Variations
When I want to change it up, I try swapping the vanilla ice cream for chocolate or cookies and cream flavor. For a minty twist, I add a drop of peppermint extract or use mint Oreos. Sometimes I throw in a scoop of peanut butter for richness, or a banana for a creamy, fruity variation. I’ve even added a shot of espresso for a mocha Oreo shake that’s amazing as an afternoon pick-me-up.
Storage/reheating
This milkshake is best enjoyed immediately after blending. If I have leftovers, I store them in the freezer in a sealed container for up to one day. Before drinking, I let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes and then give it a quick stir or re-blend to bring back that creamy texture. Reheating isn’t necessary, as this is meant to be served cold.
FAQs
How can I make this milkshake without a blender?
If I don’t have a blender, I crush the Oreos finely in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin and mix them into softened ice cream and milk using a whisk or spoon.
Can I make this milkshake dairy-free?
Yes, I use dairy-free ice cream and plant-based milk like almond or oat milk for a delicious vegan version.
How do I make the milkshake thicker?
To make it thicker, I reduce the milk or add more ice cream. Sometimes I also chill the glass before pouring to help keep it thick and frosty.
Can I use different types of Oreos?
Absolutely. I’ve used Double Stuf, Mint, Golden, and even seasonal flavors—all work great and bring a fun twist to the shake.
Is it okay to prepare this in advance?
I prefer making it fresh, but I can prep the ingredients ahead and blend just before serving. If I make it in advance, I freeze it and re-blend briefly before drinking.
Conclusion
This Oreo Milkshake is one of my favorite quick treats—sweet, creamy, and full of that classic cookie-and-cream flavor. It’s easy to make, endlessly customizable, and always satisfying. Whether I’m sharing with friends or enjoying it solo, it never fails to deliver comfort and joy in every sip.
