How to Make Oreo Frappuccino
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
Directions:
- Brew a cup of strong coffee or espresso and let it cool completely in the refrigerator to prevent melting the ice when blending. This helps to create a smooth frappuccino texture.
- Crush 3 to 4 Oreo cookies into coarse pieces. Keep some chunks for crunch and allow the cookie flavor to blend without becoming powdery.
- In a blender, combine the chilled coffee, milk, crushed Oreos, ice cubes, sweetener, and a splash of vanilla extract if you choose to use it.
- Blend on high for about 30 seconds until smooth but still slightly chunky from the Oreo bits.
- Pour the blended Oreo Frappuccino into a tall glass. Top with whipped cream if desired, and sprinkle extra crushed Oreos on top. Serve immediately to enjoy the best icy texture and flavor.
How to Serve Oreo Frappuccino
Oreo Frappuccino is best served cold. You can enjoy it as a refreshing drink on its own or pair it with a dessert to make a delicious treat. Consider serving it with extra Oreos on the side for dipping or alongside a slice of cake for an even more indulgent experience.
How to Store Oreo Frappuccino
If you have any leftovers, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to a day. However, the texture may change as the ice melts. To enjoy it later, consider blending it again with some ice to restore its icy consistency.
Tips to Make Oreo Frappuccino
- For a richer flavor, you can use a flavored coffee or espresso.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sweetener according to your taste.
- You can substitute the milk for any plant-based alternative like almond, soy, or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
- Freeze some coffee in advance and use it instead of regular ice cubes to keep the drink cold without diluting it.
Variation
You can customize the Oreo Frappuccino by adding other mix-ins like chocolate syrup, caramel drizzle, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a minty twist, try mixing in some mint extract.
