Cookies & Cream Frappuccino

Look, I’m going to be honest with you.

Making a Cookies & Cream Frappuccino at home is ridiculously easy. We’re talking 5 minutes of blending. That’s it.

You get that same creamy, cookie-loaded drink from your favorite coffee shop. But here’s the kicker… you’re making it for a fraction of what they charge.

Crushed Oreos. Cold milk. A little chocolate.

Done.

Why You’ll Actually Want to Make This

It’s stupid simple. 5 minutes. Minimal cleanup. I’m not even joking.

Your wallet will thank you. Coffee shop frappuccinos? $5 to $7 easy. This? Maybe a dollar.

Make it yours. Want it sweeter? Done. Need coffee in it? Add it. Prefer different cookies? Go for it.

Hot day savior. Nothing beats an icy blended drink when you’re melting outside.

Kids can drink it too. Skip the coffee and you’ve got yourself a cookies and cream milkshake.

Ingredients for Cookies & Cream Frappuccino

Here’s what you need. And I bet you already have most of this stuff:

• Ice Cubes: 1 to 1.5 cups (this is what makes it thick and slushy)
• Milk: 3/4 cup whole milk works best, but almond or oat milk? Totally fine.
• Sugar: 2 tablespoons to start (you can always add more)
• Vanilla Extract: 1/2 teaspoon (trust me on this)
• Oreo Cookies: 4 to 5 cookies (the star of the show)
• Chocolate Syrup: For drizzling and blending
• Whipped Cream: Because… obviously

Want to jazz it up?

• Brewed coffee or espresso (1/4 to 1/2 cup) for the caffeine addicts
• Extra crushed Oreos on top
• Chocolate chips for some crunch

Ways to Mix This Up

The beauty of this recipe? You can totally customize it.

Need caffeine? Add 1/4 cup of cooled coffee or a shot of espresso. Problem solved.

Chocolate obsessed? Use chocolate milk instead of regular. Then add even more chocolate syrup.

Bored of Oreos? (Is that even possible?) Try Golden Oreos, chocolate chip cookies, or brownie pieces.

Post-workout treat? Toss in a scoop of vanilla or chocolate protein powder.

Mint lover? Grab some mint Oreos and add a tiny drop of peppermint extract.

Peanut butter fan? Add a tablespoon of peanut butter. You’re welcome.

How to Make Cookies & Cream Frappuccino

Step 1: Prepare Your Glass

Grab your chocolate syrup.

Drizzle it around the inside of your glass. Make it pretty. Those chocolate streaks? That’s what makes it look like the coffee shop version.

Set it aside.

Step 2: Blend the Base

Ice cubes go in the blender first.

Then milk, sugar, and vanilla extract.

Blend on high for about 30 seconds. You want the ice broken down into small pieces.

Step 3: Add the Cookies

Break those Oreos into chunks.

Drop them in. Add a tablespoon of chocolate syrup.

Here’s the trick… pulse the blender a few times. Don’t just let it run.

You want some cookie chunks left. Not a completely smooth drink. Those little pieces of cookie? That’s what makes it amazing.

Step 4: Check Consistency

It should be thick and slushy.

Too thin? Add more ice and blend again.

Too thick? Splash in a little more milk.

Step 5: Pour and Top

Pour everything into your prepared glass.

Now comes the fun part.

Pile on that whipped cream. Don’t be shy.

Drizzle more chocolate syrup over the top. Sprinkle with crushed Oreos if you’re feeling fancy.

Step 6: Serve Immediately

Stick a straw in there.

Drink it right away. Seriously. These taste best when they’re fresh and ice cold.

How to Serve This Thing

Use a tall glass. Get a wide straw so those cookie pieces can actually get through.

Want to make it special? Rim the glass with chocolate syrup and crushed Oreos before you pour. Or stick a whole Oreo on the rim of the glass.

I recently made these for my nieces on a Saturday afternoon. They lost their minds.

This works as:

• An afternoon pick-me-up
• A dessert drink after dinner
• A special treat for kids
• Something to serve with cookies or brownies

Storing Cookies & Cream Frappuccino

Real talk?

These are meant to be drunk immediately. The ice starts melting after 10 to 15 minutes and the whole texture changes.

But if you must save it…

Pour it into an airtight container. Freeze for up to 2 hours max.

Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes. Stir it really well before drinking.

Fair warning though. It won’t be quite the same.

Want to save time later? Measure out your sugar and crush some Oreos. Store them in a small container. When you’re ready to blend, just add ice, milk, and vanilla.

Tips That’ll Make Yours Even Better

Freeze milk cubes ahead of time. This is genius. Use frozen milk cubes instead of ice cubes. Your frappuccino won’t get watered down.

Chill your glass. Stick it in the freezer for 10 minutes before you make your drink. It’ll stay cold way longer.

Don’t over-blend the cookies. Pulse in short bursts. You want texture. Not baby food.

Start with less sugar. You can always add more. You can’t take it out.

Use real vanilla extract. The fake stuff? You can taste the difference.

Whole milk = creamiest texture. Low-fat milk works, but it’ll be thinner.

Coffee turns this into a grown-up drink. Add espresso or strong brewed coffee. Now you’ve got yourself an actual pick-me-up.

Questions People Always Ask Me

Can I make this without a blender?
Not really. You need that blending power to get the slushy texture. A food processor might work if you’re desperate. But a blender is your best bet.

How do I make this dairy-free?
Easy. Use almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk. Top it with coconut whipped cream instead of the regular stuff.

Can I add coffee to this?
Absolutely. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of cooled brewed coffee. Or one shot of espresso. Now you’ve got a caffeinated version.

Why is my frappuccino watery?
Two reasons. Either you used too much milk or not enough ice. Add more ice cubes and blend again.

Can I use a different cookie?
Of course. Try chocolate chip cookies, Golden Oreos, brownie pieces, or graham crackers. Go wild.

How can I make this healthier?
Use unsweetened almond milk. Cut the sugar to 1 tablespoon (or use a substitute). Skip the chocolate syrup. Use light whipped cream or skip it entirely.

Bottom Line

This Cookies & Cream Frappuccino is the real deal.

Five minutes of your time. A handful of ingredients you probably already have.

Need caffeine? Toss in some coffee.

Feeling experimental? Try different cookies.

Whether you need a quick afternoon treat or something special for dessert, this frappuccino delivers.
