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.
how to serve Oreo Frappuccino
Serve the Oreo Frappuccino cold in a tall glass, topped with whipped cream and extra crushed Oreos. You can also use a straw for easy sipping. It makes a great snack or dessert on a hot day or as a fun drink for gatherings.
how to store Oreo Frappuccino
It’s best to enjoy the Oreo Frappuccino fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can keep it in the fridge for a few hours. Just know that the texture may change. You can give it a quick blend if it separates before serving again.
