Blue Monster Cookie Milkshake

🍯 Why This Recipe Works

1. Kids love it! My kids are huge fans of cookies and milkshakes, so putting them together sounds like a no-brainer. Adding the blue coloring just adds to the fun!
2. It's quick. You can blend up a glass or several servings worth at once, and it's ready in seconds flat, making this perfect for a quick drink option.
3. Minimal ingredients. Sticking with the basics, we'll only need 5 ingredients to bring this recipe together. Add some whipped cream on top, if desired.

🧾 Substitutions

Milk. If you want, you can use nondairy milk, low fat milk, or even half and half instead.

Ice cream. If you don't have vanilla ice cream you can use dairy free ice cream (like coconut based ice cream) or even vanilla frozen yogurt. I often use vanilla frozen yogurt instead of ice cream.

Fancy Cup Rim Idea

Want to make your drink look festive and fun? Do this before blending your shake:

• Spread some canned chocolate frosting around the rim of your drinking glass. You'll want it about 1 inch wide around the rim at the top.
• Next, gently press on some broken pieces of Oreo cookies and Chips ahoy cookies. Place the glass into the freezer while you prepare the milkshake.
• After filling your glass with the blue milkshake, top it with whipped cream and more cookie pieces.

🔪 Instructions

Step 1: Add your vanilla ice cream and ½ cup of milk to your blender.

Step 2: Add in the cookies.

Step 3: Add the lid and blend on High speed for about 1 minute or until smooth.

Step 4: Open the lid and add in some blue food coloring.

Step 5: Blend again to combine. Open the lid and add in more coloring to make the blue darker, if needed.

Step 6: Pour into a drinking glass.

Serve immediately and enjoy!

🍴 Recipe Tips

You can adjust the consistency of this milkshake to your own liking by adding in some ice (if you want it thicker) or more milk (if you want it thinner).

You can double or triple this milkshake recipe as needed (assuming you can fit that much in your blender). This recipe only makes enough for one tall glass, so if you're looking to make enough for a family, doubling or tripling will cut down on a lot of time by just blending it all together.
