Introduction (What is Cookies and Cream Milkshake all about)
Cookies and Cream Milkshake is a very good creamy dessert made by mixing vanilla ice cream in milk and crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreo) together.
This is the most popular flavor of milkshake which is found on dessert store, restaurant and drive-thru menus across the country.
Unlike the usual chocolate in vanilla milkshakes, this cookie has an extra crunch and more flavor which gives it a great texture and delicious indulgence. Let’s get to know the ingredients and how to make it.
Ingredients (serves 2 to 3 people)
- Use premium vanilla ice cream for a good texture 2 cups.
- Milk 1 cup full, adjusted for thickness
- Chocolate sandwich cookies or Oreo cookies 7–8 Oreos
- (optional) Vanilla extract 1/2 cup to enhance the flavor
Optional but recommended toppings:
- Crushed cookies
- Whipped cream
- Sprinklers or mini chocolate chips
- Fudge drizzle or chocolate syrup
- Maraschino cherries for a classic dinner wife
Step by step instructions for preparation:
1. Gather the ingredients:
First of all, place everything on your counter top and get ready to start blending. First, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 3 to 4 minutes to soften it a bit, which makes blending easier and smooth.
Important information: If you want the cookies to be crispy and cold and to make it taste better, use the refrigerator and keep it in it for 10 minutes before blending.
This will make the cookies taste good and delicious, and the crispiness will enhance the taste even more.
2. To break the cookies:
Take 7 to 8 Oreo cookies, break them into small pieces with your hands or put them in a ziplock bag and crush them lightly using a rolling pin. Remember not to grind them into a powder. The pieces make the texture better.
When it is ready for presentation, keep aside two or three tablespoons for garnishing.
3. Use/Add Ice Cream in Blender
Add 2 cups (about 4 scoops) of vanilla ice cream to a high-powered blender.
Why use vanilla and not any other?
Vanilla is a neutral base and blends well without overcooking the cookies. If you want more tartness, use cookie or chocolate and cream flavored ice cream to enhance the flavor a bit.
If you are using this for the first time, don’t do it as you might make a mistake that will ruin your cookies.
4. Use Milk:
Pour one cup of whole milk into the blender.
If you want a thick milkshake like Chicken-fil-A or Five Guys, start with 3/4 cup of milk. Add more milk if needed.
For those who like a lighter milkshake, use 2% milk or almond milk.
5. Using Crushed Cookies:
Now add the crushed cookies and blend in two stages:
Do not crush the cookies completely. Pulse 4 to 5 times to incorporate everything.
Now blend slowly for 25 to 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth but with small cookie pieces.
For a smoother milkshake, use half the cookies after the initial blending and then pulse 1 to 2 times.
6. Taste and adjust:
If it’s too thick, give it a quick taste and then add a little more milk. If it’s not sweet enough, add a tablespoon or two of sugar or a squirt of chocolate syrup.
Optional flavorings:
If you want to amp up the flavor, add a few drops of malt powder or vanilla extract to a classic soda scoop to make it taste more like it’s from the fountain.
7. How to serve:
Take two tall glasses (milkshake glasses or mason jars work best for this), pour the milkshake into them, then tap them lightly to remove any air pockets.
8. How to use/add toppings:
Now comes the cool part – garnish!
Scoop the whipped cream or drizzle it on top with a tablespoon.
Use crushed cookies to sprinkle on top of the whipped cream for a crunch.
Use Chocolate Drizzle Use Hershey’s syrup for an extra chocolatey and visual treat flavor.
Cherry on Top For the perfect finishing, top the whipped cream with a cherry.

Freezer: Refrigerate it for up to a day in an airtight container and when you want to drink it, thaw it for 15 minutes before shaking or blending it.
