Why You’ll Love Ultimate OREO MILKSHAKES Recipe – Creamy, Easy & Ready in 5 Minutes!

I love this recipe because it’s incredibly simple and endlessly comforting. It requires just a few ingredients, no cooking skills, and almost no cleanup. I also enjoy how customizable it is, whether I want it extra thick, extra chocolatey, or topped with whipped cream for a little indulgence.

Ingredients

(Note: All ingredient amounts are listed in the recipe card below.)

2 Cups Vanilla Ice Cream
0.67 Cup Milk
8 Oreo Cookies
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Optional)
Whipped Cream for serving (Optional)

Directions

I add the vanilla ice cream, milk, and Oreo cookies to my blender. I pulse and blend until the mixture is mostly smooth, leaving small cookie bits if I want extra texture.

I pour the milkshake into large glasses and finish with whipped cream if I’m in the mood for a classic touch. I serve it immediately while it’s cold and creamy.

Servings and Timing

This recipe makes about 2 generous milkshakes. The prep time is around 5 minutes, the blending time is about 5 minutes, and the total time comes to approximately 10 minutes.

Variations

I sometimes add extra Oreo cookies for a thicker shake or drizzle in chocolate syrup for more richness. When I want a cookies-and-cream deluxe version, I blend in a scoop of chocolate ice cream. I also enjoy adding a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.

Storage/Reheating

I find this milkshake is best enjoyed fresh. If needed, I store leftovers in the freezer for up to 1 hour and re-blend briefly before serving. I don’t recommend reheating, as it’s meant to be served cold.
