OREO Milkshake Recipes

If there is one treat that never goes out of style, it is a thick, frosty OREO milkshake. This oreo milkshake recipe collection brings together 13 of the best cookies-and-cream shakes you can make at home — from the classic three-ingredient original to loaded freakshakes, cheesecake blends, and even a vegan version. Every shake here is blended in minutes with simple ingredients you probably already have in the kitchen.

The secret to a café-style shake is the ratio: plenty of good vanilla ice cream, just enough milk to let it blend, and a generous handful of OREO cookies. Crush some cookies fine for that smooth cookies-and-cream flavour all the way through, and save a few chunky pieces for the top. Whether you want a quick dessert for the kids, a party drink, or an over-the-top celebration shake, you will find your new favourite below.

Grab your blender, a bag of OREOs, and a tub of ice cream — let’s get blending.

Tips for the Thickest, Creamiest Shakes

• Keep everything cold. Chill your glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving, and use ice cream straight from the coldest part of the freezer. A warm glass melts a shake faster than anything else.
• Go easy on the milk. Start with less milk than you think you need — you can always blend in an extra splash, but you cannot take it back out. A thick shake should hold soft peaks when you lift the blender lid.
• Blend the base first, cookies last. For a smooth shake, blend the ice cream and milk before adding the cookies, then pulse the cookies in at the end. For a chunkier cookies-and-cream texture, reserve two cookies, crush them by hand, and stir them through after blending.
• Serve immediately. Milkshakes wait for no one — they start separating within minutes, so pour, garnish, and get them to the table fast.

Whichever shake you blend first, the rules stay the same: keep everything cold, do not over-blend, and always save a cookie for the top. If you make one of these, try the Classic first — then work your way up to the Freakshake when you are feeling brave.
