How to Store

• Milkshakes are best enjoyed immediately.
• If needed, you can refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container for up to 1 day — stir before serving.
• Do not freeze after blending; separation and icy texture can occur.

What Not to Do

• Do not add all the milk at once — too much milk makes it watery.
• Do not blend at high speed from the start — add milk first for smooth blending.
• Do not add warm ice cream — cold ingredients blend into a creamier shake.
• Do not leave out the crushed cookies if you want authentic Oreo texture and flavor.

Tips & Variations

• For extra cookie chunks, add some crushed Oreos after blending and gently stir by hand.
• Use chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla for a double chocolate Oreo shake.
• Add a few tablespoons of chocolate sauce in the blender for a richer chocolate taste.
• Make it vegan by using dairy-free ice cream and plant-based milk.
• Sprinkle extra crushed Oreos on top for texture.
