How to Make Oreo Milkshake (Overview)
Making an Oreo Milkshake is as simple as crushing cookies, blending, and enjoying. Start by crushing those Oreos like you mean it; the chunkier the better! Toss everything into the blender and let it whip into a creamy wonder. Pro tip: If you want extra chunks of Oreo in your shake, save a few to fold in after blending. Yum!
How to Serve Oreo Milkshake
Serve your Oreo Milkshake in tall glasses for that extra wow factor! The dark swirls of chocolate syrup against the creamy vanilla look fabulous, don’t you think? Add some extra crushed Oreos on top for crunch and garnish with a sprig of mint for a pop of color. The aroma of vanilla and cookies blending together will have your mouth watering before you even take a sip!
How to Store Oreo Milkshake
While it’s super tempting to drink this milkshake all at once, you can store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just know that it may thicken up a bit. If you want to keep it longer, pour it into an airtight container and pop it in the freezer. You may need to let it sit out for a few minutes before it’s drinkable again, but that’s a small price to pay for bliss!
