    Oreo milkshakes, also known as cookies and cream milkshakes, are a classic sweet treat with a creamy texture and chocolatey flavor. Kids and adults both love them and there’s no reason to leave the comfort of you own home when you can make your own homemade version.

    This Oreo milkshake recipe only takes minutes to make and is a great way to indulge for any occasion.

    Ingredients Needed

    You only need 5 simple ingredients to make oreo milkshakes at home and any type of blender will work. The chocolate syrup is optional, and you can choose which ice cream and milk to use aas well.

    Oreo milkshake ingredients in various bowls.
    • Ice Cream – the ice cream you choose for your Oreo shakes is entirely up to you. I prefer plainer flavored ice cream, which is why I used vanilla, but you could also use chocolate ice cream.
    • Chocolate Sauce – drizzling the chocolate sauce on the inside of the glass makes for a pretty presentation, but also adds so much flavor when blended into the shake. Adding the chocolate sauce is optional though. If you want more Oreo flavor leave the chocolate sauce out of the mixture.
    • Oreos – for this recipe, I used plain regular-sized Oreos, but you can use any flavor or even double-stuff Oreos. You can also swap traditional Oreos for vanilla Oreos for a full vanilla shake.

    How to Make an Oreo Milkshake

    Oreo milkshake process steps 1 and 2.
    1. Set up the glasses. Drizzle each cup with chocolate syrup and set aside.
    2. Blend. Place the vanilla ice cream, milk, chocolate sauce, and Oreos into a blender and blend until smooth.
    Oreo milkshake process step 3.
    1. Arrange the milkshake. Pour the milkshake into the prepared glass and top with whipped cream and any other additional toppings such as crushed nuts or a cherry.

    Oreo Shake Topping Ideas

    I myself am simple when it comes to toppings, sundaes, and even ice cream so I prefer to keep to just whipped cream, but the options are endless. You can go as indulgent as you’d like for your Oreo shakes.

    • Chopped Nuts
    • Cherries
    • Whipped Cream: or Cool Whip
    • Chocolate Sauce
    • Crushed Oreos
    • Chocolate Shavings

    Milkshake Variations

    • Vegan Oreo Milkshake: Want to know how to make an oreo milkshake without ice cream? Use frozen bananas. You can also prepare a vegan milkshake by swapping the milk for a dairy-free alternative and using dairy-free ice cream.
    • Healthy Oreo Milkshake: instead of using ice cream you can use frozen bananas and similar to the vegan option use dairy-free milk or even coconut milk. There are also healthier Oreo brand options to use or choose the gluten-free Oreos.
    • Mint Chocolate Oreo Milkshake: swap the vanilla ice cream for chocolate and add ½ teaspoon of peppermint extract. Top off with whipped cream and some mint leaves as a garnish.
    • Golden Oreo Milkshake: instead of using the traditional Oreos try using the golden Oreos for a truly vanilla flavor.

    Why This Recipe Works

    • Only 5 ingredients. This easy oreo milkshake has only 5 simple ingredients. You can change them up to your taste preferences such as using chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla too.
    • Thick and creamy. Thick milkshakes are my preferences and this milkshake is extra thick with tons of chocolate and Oreo cookies crumbled into its creamy texture.
    • Easy to make. This recipe is so easy to prepare at home and can be made simple or with tons of toppings for a truly decadent treat.

    Recipe Notes and Expert Tips

    • For a richer flavor try adding 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract to the Oreo milkshake recipe mixture before blending it.
    • To easily defrost a frozen milkshake set the cup or container in hot water or run hot water around the outside of the cup or container until the contents can be freed from the edge. Pour it along with the liquid into a blender and re-blend it. You may need to add some additional milk.
    • For a thicker milkshake add half the milk at first and if more is needed slowly add the rest.
    • To make a chunkier milkshake with more cookie pieces omit the Oreos when you first blend the ingredients then add them and pulse the blender a couple of times. You can also blend everything except the Oreos and slightly crush them in a plastic bag before stirring them into the milkshake.

    FAQs

    Can you freeze a milkshake?

    Absolutely! Place it in an air-tight container and store it on a shelf in your freezer, not the door. It will last for about a month before ice crystals start to form and decrease the quality of the flavor.

    Can you make a milkshake without ice cream?

    Sure. In order to do this, I recommend using frozen bananas instead of ice cream. If you’re trying to make a dairy-free alternative you can also use dairy-free ice cream.

    How unhealthy are Oreos

    Unfortunately, Oreos are high in fat, sugar, and calories, which can lead to many healthy problems if consumed in excess regularly.
