FAQs
Can I use low-fat milk instead of whole milk?
Yes, you can use any type of milk you prefer. Whole milk makes the shake creamier, but skim milk or almond milk can be used for a lighter version.
Can I make this milkshake without vanilla extract?
Yes, you can skip the vanilla extract if you prefer, but it adds an extra depth of flavor that complements the Oreo cookies well.
Can I make this shake thicker?
If you like your milkshake thicker, simply add more ice cream or reduce the amount of milk. You can also add frozen yogurt for a denser texture.
Can I make this milkshake ahead of time?
Milkshakes are best enjoyed fresh, but if you need to make it in advance, store it in an airtight container in the freezer and let it thaw slightly before serving.
Can I use different cookies besides Oreos?
Yes! While Oreos are classic, you can experiment with other cookies like chocolate chip, peanut butter, or even sandwich cookies.
How do I make this a larger batch?
To make a larger batch, simply double or triple the ingredients and blend in batches if needed.
Can I make this milkshake without a blender?
If you don’t have a blender, you can crush the cookies by hand and stir everything together, but the texture won’t be as smooth. You might want to use a whisk or hand mixer to blend the milk and ice cream.
Is this milkshake gluten-free?
No, Oreos contain gluten, but you can substitute with gluten-free cookies if needed to make this recipe gluten-free.
Can I make this milkshake in a different flavor?
Yes! You can substitute the vanilla ice cream for chocolate, strawberry, or any flavor you prefer. Mix it up with different cookie varieties as well!
How do I prevent my milkshake from melting too quickly?
Serve the milkshake in chilled glasses and use thicker ice cream to help it maintain its consistency longer.
