Oreo Milkshake

An Oreo Milkshake is a creamy, dreamy, cookies-and-cream classic that I love whipping up when I want a cold, sweet treat in minutes. It’s thick, rich, and packed with chunks of Oreo cookies blended into smooth vanilla ice cream and milk. Whether I’m making it for dessert, an afternoon pick-me-up, or a nostalgic trip back to childhood, it never disappoints.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it’s fast, foolproof, and insanely satisfying. It only takes a few basic ingredients, and I can easily adjust the thickness or sweetness depending on my mood. The Oreos add just the right amount of crunch and chocolate flavor without overpowering the creamy base. It’s also super customizable, and I can dress it up with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or even more crushed cookies if I’m feeling extra indulgent.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 1 large or 2 small milkshakes. It takes about 5 minutes from start to finish—perfect for satisfying a sweet craving on the spot.

Variations

• I sometimes use chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla for a double chocolate version.

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

• I’ve made it with almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free version using non-dairy ice cream.

• When I want a thicker shake, I reduce the milk or add a scoop of ice cream.

• I occasionally add a spoonful of peanut butter or Nutella for extra richness.

storage/reheating

I always enjoy this milkshake fresh. If I need to make it ahead, I store it in the freezer for a short time and blend it again before serving to refresh the texture. No reheating is needed—this treat is best served ice cold.

FAQs

Can I make this milkshake without a blender?

Yes, I crush the Oreos finely and mix them into softened ice cream with milk using a whisk or spoon. The texture won’t be as smooth, but it still tastes great.

How do I make it thicker?

I reduce the amount of milk and use more ice cream. I also let the ice cream sit out for just a minute or two—not too soft—so the shake stays nice and thick.

Can I use different flavors of Oreos?

Absolutely. I’ve used golden Oreos, mint, peanut butter, and even seasonal flavors for fun twists.

What’s the best ice cream to use?

I go with high-quality vanilla ice cream as the base, but cookies and cream or chocolate work great too depending on the flavor I’m after.

Can I turn this into a milkshake bar?

Yes! I set up different mix-ins like sprinkles, sauces, candy pieces, and flavored Oreos so everyone can build their own.

Conclusion

Oreo Milkshake is one of those classic, no-fuss desserts that I keep coming back to. It’s creamy, crunchy, and incredibly easy to make in just minutes. Whether I keep it simple or load it up with toppings, every sip brings that rich cookies-and-cream flavor I love. It’s the kind of treat that never goes out of style.
