Craving something sweet and creamy? This Oreo Milkshake Recipe blends Oreos, vanilla ice cream, and milk into pure bliss! Perfect for dessert lovers.
Okay, here’s a little confession—I’ve been obsessed with Oreos since I was a kid. I mean, who wasn’t? But my obsession wasn’t just about dunking them in milk until they got all mushy. Oh no. I took it to a whole new level the day my grandma made me my first Oreo milkshake. I must’ve been, like, eight years old. It was a hot summer day, the kind where the asphalt starts melting under your flip-flops. You know the type.
So, there I was, practically glued to the box fan in her kitchen, whining about the heat. And then, out of nowhere, she pulls out the blender, a carton of vanilla ice cream, milk, and—drumroll—Oreos. I watched her throw everything into the blender like some sort of dessert wizard, and when she poured that creamy, Oreo-studded goodness into a glass, I swear, it was magic. Absolute magic.
Now, anytime I make this Oreo Milkshake Recipe, it’s like I’m back in that kitchen, sticky with summer sweat but blissfully happy. I’ve tried all sorts of versions over the years—adding peanut butter, throwing in a banana once (which was weirdly good), even going full-on chocolate overload with chocolate ice cream. But the classic blend of vanilla ice cream and Oreos? That’s the real deal.
Why You’ll Love This Oreo Milkshake Recipe?
-
Insanely Simple: It’s literally three ingredients. Three. You’re basically done before you’ve even started.
-
Thick and Creamy: It’s got that perfect balance—rich, but not so thick you’re going to pull a muscle trying to suck it through a straw.
-
Nostalgic Vibes: Every time I make this, it feels like I’m ten years old again. And who doesn’t want a little taste of childhood now and then?
-
Endlessly Customizable: Add peanut butter, chocolate syrup, or even crushed pretzels for that salty-sweet combo. Go nuts!

Ingredient Notes:
Here’s the breakdown of what makes this Oreo Milkshake Recipe so irresistible.
-
Oreos: I usually go classic, but I’ve tried it with Double Stuf, Mint Oreos, and even Golden Oreos. They’re all amazing. Heck, you could even mix and match if you’re feeling wild.
-
Vanilla Ice Cream: Full-fat, because why would you do anything less? Although, if you’re trying to be good (which I rarely am), you could swap it for frozen yogurt.
-
Milk: I use whole milk because it’s creamy and rich. But I’ve made this with almond milk and oat milk before and it’s still really, really good.

Ready to make some dessert magic? Let’s do this.
-
Gather Your Ingredients: Make sure you’ve got your Oreos, vanilla ice cream, and milk ready to go. Nothing worse than starting and realizing you’re missing something. (Been there, done that.)
-
Blend It All Together: Toss six Oreos, three scoops of vanilla ice cream, and ¾ cup of milk into a blender. Then, just hit that button and blend until it’s all smooth and dreamy. I’m talking Oreo chunks swirled into creamy vanilla bliss. Perfection.
-
Pour and Enjoy: Pour the milkshake into two glasses—or one giant one if you’re not in the mood to share. Top with whipped cream or more crumbled Oreos if you’re feeling fancy.
-
Optional Extra Touch: Want to be fancy? Drizzle chocolate syrup around the inside of your glass before pouring in the milkshake. Because why not?

Storage Options:
Honestly, this Oreo Milkshake Recipe is meant to be devoured right away. It’s like peak deliciousness the second it leaves the blender. But, if you do end up with leftovers (which, seriously, how?), you can refrigerate it for a couple of hours. Just give it a good stir before diving back in.
If you want to stretch it out, you can freeze the milkshake and then re-blend when you’re ready to enjoy. But fair warning: It’s just not the same. This is definitely a “live in the moment” kind of dessert.

-
