A creamy Oreo milkshake is one of my favorite quick desserts to make when I’m in the mood for something rich, sweet, and refreshing. With just a handful of ingredients, I can blend up this frosty treat in minutes and enjoy that classic cookies-and-cream flavor in a glass.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this Oreo milkshake because it’s simple, fast, and full of chocolatey goodness. When I want something sweet but don’t feel like baking, this shake is the perfect solution. The chocolate chips add an extra indulgent boost, and I can always garnish it with whipped cream and extra Oreos to make it look (and taste) like a diner-style dessert.

Directions

1. I add vanilla ice cream, milk, Oreo cookies, and chocolate chips to my blender.

2. I blend until smooth and creamy, making sure the cookies are crushed and incorporated.

3. I pour the mixture into glasses and serve right away.

4. To make it extra fun, I garnish with whipped cream, crumbled Oreos, and a sprinkle of chocolate chips.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 2 servings. It takes just 5 minutes to prepare, which makes it perfect when I want a quick dessert or a special after-dinner treat.

Variations

I sometimes change things up by using different Oreo flavors like mint, golden, or peanut butter. I also love using cookies and cream ice cream for an even stronger Oreo flavor. When I’m in the mood for extra richness, I add chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla. For a vegan version, I use non-dairy ice cream, almond or oat milk, and vegan chocolate chips.

storage/reheating

I always enjoy this milkshake right away while it’s cold and frosty. If I make extra, I store it in the freezer in a sealed container. Before drinking, I let it soften for a few minutes and then re-blend it to bring back the smooth texture.
