How to Make Your Cookies & Cream Frappuccino
Step 1: Blend the Ingredients
In a blender, combine the ice cubes, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and Oreo cookies. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thicker consistency, you can add more ice. For a smoother, thinner frappuccino, add a splash of milk.
Step 2: Prepare the Glass
Before pouring, drizzle chocolate syrup along the inside of your serving glass. This not only adds sweetness but makes for a fun presentation as it slowly swirls into the drink.
Step 3: Pour and Serve
Pour your blended Cookies & Cream Frappuccino into the prepared glass. The mix of cookies and creaminess will be so satisfying to see!
Step 4: Add Toppings
Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with crushed Oreo cookies. It’s the perfect finishing touch!
Step 5: Enjoy!
Grab your straw (or sip straight from the glass!), and enjoy your homemade frappuccino. You might never go back to the café version again!
What to Serve With This Frappuccino
This frappuccino is practically a dessert in itself, but if you’re feeling extra indulgent, try pairing it with:
- Chocolate chip cookies
- Brownies
- A slice of cheesecake
- Vanilla or chocolate cupcakes
Tips for the Perfect Frappuccino
- Use crushed ice: This helps the blender work more smoothly and gives your frappuccino that signature icy texture.
- Sweetness control: Feel free to adjust the sugar based on your taste preference or skip it entirely if you like your drink less sweet.
- Dairy-free option: Use almond, soy, or oat milk for a vegan-friendly version. You can also top it with coconut whipped cream.
- Extra chocolatey: Add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the blender for an even richer chocolate flavor.
Storage Instructions
While frappuccinos are best enjoyed fresh, you can store leftovers in the fridge for a few hours. Just note that it may lose its icy consistency. Give it a quick blend or stir before serving if it starts to separate.
