Here’s a closer look at each ingredient and some tips to make this frappuccino extra delicious.
Ice Cubes: Ice forms the base of this frappuccino, making it cold and thick. Use about 2 cups, but adjust for your desired consistency.
Milk: Whole milk adds creaminess, but you can use any milk you like, including almond, oat, or coconut milk for a dairy-free option.
Granulated Sugar: Adds sweetness to balance the flavors of the cookies and milk. You can adjust the amount or skip it entirely if you prefer a less sweet drink.
Vanilla Extract: Vanilla enhances the flavor of the Oreos and brings warmth to the drink. Just a touch is enough to add a bakery-style aroma.
Oreo Cookies: The star of the frappuccino! Roughly breaking up the cookies allows the blender to incorporate them evenly, creating that signature cookies-and-cream flavor.
Chocolate Syrup: Drizzling chocolate syrup inside the glass not only looks great but adds a delicious chocolatey touch to each sip.
Whipped Cream and Extra Oreos (Optional): For the ultimate presentation, top with whipped cream and sprinkle with crushed or whole Oreos. It’s a treat for both the eyes and taste buds!

Tips for the Perfect Cookies and Cream Frappuccino:
Adjust the Sweetness: The sugar can be adjusted or omitted based on your preference, especially if you find the Oreos sweet enough.
Play with Texture: If you prefer a chunkier frappuccino, reserve a few Oreo pieces to add after blending for extra cookie bits.
Use Chilled Milk: For an even colder frappuccino, use milk that’s been chilled in the fridge.
For a Thicker Drink: Add a bit more ice if you want a thicker, frostier frappuccino.
