Ingredient Notes

  • Oreos: I used regular Oreos, but double stuffed is also a great choice. And if you have leftover chunks of Oreo cookies, you can use them to make these soft cookies and cream cookies.
  • Vanilla Ice Cream: Try out my homemade vanilla ice cream recipe!
  • Milk: Any kind will work (1%, 2% or whole)
  • Vanilla Extract: Adding a little extra vanilla goes a long way! (Yes, even though we are using vanilla ice cream!)
  • Toppings: Serve this homemade Oreo milkshake recipe with homemade hot fudge, whipped cream, and extra crushed Oreos on top!

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Add ingredients (except for toppings) to a blender. Add 12 Oreos, 4 cups vanilla ice cream, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/4 tsp vanilla extract to a blender. Blend until smooth.

Recipe Tips

I don’t get too vigorous with my blending because I like there to be some Oreo chunks. If you don’t want chunks of cookie, then blend until smooth.

This is a thick Oreo milkshake recipe! You can eat it with a spoon, or sip through a thick straw. Add more milk or less milk to adjust the thickness of the shake. Just remember you need enough milk for the amount of ice cream so the mixture will blend.

Don’t worry about getting your ice cream measured perfectly into 4 cups. Just get enough scoops of ice cream to equal 4 cups worth of ice cream!

Variations:

  • Swap out the vanilla ice cream for chocolate ice cream if you want a double chocolate Oreo milkshake (still add the vanilla extract!)
  • Add a drizzle of caramel sauce on top for a caramel Oreo milkshake.
  • Use almond milk instead of cow’s milk for a healthier option. (Use almond milk if using bananas instead of ice cream to make this a dairy free milkshake)
  • Use different flavor Oreos!Mint ice cream and mint Oreos would be a fun combination.
  • Add a scoop of peanut butter for a delicious Oreo peanut butter milkshake

The great thing about this Oreo milkshake recipe is the splash of vanilla. I’ve told you once, I’ll tell you again, you really can’t go wrong with a splash of vanilla in any dessert! It really hits home the vanilla flavor and pairs so well with the Oreos.

My kids love a good milkshake! We switch off between Reese’s blizzards, a peach milkshake, and this easy Oreo milkshake. There’s a tie between the four of us for who likes which milkshake better, so give both a try and let me know in the comments!

Make Ahead, Storing, and Freezing

You won’t want to make these delicious Oreo milkshakes ahead of time or they will melt! Even if you make it ahead and store it in the freezer, you’ll have to re-blend it to get it back to milkshake consistency.

Store in a freezer-safe container or jar in the freezer for up to 3 months. Remove and let thaw enough to break into pieces and transfer back to the blender. Add some milk and blend to return to milkshake consistency.

Do not store in the fridge or the milkshake mixture will melt.

Recipe FAQs

Can you make an Oreo milkshake without ice cream?

Yes, you can. I would use frozen bananas instead of ice cream. Your flavor will be a little different because of the bananas, but that’s the best replacement if you want a vegan or dairy-free milkshake. If you use fresh bananas, you’ll want to add some ice cubes.

How to make a milkshake without a blender?

If you don’t have a blender, I would let the ice cream get a little soft so it’s easier to mix with and put the ingredients in a large bowl and mix until combined.Put the Oreos in a ziplock bag and use a rolling pin to crush them. Then combine with the softened ice cream, milk and vanilla.

How to make a thick milkshake?

To get a thicker consistency, use less milk. However, you’ll still need a little bit of the milk to get the mixture to blend in the blender without overheating your blender.
