Equipment Needed
Before you dive into blending, make sure you have the right tools. Having the right equipment ensures your milkshake turns out smooth, creamy, and picture-perfect.
- Blender: The heart of this recipe! A high-speed blender works best to crush the Oreos and blend everything smoothly. A personal or countertop blender will both work.
- Measuring cups and spoons: For getting your ingredient amounts just right.
- Spoon or spatula: Useful for scraping down the sides of the blender.
- Tall glasses: Milkshakes look best served in tall glasses with a wide straw.
- Ice cream scoop: Makes it easy to serve the ice cream.
Ingredients
Here’s everything you’ll need to make this yummy Oreo milkshake:
- 6 Oreo cookies (classic or double-stuffed)
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream (around 4 scoops)
- 1 cup cold whole milk (or any milk of your choice)
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)
- Chocolate syrup (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
Let’s get blending! Here’s how to make this Oreo milkshake in just a few easy steps:
- Prep the blender: Add your vanilla ice cream, milk, Oreos, and vanilla extract to the blender jar.
- Blend: Blend on high speed for about 30 seconds until everything is well mixed and creamy.
- Check consistency: If the shake is too thick, add a splash more milk. If it’s too thin, toss in another scoop of ice cream or Oreo.
- Serve: Pour into glasses. Top with whipped cream and drizzle chocolate syrup if you’d like.
- Enjoy immediately! Serve with a straw and a spoon—you’ll need both.
Essential Note:
For best results, use very cold milk and slightly softened ice cream. This helps everything blend evenly and prevents the shake from becoming watery. Don’t over-blend; this can make the shake too thin and warm. If you want extra crunch, pulse the Oreos instead of fully blending them!
