How to Make an Oreo Milkshake (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Crush the Cookies
Place the Oreos in a sealed bag and gently crush them with a rolling pin. You want chunks, not dust, for texture.
Step 2: Blend the Base
Add milk to the blender first, then the ice cream and crushed cookies. This order helps the blender work smoothly.
Step 3: Adjust Thickness and Flavor
Blend until creamy. If the shake feels too thick, add more milk a little at a time. For extra sweetness, blend in one more Oreo or a drizzle of syrup.
Step 4: Serve with Toppings
Pour into chilled glasses. Then add whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and maybe one more cookie on top. Serve right away before it melts.
Expert Tips for the Creamiest Milkshake
Start with less milk and add more as you blend. This helps you control the texture. Also, chill your glasses before pouring so the milkshake stays cold longer.
Variations and Flavor Twists
Different Ice Cream Flavors
Use chocolate or cookies-and-cream ice cream for a richer version. Strawberry adds a fun fruity twist.
Peanut Butter or Nutty Versions
