your chilled glass. Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream, a sprinkle of cookie dust, and a whole Oreo tucked into the side.
💡 Tips for the Best Shake
Don’t use ice: Adding ice cubes will water down the flavor. Stick to ice cream and cold milk for that rich, professional texture.
Softened Ice Cream: Let your ice cream sit on the counter for 2–3 minutes before scooping. It blends much smoother without needing as much milk.
Double Stuff: If you love the filling, use “Double Stuf” Oreos for an even creamier, sweeter result.
