Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. Blend the base: In a blender, combine the ice cubes, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, Oreo cookies, and chocolate syrup. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. If the frappuccino is too thick, add a splash of milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
2. Serve: Pour the frappuccino into a tall glass.
3. Top with whipped cream: Generously top with whipped cream, and drizzle with a little extra chocolate syrup for added sweetness.
4. Garnish and enjoy: Garnish with extra Oreo cookies by placing them on top or crumbling them and sprinkling over the whipped cream. Serve with a straw and enjoy!

Variations

• Dairy-free version: Use non-dairy milk such as almond, oat, or coconut milk for a dairy-free frappuccino.

Storage/Reheating

• Storage: This frappuccino is best enjoyed immediately while it’s cold and frosty. The ice will melt quickly, so it’s not ideal for storing.
• Reheating: This drink is meant to be served cold, so it doesn’t require reheating. Simply enjoy it fresh from the blender!

FAQs

1. Can I use other cookies instead of Oreos?

Yes! You can use other chocolate cookies, such as chocolate chip cookies or any cookie you prefer, to customize the flavor.

2. Can I make this frappuccino without a blender?

The blender is key to getting that frosty, creamy texture, but if you don’t have one, you can try blending the ingredients in a food processor or mixing them by hand and adding crushed ice instead of ice cubes.

3. Can I make this drink ahead of time?

While it’s best enjoyed fresh, you can make the base ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Just blend it again with ice when you’re ready to serve.

4. Can I make this frappuccino less sweet?

Yes, you can adjust the sweetness by reducing or omitting the sugar or using a sugar substitute like stevia or monk fruit sweetener.

5. Can I add more flavors?

Absolutely! Feel free to add extra flavors like caramel syrup, coffee, or even a splash of milkshake flavoring for a fun twist.

6. How can I make this a vegan frappuccino?

To make this frappuccino vegan, use non-dairy milk (like almond or coconut milk) and opt for dairy-free whipped cream and cookies.

7. How do I keep the frappuccino frosty?

Make sure to use enough ice and blend it thoroughly to get a frosty, slushy consistency. If it starts melting, you can blend it again to restore its thick texture.

8. Can I use low-fat milk?

Yes, you can use low-fat or skim milk if you prefer a lighter version, but full-fat milk will give it a creamier texture.

9. Can I add coffee to this frappuccino?

If you love a coffee flavor, add a shot of espresso or some instant coffee granules to the mix for a delicious mocha-style frappuccino.

10. How long will this frappuccino stay cold?

This frappuccino is best consumed right after it’s made while it’s still cold and frosty. If left for too long, the ice will melt, and it may lose its frothy texture.

Conclusion

This Cookies & Cream Frappuccino is the perfect treat to cool off on a warm day or indulge in when you’re craving something sweet.
