Oreo Milkshake Recipe – Easy Vanilla Ice Cream Blend

Hey everyone! If you’re anything like me, sometimes you just need a little something sweet and ridiculously easy to make. This Oreo Milkshake is exactly that – a creamy, dreamy, chocolatey treat that comes together in under 10 minutes. I first made this when my niece came over, and it’s been a family favourite ever since! It’s the perfect pick-me-up on a hot day, or honestly, any day. Let’s get blending!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This Oreo Milkshake isn’t just delicious; it’s unbelievably simple. Seriously, if you can operate a blender, you can make this. It requires minimal ingredients, no fancy techniques, and delivers maximum flavour. Plus, who doesn’t love Oreos? It’s a classic combination that always hits the spot.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this delightful milkshake:

• 5 Oreo biscuits (approximately 50g)
• ¾ cup (180ml) full cream milk
• 2-3 scoops (approximately 150-225g) vanilla ice cream
• ¼ cup (60ml) whipped cream (for topping)
• 1 Oreo biscuit (approximately 10g), crushed (for topping)

Ingredient Notes

Let’s talk ingredients for a sec, because a few little things can make a big difference!

• Full Cream Milk: Don’t skimp on the milk here! Full cream milk really gives this milkshake that lovely, rich texture. You can use other types, but it won’t be quite as creamy.
• Oreo Biscuits: Feel free to experiment with different Oreo flavours! Golden Oreos, Double Stuf, even Mint Oreos – they all work beautifully. It’s a fun way to customize.
• Vanilla Ice Cream: The quality of your vanilla ice cream will shine through. I recommend using a good quality ice cream for the best flavour. A French vanilla is particularly lovely!

Step-By-Step Instructions

Alright, let’s make some magic!

1. First, grab your blender. Add those 5 Oreo biscuits – don’t worry about being precise, we’re going for a fun, relaxed vibe here.
2. Pour in ¾ cup of chilled full cream milk. Chilled milk helps keep everything nice and frosty.
3. Now, add 2-3 scoops of vanilla ice cream. I usually go for 3 when I’m feeling extra indulgent!
4. Blend everything together until it’s smooth and frothy. You might need to stop and scrape down the sides a couple of times to make sure everything gets incorporated.
5. Pour the milkshake into a tall serving glass. It just feels better in a tall glass, doesn’t it?
6. Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream and sprinkle with crushed Oreo biscuits.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy! Seriously, don’t wait – this is best enjoyed chilled.

Expert Tips

Here are a few little tricks I’ve learned over the years:

• For an extra thick milkshake, freeze the Oreo biscuits for about 15-20 minutes before blending.
• If your milkshake is too thick, add a splash more milk.
• Don’t over-blend, or the milkshake can become too liquidy.

Variations

Want to switch things up? Here are a few ideas:

• Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet milkshake, use less ice cream or add a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder. My friend, Priya, always adds a pinch of cinnamon!
• Vegan: Use dairy-free vanilla ice cream and your favourite plant-based milk alternative (almond, soy, or oat milk all work well).
• Gluten-Free: Double-check the ingredients on your Oreo biscuits, as some varieties may contain gluten. There are gluten-free Oreo alternatives available now too!
• Festival Adaptations: This is a fantastic dessert for parties or celebrations! You can make a big batch and serve it in smaller glasses. It’s always a hit at Diwali gatherings.

Serving Suggestions

This Oreo Milkshake is perfect on its own, but here are a few ideas to take it to the next level:

• Serve with a side of chocolate chip cookies.
• Add a sprinkle of chocolate shavings on top.
• Pair it with a slice of your favourite cake.

Storage Instructions

Honestly, this milkshake is best enjoyed immediately. However, if you absolutely must store it, you can pour it into an airtight container and freeze it for up to an hour. But be warned, the texture will change, and you might need to re-blend it before serving.

FAQs

Let’s answer some common questions:

• Is it possible to make this milkshake thicker? Absolutely! Freeze the Oreo biscuits beforehand, or add a few more scoops of ice cream.
• Can I use a different flavour of ice cream? Definitely! Chocolate, strawberry, or even coffee ice cream would be delicious.
• Can I make this milkshake ahead of time? It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can prep the ingredients (crush the biscuits, measure out the milk) ahead of time.
• What’s the best way to crush the Oreo biscuits? I usually put them in a zip-lock bag and bash them with a rolling pin. Or, you can use a food processor.
• Can I add chocolate syrup or other toppings? Of course! Get creative and add whatever toppings you like. Chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, sprinkles – the possibilities are endless!
