Oreo Frappuccino Recipe
Introduction
The Oreo Frappuccino is a deliciously creamy and icy treat that combines rich coffee with the classic crunch of Oreo cookies. Perfect for a quick pick-me-up, this homemade version lets you enjoy a café-style frappuccino right in your own kitchen.
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
Instructions
- Step 1: Brew a cup of strong coffee or espresso and let it chill completely in the refrigerator. This prevents the ice from melting too quickly and keeps the frappuccino texture smooth.
- Step 2: Crush 3 to 4 Oreo cookies into coarse pieces. Keep some chunks for added crunch while ensuring the flavor blends through the drink without becoming powdery.
- Step 3: In a blender, combine the chilled coffee, milk, crushed Oreos, ice cubes, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Blend on high for about 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth but still has small Oreo chunks.
- Step 4: Pour the Oreo Frappuccino into a tall glass. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle extra crushed Oreos on top for garnish. Serve immediately to enjoy the ideal icy texture and flavor.
Tips & Variations
- For a richer flavor, use whole milk or add a splash of cream instead of milk alternative.
- Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less sweetener, or try flavored syrups like caramel or hazelnut for variation.
- Use Oreo Thins if you prefer a lighter cookie crunch.
- For a caffeine-free version, substitute the coffee with chilled decaf coffee or chocolate milk.
Storage
The Oreo Frappuccino is best enjoyed fresh and cold. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Reblend or stir well before serving, but keep in mind the ice will melt and the texture may become thinner.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I make this without a blender?
A blender is recommended to achieve the smooth, icy texture with crushed Oreos. Without one, the mixture may not blend evenly, and the cookies won’t incorporate properly.
Can I use other cookies instead of Oreos?
Yes, other chocolate sandwich cookies or chocolate chip cookies can be used for a different twist. Adjust crushing size to avoid large chunks that might affect blending.
