Cozy Vegan Oreo Milkshake Recipe, Made Simple

There’s something irresistibly comforting about a thick, creamy milkshake—especially when it’s loaded with everyone’s beloved Oreos. I love how this Vegan Oreo Milkshake Recipe brings together rich, velvety vegan vanilla ice cream and those iconic cookies for a toasty, indulgent treat that feels like a warm hug in a glass.

Whether you’re craving a sweet pick-me-up or want to wow guests with a fun dessert, you’ll find this recipe super straightforward. No fancy ingredients, just a few simple steps to a buttery, crisp, perfectly balanced vegan milkshake that’s perfect year-round.

Grab your blender and let’s dive into a shake that’s as joyful to make as it is to sip—you won’t miss a drop of dairy here!

Ingredient Lowdown

• Vegan vanilla ice cream (2 cups): The star of creaminess here—rich and buttery without dairy. I favor coconut milk bases for their natural sweetness and silky finish.
• Vegan milk (1/2 cup): Oat milk’s my go-to for blending thanks to its mild flavor and slightly thick texture—but almond or soy milk work too.
• Oreos (10 pcs): Classic sandwich cookies add that crisp crunch and chocolatey punch. You can swap with other vegan sandwich cookies if Oreos aren’t your thing.
• Vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips (1/3 cup): These melt into the mix for little bursts of bittersweet magic—don’t skip them! Feel free to adjust based on your sweetness preference.

Set Up for Success

Before you blend away, it’s helpful to measure out your ingredients so things come together quickly. No oven or pans needed here, but make sure your ice cream is firm yet scoopable—room temp for a few minutes softens it nicely without melting.

Step-by-Step: Vegan Oreo Milkshake Recipe

1. Add the vegan vanilla ice cream and oat milk to your blender. I like using vegan ice cream that’s creamy but firm, so the milk helps loosen the texture just enough for smooth blending.
2. Drop in the Oreos and chocolate chips. You’ll see the cookies breaking apart quickly, releasing that classic chocolate crunch. The chocolate chips add little bursts of sweetness throughout.
3. Blend on medium speed until silky smooth. You want a toasty, thick texture that’s easy to sip but feels substantial—not watery or icy. If your shake seems too thick, add a splash more vegan milk gradually.
4. Pour into a tall glass immediately. This way you catch it at its creamiest, with the rich, golden color that invites a first sip.
5. Enjoy without delay. The crisp Oreos will soften as the shake warms, but it’s best fresh to experience that buttery crunch alongside the luscious chocolate.

Flavor Twists for Vegan Oreo Milkshake Recipe

• Mint magic: Add a splash of peppermint extract for a refreshing, cool twist.
• Nutty crunch: Blend in a spoonful of almond butter or sprinkle crushed nuts on top for texture.
• Berry boost: Toss in a handful of frozen raspberries for a tangy surprise.
• Mocha delight: Stir in a shot of espresso or instant coffee powder for coffee lovers.
• Cookie swap: Try vegan double-stuffed Oreos for an ultra-decadent experience.
• Caramel swirl: Drizzle vegan caramel sauce inside the glass before pouring the shake for an elegant touch.

Storage & Make-Ahead Tips

• Storing: Best enjoyed immediately but store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
• Freezing: Freeze the blended shake in popsicle molds for fun, on-the-go treats.
• Reheating: Vegan milkshakes don’t reheat well; thaw and give a quick remix in the blender for best texture.
• Prep ahead: Crush Oreos and keep them ready in a sealed bag so tossing this shake together is lightning fast.

Vegan Oreo Milkshake Recipe FAQs

• Can I use other vegan ice cream flavors? Absolutely! Vanilla is classic here, but chocolate or coffee vegan ice cream also makes a fantastic base.
• What’s the best vegan milk to use? Oat milk blends nicely with vegan ice cream for a creamy shake, but almond, soy, or cashew milk all work depending on your preference.
• Are Oreos vegan-friendly? Yes, classic Oreos don’t contain dairy, making them a convenient cookie option for vegan recipes.
• Can I make this shake without a blender? A blender is best for a smooth, lump-free shake, but a food processor or immersion blender can work in a pinch.
• How do I make it thicker or thinner? Adjust the amount of vegan milk: less milk makes a toasty, thick shake, more milk thins it for easier sipping.
