We love Oreos in everything from Oreo Bundt Cake to Air Fried Oreo Cookies and Oreo Overnight Oats, too. But now we're serving Oreos up in our drinks too. And I'm not just talking about our Cookies and Cream Milkshake (although, that is delicious).
This cookies and cream iced coffee recipe is a PERFECT blend of sweet chocolate and smooth coffee. It tastes great hot and cold, but we enjoy it best over a tall glass of ice (or blended for a frappe-like drink).
Making homemade iced coffee recipes is easy, and adding Oreos makes them fun! Your Oreo coffee drink is one you'll want to make often and is one that you won't soon forget.
But make sure to try my Maple Syrup Iced Coffee, Caramel Iced Coffee, and Vanilla Iced Latte when you finally run out of cookies (is that even possible?)

💛 Why You'll Love This Recipe
- It's quick and easy. Made with just a few simple and basic ingredients, you can have an iced oreo coffee ready to drink in no time. This recipe takes about as much time as this Iced White Chocolate Mocha.
- Simple ingredients. Coffee, ice, cookies, milk, and sweetener are all you'll need to make this recipe, but don't forget some whipped cream for a fun garnish on top!
- You can scale it up or down. Make more than one glass, or just make one for yourself. This recipe can easily be adjusted to make as many or as few glasses as you want.
🛒 Ingredients
Coffee- You will need some freshly brewed coffee as the cookies dissolve better in a warmer drink.
Cookies- Use some Oreo cookies for rich chocolate flavor in every sip. You can try any flavor Oreo you'd like, but I prefer to stick with the traditional chocolate ones. Peppermint Oreos could be a fun seasonal twist if you want a Peppermint Iced Coffee.
Milk- Use any milk desired to help tone down the bitterness in the coffee. Higher fat milks like whole milk or heavy cream can remove the bitterness more than a low-fat option.
See the recipe card below for full ingredients and instructions.
🔀 Substitutions & Variations
Dairy-Free Variation: Replace the milk with your preferred dairy-free alternative to make this recipe vegan-friendly. Oreo cookies themselves are typically vegan, but double-check the ingredients to ensure they align with your dietary preferences.
Garnish Options: Consider using store-bought coconut whipped cream or any other dairy-free whipped topping as a delicious garnish for your Oreo cold coffee.
Adjusting Serving Size: Depending on your cup size and the amount of ice used, you may be able to prepare two servings of this Oreo cold coffee recipe without doubling the ingredients. Adjust accordingly to suit your needs.
💰 Budget-Friendly Tips
Use store-brand cookies: Generic chocolate sandwich cookies taste the same as Oreos but cost significantly less.
Brew extra coffee: Make a larger pot in the morning and chill leftovers for iced coffee throughout the week.
Make two servings: This recipe often stretches to two glasses, serve with extra ice to make it go further.
Buy bulk cookies: Family-size or warehouse packs drastically reduce the cost per cookie, perfect for multiple recipes or kids' snacks.
🥄 Instructions for Oreo Iced Coffee Recipe
Step 1: Brew your favorite coffee.
Step 2: Add the coffee to a tall glass.
Step 3: Add in the Oreo cookies. Submerge the cookies. Let rest 1-2 minutes.
Step 4: Stir the coffee and cookies with a spoon to break up the cookies into fine crumbs.
Step 5: Once the cookies have dissolved, strain them through a fine mesh strainer.
You will still have some chunks remaining. For a smoother coffee, using a Nut Milk Bag works best.
Step 6: You can let the coffee cool more or add it to your drinking glass at this point. Stir in the sugar until dissolved.
Step 7: Add in the ice cubes. You'll want enough ice to fill the cup about ⅔s of the way full.
Step 8: Add in the milk. You'll want enough to bring the drink to the top of the glass.
Step 9: Stir to combine. The cookie pieces will settle at the bottom of the glass.
Step 10: Top with whipped cream and an Oreo cookie for garnish.
Serve with a straw, and enjoy!
👩🏻🍳 Expert Tips
- For a smoother texture, strain out more of the Oreo cookie pieces using a nut milk bag or sieve. While a sieve removes many pieces, a nut milk bag may be more effective.
- If desired, blend the drink with added ice to create a frappe-like beverage for a refreshing twist.
❄️ Make Ahead Instructions
Make Ahead: Brew the coffee in advance and chill it in the refrigerator until ready to use. Several hours before serving, mix all ingredients for the iced coffee (except the ice) and keep it covered in the fridge. When ready to serve, stir well and pour over ice for a perfectly chilled drink.

❓ Recipe FAQs

Adding ice to anything makes it feel more refreshing, but adding milk to lattes helps to give the coffee a richer, velvety texture which is hard to beat. Adding flavors and sweeteners makes them too good to resist.

Misty Girl says
This was a great recipe and easy to make. I used some cheap Oreos that were smaller and less chocolatey called Twisters and used instant coffee plus brown sugar. It tasted great and it was sooo cheap. I added some milk and vanilla creamer. Using Oreos had less debris Leftover after draining through the sieve. The Twister Oreos had more "slime" leftover. Either way it's all good.
