Ingredients
Here’s everything you need to make this easy Oreo milkshake:
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| 🍪 Oreo cookies | 8–10 cookies |
| 🍨 Vanilla ice cream | 3 scoops (about 1½ cups / 200g) |
| 🥛 Whole milk | ½ cup (120 ml) |
That’s it. Three ingredients. Nothing more, nothing less.
All you need: Oreo cookies, vanilla ice cream, and milk
Ingredient Notes
🍪 Oreo cookies: Classic Oreos work best. Use the original flavor with the cream filling — don’t remove it! The filling adds sweetness and creaminess to the shake. You can also use Double Stuf Oreos for an even more intense cookie flavor.
🍨 Vanilla ice cream: Use a good-quality vanilla ice cream for the creamiest results. Full-fat ice cream will give you the thickest, richest texture. Let it soften on the counter for about 5 minutes before blending — this makes the process smoother and easier on your blender.
🥛 Whole milk: Whole milk gives the best consistency, but you can use 2% if that’s what you have on hand. The milk helps thin the shake just enough to make it drinkable while keeping it thick. Use less for a thicker shake and more for a thinner one.
📝 Note
Don’t be tempted to add sugar — the Oreo cookies and ice cream provide more than enough sweetness on their own!
How to Make an Oreo Milkshake
Follow these 3 easy steps to make the perfect Oreo milkshake at home:
Add Ingredients to the Blender
Place 8–10 Oreo cookies, 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream, and ½ cup of milk into a blender. Break the Oreos in half before adding them for easier blending.
Blend Until Smooth
Blend on medium-high speed for about 30–60 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You should still see small chunks of Oreo cookie throughout the shake — that’s exactly what you want! Those little cookie pieces add the perfect texture.
Pour and Serve
Pour the milkshake into a tall glass. If you want to go the extra mile, top it with whipped cream, a whole Oreo cookie, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup. Serve immediately and enjoy!
⚠️ Important
Don’t over-blend! Blending for too long will melt the ice cream and make your milkshake thin and runny. 30–60 seconds is the sweet spot.
Tips for the Perfect Oreo Milkshake
Use these pro tips to take your homemade Oreo milkshake to the next level:
Soften the Ice Cream
Don’t use rock-hard ice cream straight from the freezer. Let it sit on the counter for 5–10 minutes so it scoops and blends easily.
Adjust the Thickness
Want it thicker? Add more ice cream. Want it thinner? Add milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach your preferred consistency.
Don’t Over-Blend
Blend just until combined. Over-blending will melt the ice cream too much and make your milkshake thin and runny.
Use a Wide Straw
A thick Oreo milkshake deserves a thick straw. A regular straw might not cut it — use a boba straw or drink it with a spoon!
Chill Your Glass
Pop your serving glass in the freezer for 10–15 minutes before making the shake. This keeps the milkshake colder for longer.
Serve Immediately
Milkshakes are best enjoyed right away. The longer it sits, the more the ice cream melts and the texture changes.
Variations and Add-Ins
While this recipe is perfect as is, here are some fun ways to mix things up:
| Variation | What to Change | Flavor Profile |
|---|---|---|
| 🍫 Chocolate Oreo | Swap vanilla for chocolate ice cream | Double chocolate |
| 🥜 Peanut Butter Oreo | Add 1–2 tbsp peanut butter | Nutty & creamy |
| 🌿 Mint Oreo | Use mint chip ice cream | Cool & refreshing |
| 🍌 Banana Oreo | Add half a frozen banana | Fruity & creamy |
| 🍫 Nutella Oreo | Add 1 tbsp Nutella | Hazelnut chocolate |
| ☕ Coffee Oreo | Add a shot of cooled espresso | Mocha |
| 🥤 Malt Oreo | Add 1 tbsp malted milk powder | Classic malt shop |

Absolutely! While Oreos are the star here, you can use any sandwich cookie or chocolate cookie you like. Chocolate chip cookies, Nutter Butters, or even Golden Oreos work beautifully.
Yes! Crush the Oreos in a zip-lock bag using a rolling pin, then stir them into softened ice cream and milk. It won’t be as smooth, but it will still taste amazing.
Yes! Use dairy-free vanilla ice cream and a plant-based milk like oat milk or almond milk. Regular Oreos are actually dairy-free (they contain no milk ingredients), making this an easy swap.
This recipe makes 1 large milkshake or 2 smaller servings. Simply double the recipe if you’re making it for more people.
Add more ice cream, reduce the milk, or add a handful of ice cubes before blending. You can also freeze your glass beforehand to keep the shake thicker for longer.
Milkshakes are best enjoyed immediately. If you let it sit, the ice cream will melt and the texture won’t be the same. If you must, pour it into a freezer-safe container and freeze it, then let it thaw for a few minutes before drinking.
Use 8–10 Oreo cookies for one large milkshake. If you prefer a stronger Oreo flavor, go with 10–12 cookies. For a lighter flavor, use 6–8.

I added a tablespoon of peanut butter and it was AMAZING. Best milkshake I’ve ever had at home. The tip about softening the ice cream first really helped.
