Classic Oreo Milkshake

Olivia Carter
If you’re only going to make one milkshake in your life — make it this one. It’s the no-fail, creamy, sweet-but-not-too-sweet Oreo milkshake we all grew up loving. Smooth, crunchy, and crazy satisfying. Plus, it’s the base you can jazz up into any fancy version later.

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Tall glasses

Ingredients
  

  • 8 regular Oreo cookies
  • 4 large scoops of good vanilla ice cream About 2 cups
  • ½ cup whole milk add more if you like a thinner shake
  • ½ cup whipped cream For topping
  • 1 Oreo cookie Crushed — because toppings make everything better

Instructions
 

  • Chill those glasses — Pop two tall ones in the freezer for 5–10 minutes. Trust me, it makes it feel more “milkshake bar” and less “kitchen counter.”
  • Blend the magic — Throw in your Oreos, ice cream, and milk. Blend it all on medium-high until it’s creamy and the cookies are fully crushed.
  • Adjust the vibe — Too thick? Add a splash more milk. Too thin? You probably need another scoop of ice cream.
  • Pour and admire — Get those chilled glasses out and pour in that beautiful blend.
  • Top and serve — Add a generous swirl of whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed Oreo. Grab a straw and a spoon — you’ll need both.

Notes

  • Go heavy on Oreos: Want it stronger? Toss in 10–12 cookies.
  • Thickness hack: Less milk = spoonable shake. More milk = sippable shake.
  • Blender tip: Let your ice cream soften for 5–10 minutes first. Your blender (and your ears) will thank you.
