🥘 Ingredients
Whole milk- Adding in whole milk will help to get your milkshake to the perfect consistency.
Heavy cream- Add in heavy cream to replace the richness and creamy consistency you're used to getting from ice cream.
Vanilla extract- This is a flavor enhancer.
Powdered sugar- Use powdered sugar to make the milkshake sweeter without changing the consistency.
Ice cubes- This is the base of the milkshake recipe. Use ice cubes to get the shake thick and cold.
Salt- Salt is a natural flavor enhancer but in frozen drinks and recipes it helps to keep them colder longer.
Oreo cookies- Use any flavor of oreo cookie to make this drink delicious!

🧾 Substitutions
Heavy cream. Instead of using heavy cream you can use coconut milk or whole fat milk. The results won't be as rich and creamy as if they had been made with heavy cream, but they will still be very delicious.
Milk. If you want, you can use nondairy milk, low fat milk, or even half and half instead.
📖 Variations
Oreo variations. There are countless different flavor variations of Oreo cookies and you can use any of them! (The green mint ones would be great for St. Patricks Day).
Also, don't feel obligated to stick with the name brand versions of these cookies. Offbrand cookies work just as great too!
🍴 Recipe Tips
Changing Consistency
You can adjust the consistency of this milkshake to your own liking by adding in more ice (if you want it thicker) or more milk (if you want it thinner).
More Chocolate
If you really want to enhance the chocolate flavor you can use chocolate milk instead of regular milk. This makes the milkshake feel a lot richer in taste, but it's honestly great either way.
🥣 Topping Ideas
I took a plastic milkshake glass (from Target $3 for a pack of 3) and then dipped the rim in chocolate syrup and cookie crumbs before freezing for 5 minutes as I made the milkshake.
After filling the cup with my homemade oreo milkshake I topped with off with whipped cream, a maraschino cherry, and an oreo cookie on the rim. To get the cookie to secure nicely, I cut a tiny wedge in the side of the cookie.
💭 FAQs
If you do not have a blender handy you can pulverize the oreo milkshake ingredients in a food processor instead.
No, I don't recommend storing your milkshake at all. Milkshakes are best served when freshly made and if kept in the fridge or freezer, the milkshake will melt or solidify and not be the correct consistency.
If your milkshake melts too fast you can revive it by pouring the melted mess back into the blender with some more ice. Blend until it's looking fresh again and adjust to taste (add more cookies, milk, chocolate syrup, etc.)
