Oreo Milkshake Recipe - The Spruce Eats

• Easy blending with just a few simple ingredients means anyone can make this treat.
• Using whole milk makes your Oreo milkshake super creamy and delicious.
• A colorful straw makes serving your Oreo milkshake fun and exciting.

Milkshakes are a classic American frosty treat. A creamy combination of ice cream and milk, they're served at diners and dairy shops, including fast-food favorites like Dairy Queen, Burger King, and Sonic. And while they're a delicious treat to order alongside your burger, you can easily make them at home and save a few dollars. All you need are a few simple ingredients and a blender.

Super-thick milkshakes are often typically made with a milkshake machine, the kind of contraption typically reserved for restaurants. If you happen to have one at home, you can reduce the amount of milk in this recipe and use it instead of a blender—just break up the Oreos and add them at the end of mixing. Otherwise, a good blender will do the trick and break up the cookies for you.

If your blender is hardworking, try adding half the milk to start, adding more as needed to make it blend. This will make a thicker shake. If you're in a pinch and need to use water to make this milkshake instead of milk, you can—it just won't be nearly as creamy as you might like.

With a bit of cookie crunch, rich chocolate sauce, and creamy texture, it's no wonder that people are so fond of this flavorful Oreo milkshake. Serve with a colorful straw.

Tips for Making Oreo Milkshake Recipe

• Choose your milk - You can use whatever milk you want for this recipe, from 1 percent to whole, but we find that the creaminess of whole milk makes it the best. It’s a milkshake, after all.
• Make it non-dairy - You can also make this recipe non-dairy and vegan since Oreos do not contain milk as an ingredient. Use a creamy vegan ice cream (made with coconut milk or another non-dairy milk) and dairy-free milk. You may want to reduce the amount of milk since non-dairy ice creams are sometimes less thick than traditional ice creams. Double-check your chocolate sauce ingredients for milk.
• No blender, no problem - If you don't have a blender or a milkshake maker, add the ice cream to a mixing bowl and let it soften a bit. Add the milk and use a potato masher or whisk to blend. Add the chocolate syrup and crushed cookies and mix. Serve.
