Description
Enjoy a creamy Cookies and Cream Drink made with vanilla ice cream and crushed chocolate sandwich cookies. This refreshing treat is easy to prepare and perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth, topped with whipped cream and optional chocolate syrup for an extra indulgence.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups of milk (whole or your preferred alternative)
- 1 cup of vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup of crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
- 1/4 cup of whipped cream (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup (optional, for drizzling)
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Ice cubes (optional, for a colder drink)
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the milk and vanilla ice cream. Use whole milk for a creamier texture or any milk alternative you prefer.
- Add the vanilla extract to the blender to enhance the flavor.
- Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds to a minute.
- Taste the mixture; if desired, add more ice cream or a splash of chocolate syrup for sweetness.
- Add the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies to the blender. Crush them in a ziplock bag or use a food processor.
- Pulse the mixture a few times to incorporate the cookies without completely breaking them down, leaving some chunks for texture.
- Check the consistency and add more crushed cookies if you want a stronger cookie flavor.
- For an extra cold drink, add ice cubes to the blender and blend until smooth.
- Alternatively, pour the mixture into a large glass or pitcher and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to chill without diluting.
- Pour the chilled drink into tall glasses, preferably clear to showcase the layers and cookie bits.
- Top each glass with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
- Drizzle chocolate syrup over the whipped cream for an extra touch.
- Sprinkle extra crushed cookies on top for garnish.
- Serve immediately with a straw or long spoon, preferably a wide straw to enjoy the cookie bits.
- Pair with extra cookies for dipping, making it a perfect treat for parties or cozy nights.
- For a twist, add a shot of espresso to create a Cookies and Cream Coffee Drink.
- If you have leftovers, transfer the drink into an airtight container and store it in the freezer.
Notes
- Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more ice cream or chocolate syrup.
