🥛 Cookies & Cream Milkshake

Leftover Oreos from a recent baking session? Turn them into a decadent Oreo milkshake. This recipe is fast, forgiving, and perfect for cooling off on a hot day. You don’t need a lot of technique—just the right ice cream-to-milk balance to get a thick, creamy texture you can sip or spoon.

If you’re feeling ambitious you can use Oreos to build cookies-and-cream desserts, but when motivation is low and a rich milkshake sounds perfect, this simple recipe delivers every time.

🧾 What You’ll Need

Ingredients

This cookies-and-cream milkshake uses just a few ingredients, plus optional garnishes.

• Oreos: Classic chocolate Oreos are ideal for that authentic cookies-and-cream flavor. Mint or other chocolate-based varieties also work; avoid vanilla-cookie versions since their flavor fades when blended.
• Vanilla ice cream: Vanilla bean or plain vanilla makes the creamiest base. Use plenty of ice cream and just enough milk to blend smoothly for a rich shake.
• Milk: A few tablespoons to loosen the ice cream. Whole milk or half-and-half yields extra richness, but any milk will work.
• Vanilla extract: A small amount boosts the vanilla flavor.

Equipment

All you need is a blender. A high-powered blender works fastest, but an ordinary countertop blender will make a great shake too. If you want a classic presentation, serve in tall milkshake glasses.

📋 Instructions

Quick steps to make two milkshakes are below. Adjust quantities to make more or fewer servings.

1. Place 6 Oreo cookies in the blender and pulse on low until the cookies are broken into small pieces.

2. Add vanilla ice cream (about 12 oz / 2 cups for two servings), 3 tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Blend until smooth. Add a splash more milk to thin the shake, or more ice cream if you prefer a thicker, spoonable texture.

3. Optional: drizzle chocolate syrup around the inside of two glasses. Pour the milkshake into the glasses and finish with whipped cream, an Oreo, a cherry, or chocolate shavings.
