Ingredients In This Recipe

The printable recipe further down the page has the complete list of ingredients, including quantities and step-by-step instructions.

Milk – You can use any type of milk for your milkshake, but keep in mind that nonfat milk results in a thinner consistency compared to full cream milk. 

Using whole milk, cream, half and half, or Greek yogurt will create a thicker, creamier milkshake.

Ice cream – We used strawberry ice cream for this milkshake. But you could use vanilla ice cream or a combination of strawberry and vanilla ice cream.

Strawberries - We used frozen strawberries in the milkshake to keep it thick and cold, but fresh strawberries can also be used.

Oreo cookies - We use the standard chocolate and cream oreo cookies, but you could use another flavor.

Whipped cream - this is optional. You could top the milkshake with plain vanilla whipped cream or top it with another flavor like maple whipped cream, caramel whipped cream or another flavor of your choice.

Equipment

You will need a high-speed blender and a 370ml (13 ounces) drinking glass.

Step By Step Instructions

To make this milkshake, place the ice cream, milk, and vanilla extract, and blend until almost smooth.

Add the oreo cookies and strawberries and pulse a couple of times, until the strawberries and cookies are just incorporated.

Pour into a tall glass. Garnish with whipped cream, an oreo cookie (crushed or whole), and a strawberry.

Recipe Tips

Start with cold ingredients. Using cold milk, cold or frozen strawberries, and ice cream will help to create a thick, creamy texture.

Use a large or medium-sized blender, this will give you the best results for a smooth and creamy consistency. If you don't have a blender, you can use a food processor or an immersion blender.

Adjust the thickness. If you find the milkshake is too thick, add a little more milk to thin it out. If it's too thin, add more ice cream or some ice cubes.

Serve immediately. Milkshakes are best served fresh and cold so enjoy them as soon as you make them.
