An Oreo shake is pure comfort in a glass, creamy vanilla, chocolatey cookies, and a swirl of whipped cream on top. It’s a diner favorite, but did you know it’s incredibly easy to make at home? With just a few simple ingredients and a blender, you’ll have a rich, restaurant-quality treat ready in minutes.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Making this Oreo shake couldn’t be easier! Here’s everything you need to get started:
- Vanilla ice cream: Choose a premium brand for the creamiest base.
- Milk: Use whole milk for richness or opt for dairy alternatives like almond or oat milk.
- Oreo cookies: These are the star of the show—don’t skimp on the classics!
- Whipped cream: For that irresistible finishing touch.
- Optional garnishes: Extra crushed Oreos, chocolate drizzle, or even a cherry on top.
Pro Tips for the Best Oreo Shake
- Chill your glass: Place your serving glass in the freezer for 10–15 minutes before pouring. It keeps your shake cooler longer and adds a professional touch.
- Adjust the thickness: For a thicker shake, add more ice cream; for a thinner consistency, add more milk.
- Experiment with flavors: Add a splash of mint extract for a mint Oreo shake or mix in peanut butter for a nutty twist.

Storage
If you have a leftover shake (unlikely, but possible!), pour it into an airtight container and freeze. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, let it thaw slightly and give it a quick blend to restore its creamy texture.
Variations to Try
While the classic Oreo shake is hard to beat, here are some fun ways to customize it:
- Strawberry Oreo Shake: Add a handful of fresh strawberries to the mix for a fruity touch.
- Mocha Oreo Shake: Blend in a shot of espresso for a coffee-flavored treat.
- Double Chocolate Oreo Shake: Swap vanilla ice cream for chocolate ice cream and add a splash of chocolate syrup for extra decadence.
