It’s creamy, dreamy, and packed with that nostalgic Oreo flavor we all love – plus a splash of vibrant blue that makes it Insta-worthy.

Why This Frappuccino Will Become Your Go-To Dessert Drink

Before we get to the good stuff, let me tell you why this recipe is special:

• Tastes like childhood nostalgia (but way more sophisticated)
• Perfect balance of creamy and crunchy textures
• Customizable colors for any occasion (try pink for Valentine’s Day!)
• Ready in under 5 minutes – faster than driving to a coffee shop
• Fun to make with kids (but let’s be real, you’ll want it all for yourself)

The Magic Behind the Blue

Now, about that gorgeous blue hue – we’re using either blue frosting or food coloring mixed with vanilla frosting. Why frosting instead of just food coloring? Because it adds:

1. Extra creaminess to the texture
2. Subtle vanilla flavor that complements the cookies
3. Better color distribution than liquid food coloring alone

Ingredients & Why They Matter

For the Frappuccino Base:

1. Ice – 1 cup
   The backbone of any good frappuccino. Makes it frosty and refreshing.
2. Milk – 1/2 cup (any kind you like)
   Creates the liquid base. Whole milk makes it creamier, almond milk keeps it lighter.
3. Vanilla ice cream or frozen whipped topping – 1/2 cup
   Ice cream = richer. Whipped topping = fluffier. Your call!
4. Vanilla extract – 1/4 tsp
   Enhances all the flavors and adds depth.
5. Chocolate sandwich cookies – 3-4
   The star of the show! Gives that classic cookies-and-cream flavor.
6. Blue vanilla frosting – 2 tbsp
   For color and extra sweetness. Or use white frosting + blue food coloring.
7. Sweetened condensed milk – 1 tbsp (optional)
   If you want it extra rich and dessert-like.

For the Toppings:

1. Whipped cream
   Because what’s a frappuccino without the cloud on top?
2. Crushed Oreos
   For that satisfying crunch in every sip.
3. Blue sprinkles/edible glitter
   Makes it look like a party in a cup.
4. Blue frosting/white chocolate sauce
   For decorative drizzles that wow.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Blend the Magic

1. Add all base ingredients to your blender
2. Start on low to break up the cookies
3. Increase to high until perfectly smooth
4. Taste and adjust:
   • More frosting for sweeter/brighter
   • More milk if too thick
   • Extra cookie if you want more crunch

Pro Tip: For an ultra-smooth texture, blend cookies alone first into crumbs.

Step 2: Prep Your Glass (The Secret to Wow Factor)

1. Take a spoonful of blue frosting or white chocolate
2. Swirl it along the inside of your glass
3. Let it drip naturally for that artsy look

Why bother? This creates beautiful blue streaks when you pour in the drink!

Step 3: Assemble Like a Pro

1. Pour your blended mixture into the prepared glass
2. Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream
3. Sprinkle generously with crushed cookies
4. Add a pinch of blue sprinkles for sparkle
5. Optional: Drizzle more frosting on top

Presentation Tip: Use a tall, clear glass to show off those layers!

People Also Ask (PAA)

Can I make this without a blender?

You can stir crushed cookies into a vanilla milkshake, but the texture won’t be as smooth.

How long does it stay thick?

Best enjoyed immediately, but will keep in fridge for 1 hour (stir before drinking).

Can I use cookie crumbs instead of whole cookies?

Absolutely! Use about 1/4 cup of pre-crushed cookies.

Is there a way to make it less sweet?

Skip the condensed milk and use unsweetened whipped topping.

Can I prep this ahead for a party?

Blend the base and keep it frozen, then thaw slightly and re-blend when ready to serve.

The Story Behind the Recipe

I created this recipe last year for my niece’s unicorn-themed birthday party. The kids went wild for the blue color, and the adults secretly kept coming back for seconds because it tastes like those cookies-and-cream candies we all sneak from the bulk bins. Now it’s my most-requested recipe whenever friends come over – whether we’re watching movies, celebrating birthdays, or just pretending it’s Friday when it’s only Tuesday.

Final Thoughts

It’s the perfect way to turn an ordinary afternoon into something special, or to cap off a great meal with a dessert that’s both familiar and exciting. The best part? It’s so easy that you’ll wonder why you ever paid $7 for something similar at coffee shops.
