Make an Oreo Milkshake

Oreos are classic cookies that make a classic milkshake. While you can make an Oreo milkshake with vanilla ice cream, you can also try it without the ice cream, using frozen bananas in its place. Whichever way you choose, you can switch up the ice cream, flavors, and milk to create an Oreo milkshake that's truly yours.

Ingredients

For Oreo Milkshake with Ice Cream:

  • 4 teaspoons chocolate syrup
  • 8 Oreo cookies, divided
  • 1 cup milk (250 milliliters)
  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream, softened

For Oreo Milkshake Using Frozen Bananas

  • 2 bananas
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup whipped cream or topping, plus extra for the garnish
  • 4 Oreo cookies

Steps

Making an Oreo Milkshake with Ice Cream

  1. Prepare the glasses. Chill glasses in the freezer for about 15 minutes, or until slightly frosty. This will keep your milkshake from melting too quickly.
    • You can make one giant milkshake, or divide it among several smaller glasses.
  2. Drizzle syrup into the glass(es). Add the chocolate syrup to your glass or glasses and swirl it so that the syrup completely coats the bottom.
  3. Chop up Oreos. Using a knife or food processor, chop up 4 of the Oreos until they're pretty fine. Set these aside; they'll be the topping for your milkshake.
  4. Add vanilla ice cream to the blender. This will make the milkshake thick and creamy.
  5. Add the remaining Oreos to the blender.
  6. Add the milk to the blender. While you may need to add more, start with just 1 cup. You can always add more later to thin out the milkshake.
  7. Blend the milkshake. Blitz the ingredients until the Oreos are ground up and thoroughly mixed with the milk and ice cream. The milkshake will be smoother and the cookies less noticeable the longer you blend them. Don't blend it for long if you want to keep some Oreo chunks in your milkshake.
  8. Pour the milkshake into your prepared glass(es). The milkshake will cover the chocolate syrup you already poured in the glass(es).
  9. Top your milkshake with the chopped Oreos. Spread the chopped Oreos evenly across the top of your milkshake and serve.[1]

Making an Oreo Milkshake Using Frozen Bananas

  1. Prepare the glasses. Chill glasses in the freezer for about 15 minutes, or until slightly frosty. This will keep your milkshake from melting too quickly.
    • You can make one giant milkshake, or divide it among several smaller glasses.
  2. Prepare the bananas. Peel 2 bananas and cut them into 1 inch chunks. Place the chunks on a rimmed baking sheet and freeze, until hard. This will probably take about an hour.
    • You could also freeze the bananas whole. They'll just take longer to freeze, at least several hours.[2]
  3. Add frozen bananas and milk to the blender and blitz. Blend the frozen bananas with the milk until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth. This will take several minutes, especially if using whole frozen bananas.
  4. Add whipped cream or whipped topping and the Oreos. Blend this mixture until the Oreos are chopped to your desired texture.
    • The longer you blend, the smoother and finer the Oreo milkshake will become. If you want larger chunks of cookies, simply pulse the Oreos and whipped cream a few times.
  5. Pour into glasses and top with extra whipped cream. Serve immediately.

Using Variations

  1. Swap frozen yogurt for the ice cream. If you're watching calories, or just want a milkshake that's a little lighter, consider using frozen yogurt. There are a lot of flavor options available and you can even find frozen Greek yogurt.
  2. Use a different flavor ice cream. While vanilla ice cream and Oreo cookies are a classic combination, try using chocolate, strawberry, or even peanut butter ice cream. You'll be surprised how well Oreo cookies taste with a new flavor!
  3. Try a different flavor of Oreo cookie. While there used to be a single kind of Oreo cookie, there are now a variety of Oreo cookie products. From golden to mint to peanut butter, you can easily find a new flavor to mix up.
  4. Change the milk. Milkshakes can be made with any type of milk. Use skim for a lower-fat milkshake or whole for a creamier one. You can even use non-dairy nut milks or swap out plain milk for a flavored one. Chocolate milk will add an even stronger flavor to your Oreo milkshake.



Tips

  • For a more classic shake look, serve in a tall sundae glass with a straw and whipped cream on top.
  • Add a sprinkle of cocoa powder on top!
