What you will need
This recipe uses 4 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 10 whole Oreo cookies plus extra for garnish
- 3 cups vanilla ice cream
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 cup whipped cream
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Crush the Oreos
Place 8 of the Oreo cookies in a zip-lock bag and crush them with a rolling pin into a mix of fine crumbs and small chunky pieces. Keep 2 cookies whole for garnish.
Step 2: Blend the Shake
Add the vanilla ice cream and whole milk to the blender and blend for 20 seconds. Add the crushed Oreos and pulse 5 to 6 times so the cookie pieces remain slightly chunky for texture rather than fully pulverized.
Step 3: Garnish and Serve
Pour into tall glasses, top with whipped cream, and press a whole Oreo cookie into the whipped cream as garnish. Add a sprinkle of crushed Oreo crumbs on top and serve with a wide straw.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- vanilla ice cream → cookies and cream ice cream for an even more intense Oreo flavor
- whole milk → heavy cream for an extra thick and indulgent shake texture
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Blending the Oreos too long which eliminates the satisfying cookie chunks in the final shake
- Using too much milk which makes the shake too thin and dilutes the cookies and cream flavor
