The Cookies & Cream Frappuccino is every dessert lover’s dream come true. Inspired by the iconic Starbucks version, this icy, creamy delight fuses the irresistible crunch of Oreo cookies with rich chocolate syrup and velvety milk. It’s a caffeine-free indulgence that doubles as a dessert, perfect for hot days, after-dinner treats, or when you simply need to satisfy that sweet tooth. And the best part? You can make it right at home in just a few minutes with a blender and some simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 1 cup milk (any type, but whole milk makes it extra creamy)
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 8 Oreo cookies
- 2 tbsp chocolate syrup
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Extra Oreos (for garnish, optional)
Preparation
Step 1: In a blender, add the ice cubes, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and Oreo cookies.
Step 2: Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. The Oreo pieces should be finely crushed and incorporated.
Step 3: Drizzle chocolate syrup into the inside walls of your serving glass to create a beautiful swirl.
Step 4: Pour the blended mixture into the glass.
Step 5: Top generously with whipped cream and extra crushed Oreos or a whole cookie on top.
Variation
- Mocha Version: Add 1 shot of espresso or 1 tsp instant coffee granules for a caffeine kick.
- Minty Twist: Add a drop or two of peppermint extract for a refreshing version.
- Healthier Option: Use unsweetened almond milk and reduce sugar or use a sugar substitute.
COOKING Note
Although there’s no cooking involved, using chilled milk and freezing your Oreos beforehand can help keep the drink thick and frosty longer.
Serving Suggestions
Serve in a tall chilled glass with a wide straw. Perfect for kids’ parties, summer hangouts, or as a movie night treat. Decorate with chocolate syrup, mini Oreos, or crushed cookie dust for that extra café look.
