how to make Oreo Frappuccino
Ingredients:
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, chilled
- 1/2 cup milk or milk alternative
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 3 to 4 Oreo cookies, crushed into coarse pieces
- 1 to 2 tablespoons sweetener (sugar, honey, or syrup), adjust to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream for topping
Directions:
- Brew a cup of strong coffee or espresso and let it cool completely in the refrigerator. This prevents the ice from melting too quickly and helps create a smooth texture.
- Crush 3 to 4 Oreo cookies into coarse pieces. Keep some chunks for crunch and let the cookie flavor blend into the drink without making it too powdery.
- In a blender, combine the chilled coffee, milk, crushed Oreos, ice cubes, sweetener, and a splash of vanilla extract if using. Blend on high for about 30 seconds until smooth but still slightly chunky from the Oreo bits.
- Pour the blended Oreo Frappuccino into a tall glass. Top with whipped cream if desired and sprinkle extra crushed Oreos on top. Serve immediately to enjoy the best icy texture and flavor.
