HOW TO MAKE A COOKIES AND CREAM MILKSHAKE

Add the ingredients to the blender jar in the order listed. If you want a thicker cookies and cream milkshake, omit the milk and allow the ice cream to soften at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before you make it.

WHICH MILK IS BEST FOR MAKING MILKSHAKES

For a creamy, non-icy milkshake like a cookies and cream milkshake, you’ll want to use whole milk. The fat plays a huge roll in keeping the texture smooth.

You can use other milks, including dairy-free milk. If you do use another milk, I recommend using less milk and letting the ice cream soften for a few minutes before you make a milkshake.

This will reduce the chances of the cookies and cream milkshake being too ice.

HOW TO MAKE A THICK COOKIES AND CREAM MILKSHAKE

For a thick milkshake use only slightly softened ice cream and the cookies. You can always add a little milk at a time, to get the desired consistency.

You can also add ice and blend until creamy.

HOW TO MAKE A MILKSHAKE WITH A BLENDER

If you’re adding milk to your milkshake, you’ll want to add the milk to the blender jar first. Then add in the ice cream, and finally the add-ins.

Blend until well combined and serve immediately.

HOW TO MAKE A MILKSHAKE WITHOUT A BLENDER

Scoop the ice cream into a quart size mason jar or a deep glass container and microwave it for 15-30 seconds.

Add in the flavors or add-ins, secure the lid and shake. You can also stir the milkshake mixture with a spoon.

Use the spoon to break up any larger sections of ice cream.
