Cookies & Cream Frappuccino
Main Ingredients:
- 8 Oreo cookies
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 1 cup milk
Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings:
- Whipped cream
- Additional Oreo cookies (whole or crushed)
Instructions
- Crush Oreo cookies into small fragments, ensuring a mix of fine crumbs and slightly larger pieces for texture variety.
- Load ice cubes into the blender, creating a solid foundation for the frozen beverage.
- Pour cold milk over the ice, which will help create a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Sprinkle sugar and vanilla extract into the blender to enhance the overall sweetness and flavor profile.
- Add the crushed Oreo cookies, distributing them evenly to ensure balanced cookie distribution throughout the drink.
- Secure the blender lid and pulse on high speed for 45-60 seconds, periodically stopping to scrape down the sides and prevent unblended chunks.
- Inspect the mixture to confirm a uniform, velvety texture with no large cookie pieces remaining.
- Select a tall glass and artfully drizzle chocolate syrup along the interior walls, creating elegant vertical streaks.
- Gently pour the blended frappuccino into the prepared glass, allowing the chocolate syrup to create natural swirling patterns.
- Crown the beverage with a luxurious dollop of whipped cream, creating a pillowy topping.
- Garnish by sprinkling additional crushed Oreo cookies over the whipped cream or strategically place a whole Oreo cookie as a final decorative element.
Notes
- Crush Oreo cookies before blending to ensure smoother texture and even distribution of cookie pieces throughout the frappuccino.
- Use frozen milk ice cubes instead of regular ice for a richer, creamier consistency without diluting the drink’s flavor.
- Adjust sugar quantity based on personal sweetness preference or dietary needs, considering alternatives like stevia or monk fruit sweetener for low-calorie versions.
- Experiment with different milk types like almond, oat, or coconut milk to create dairy-free or vegan-friendly variations of this delightful frappuccino.
