"This is the best milkshake I have ever had, it is better than the milkshake at Denny's!!!"

💛 Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Simple ingredients. If you have milk, ice, and Oreos on hand then you may already have the other ingredients needed to make this milkshake too! Perfect for avoiding a costly trip to the grocery store.
- Fast prep. This recipe only takes a moment to throw together and blend, perfect for a faster solution to your cravings.
- Perfect for sharing. This recipe makes one milkshake but it can easily be doubled or tripled as needed. Everyone will love getting their own glass of Oreo shakes.
🛒 Ingredients
Heavy cream- Add in heavy cream to replace the richness and creamy consistency you're used to getting from ice cream.
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 make the shake thick and cold.
Oreo cookies- Use any flavor of oreo cookie to make this drink delicious!
See the recipe card below for full ingredients and instructions.
🔀 Substitutions & Variations
Heavy cream. Swap with whole milk or coconut milk if needed. The shake won't be as rich but will still taste great.
Milk options. Any milk works, including nondairy, low-fat, or even half-and-half.
Oreo variations. Use any Oreo flavor you like (mint is perfect for St. Patrick's Day, similar to our Homemade Shamrock Shake). Off-brand sandwich cookies work just as well.
Other cookie ideas. Swap the Oreos for Chips Ahoy for a Chips Ahoy Milkshake, or mix both for a Cookie Monster Milkshake.
Topping Ideas. Dip the milkshake glass in chocolate syrup and cookie crumbs, freeze 5 minutes, then fill. Top with whipped cream, a maraschino cherry, and an Oreo (cut a tiny slit to secure on the rim).
💰 Budget-Friendly Tips
Use store brands. Off-brand cookies, milk, and cream taste identical in blended drinks and cut costs instantly.
Buy bulk or family-size Oreos. They're cheaper per ounce and freeze well for smoothies and milkshakes.
Adjust portions. Add a bit more ice to stretch the recipe without sacrificing thickness.
Skip specialty add-ins. The base ingredients already taste amazing, extra syrups or toppings are optional.
🥄 How to Make Oreo Milkshake Without Ice Cream
Step 1: Add all of the ingredients to your blender and add the lid.
Step 2: Press the buttons to blend everything together at high speed.
Step 3: Process until almost smooth (meaning no chunks larger than a straw opening). This will take about 1-2 minutes.
Step 4: Pour into your drinking glass and enjoy.
👩🏻🍳 Expert 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.
🥗 Side Dishes or Pairing Ideas
Pair this Oreo Milkshake Without Ice Cream with simple snacks like popcorn, pretzels, or graham crackers for a sweet-and-salty mix. It also works well with easy summer lunches like grilled cheese or air fryer snacks. For dessert spreads, serve alongside cookies, cinnamon pastries, or fresh berries.

❓ Recipe 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.)
