What are Some Variations on an Oreo Milkshake? 

If you want to get creative with your Oreo milkshake, there are plenty of ways to do so. You can add additional ingredients like chocolate syrup, peanut butter, marshmallow fluff, or candy sprinkles for an extra burst of flavor.

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even try making a “loaded" Oreo milkshake with all sorts of goodies thrown in. Another way to switch things up is by using different types of Oreos, like golden or mint flavored.

Or you could use a combination of two or more flavors for a unique twist!

Some of my favorite fun milkshake ideas are:

• Chocolate-Mint Milkshake: combine crushed chocolate and mint Oreos with vanilla ice cream, milk, and a tiny bit of peppermint extract.
• Salted Caramel Milkshake: add caramel syrup to a milkshake made with salted caramel Oreos and french vanilla ice cream.
• Cookie Dough Milkshake: blend cookie dough flavored Oreos with chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream for an indulgent treat.
• Peanut Butter Cup Milkshake: mix together peanut butter cup flavored Oreo cookies with your favorite brand of chocolate or peanut butter ice cream.
• S'more Milkshake: whip up a s’mores themed milkshake by combining graham cracker crumbs, marshmallow fluff, crushed golden oreo cookies, and either chocolate or vanilla ice cream in the blender.
• PB&J Milkshake: this unique twist on the classic sandwich combines creamy peanut butter morsels and strawberry jam flavor added to traditional oreos blended in smoothie form!
• Tiramisu Shake : blend together coffee liqueur infused regular Oreo cookies along with mascarpone cheese and whipped topping for an Italian inspired shake!

How is an Oreo Milkshake Best Served?

The shake is best served cold, so as soon as you make it, it should be enjoyed. If it stays out too long, it will be goopy and warm. Like any milkshake, that is NOT optimal. So enjoy right away.

How to Store Leftover Oreo Milkshake

When your Oreo Milkshake is just too much but you don't want to waste it, you can always store it in the freezer after you made it. After it refreezes, letting it sit out for 3-5 minutes will soften it up again. If necessary, you can run it through the blender again.

Is this Oreo Milkshake Gluten-Free?

No, as written, this is not a gluten-free Oreo milkshake. In this recipe we used regular Oreo cookies, but they do have Gluten-Free Oreos that can easily be replaced in this recipe.

Is This Oreo Milkshake Vegan?

No, as written, this is not a vegan Oreo milkshake. In this recipe we used regular dairy ingredients, such as ice cream and milk. If you want to make a vegan Oreo milkshake, there are many plant-based alternatives you can use instead that will still provide delicious results.

And, although Oreo has never represented themselves as being vegan, based on the ingredients and internet lore, Oreo cookies don't have any non-vegan ingredients.
