Of course! The Oreo milk drink is a classic, simple, and delicious treat. It’s essentially a deconstructed or blended version of eating Oreos with a glass of milk.
Here’s a guide to making it, from the simplest method to a more indulgent milkshake.
- The Simple Stirred Oreo Milk (The Quick Fix)
This is the fastest way. It’s like a cookies-and-milk soup.
Ingredients:
· 1 cup of cold milk (any kind you like: whole, 2%, almond, oat)
· 3-4 Oreo cookies
Instructions:
- Place the Oreo cookies in a glass.
- Pour the cold milk over them.
- Let it sit for about 1-2 minutes to allow the cookies to soften slightly.
- Use a spoon to vigorously stir and break up the cookies. The milk will turn a beautiful chocolatey brown, and you’ll get lovely chunks of soft cookie.
- Enjoy immediately with a spoon!
- The Blended Oreo Milkshake (The Classic)
This is the most popular and creamy version—a true milkshake.
Ingredients:
· 1.5 cups of vanilla ice cream
· 1/2 cup of milk (adjust for thickness)
· 6-8 Oreo cookies
· Whipped cream for topping (optional)
Instructions:
- Add the ice cream, milk, and Oreo cookies to a blender.
- Blend on high until smooth. If it’s too thick, add a little more milk. If it’s too thin, add another scoop of ice cream.
- Pour into a tall glass.
- Top with whipped cream and crumble an extra Oreo cookie on top for a fancy finish.
- The Blended Oreo Frappé (The Iced Coffee Version)
Perfect for coffee lovers! This is like a copycat of the popular coffee chain drink.
Ingredients:
· 1 cup of strong brewed coffee, cooled (or 1-2 shots of espresso)
· 1 cup of ice
· 1/2 cup of milk
· 4-5 Oreo cookies
· 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup (optional, for extra chocolate flavor)
· Sweetener to taste (optional)
Instructions:
- Combine all ingredients in a blender.
- Blend until smooth and icy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy with a straw.
Tips & Variations:
· Get Creative with Oreo Flavors: Use Mint Oreos, Peanut Butter Oreos, or Golden Oreos for a different twist!
· Add Extras: A splash of vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, or a tablespoon of malted milk powder can elevate the flavor.
· Super Thick Shake: For a spoon-standing-up-thick shake, use more ice cream and less milk. Let it blend for a bit longer to incorporate more air.
· Dairy-Free/Vegan: Use your favorite plant-based milk (oat milk is great for creaminess) and vegan ice cream. Most standard Oreos are actually vegan-friendly (always check the label).
Why is it so good?
The combination of the crunchy-chocolatey cookie, the sweet cream filling, and the cool, neutral milk is a perfect balance of textures and flavors. It’s a universally loved treat for a reason!
