Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Quick and Easy: The hardest part about this recipe is not eating all of Oreo cookies before they make it to the blender..
  • 5-Ingredient Blended Coffee: Technically, this is caffeine free. However, you can add a shot of espresso, or strong brewed coffee, for a delicious frozen drink.
  • Best Copycat Recipe: Ok, so this is right up there with my all-time favorite copycat recipe. Second only to my hot caramel apple cider recipe.

This drink is insanely delicious. If you’ve never ordered an Oreo Frappuccino from Starbucks, it’s their vanilla bean frappuccino recipe with added chocolate sandwich cookies. So simple and so dang delicious. Even as an adult I look forward to this drink.

Add the five ingredients into a blender and pulse to perfection. It really is that easy and saves you money, since you’re ditching the line at the coffee shop!

Ingredients You’ll Need

I really love this version, which is super kid friendly, with or without added coffee. When I make a batch I double it, serve half to my kid, then add in a shot of espresso for my portion. It is so dang good. Here is what you need to get started:

  • Ice: If you’ve ever had a vanilla bean frap from Starbucks, you’ll know that the texture is a little more icy. This ingredient is optional, but trust me, it is worth adding.
  • Milk: Whole milk works best, but we’ve made this with 2%, coconut milk, and almond milk with equally delicious results.
  • Ice Cream: Pick a really good vanilla bean ice cream. I’m a sucker for Tillamook. Super rich and creamy with a bold vanilla flavor, however you can really use any of your favorite brands.
  • Vanilla: Pure vanilla extract, because you can never have enough vanilla. It also helps to elevate the flavor from good to great.
  • Oreo Cookies: No need to use name brand. Off brand will work just as well.

This Oreo frappe is pure nostalgia in a glass. It’s creamy, sweet, and loaded with just the right amount of cookie goodness. My teenager even gave it a rare “this is actually really good,” which is basically a gold star in our house.


Tip from Jesseca:

Crush an extra cookie and sprinkle it on top of the whipped cream for that over-the-top finish—it adds the perfect bit of crunch and makes it feel extra special.

Recipe Substitutions and Variations

This starbucks oreo frappuccino is already a treat, but there’s plenty of room to play! Whether you’re out of an ingredient or just in the mood to switch things up, here are a few tasty ideas:

  • Swap the cookies: No Oreos? Use any chocolate sandwich cookie you have on hand—or try mint, peanut butter, or golden Oreos for a fun twist.
  • Boost the flavor: Add a spoonful of chocolate syrup or a pinch of espresso powder to level up the richness.
  • Add more cookies: Want it extra cookie-packed? Toss in an extra Oreo or two—no judgment here.
  • Turn it into a milkshake: Skip the ice for a thicker, creamier dessert-style treat that leans more milkshake than frappe.
  • Top it off: Finish with whipped cream, crushed cookies, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for that over-the-top coffee shop vibe.

No matter how you spin it, this Oreo frappe is all about fun, flavor, and a little bit of indulgence.

Starbucks Cookies And Cream Frappuccino Recipe

This cookie and cream frappe from starbucks comes together in no time and tastes like a dessert-meets-coffee-shop dream. Just toss everything in a blender and sip your way into creamy cookie bliss. Here’s how to make it:

  1. Layer the ingredients: Start with milk, then add the ice cream, vanilla, cookies, and finally the ice. This helps the blender process everything smoothly.
  2. Blend until creamy: Blend on high speed for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until it’s thick and smooth.
  3. Pour and serve: Divide between two glasses, add a straw, and enjoy right away.

That’s it! A quick, delicious treat that feels like it came straight from your favorite café—but made right in your kitchen.

Tips for Success

  • Use high-quality vanilla ice cream: It’s the base of the drink, so go for a creamy, rich brand for the best flavor and consistency.
  • Layer ingredients in the right order: Always add liquids first and ice last. This keeps your blender from getting stuck and helps everything blend more evenly.
  • Pulse first, then blend: If your blender struggles, try pulsing a few times before blending continuously. It’ll help break up the cookies and ice.
  • Chill your serving glasses: Pop your cups in the freezer while you blend to help the frappe stay cold longer.
  • Double the cookies for extra crunch: Want cookie bits throughout? Blend 2–3 cookies, then stir in 1 crushed cookie at the end for a little texture.
  • No blender? No problem: Soften the ice cream, crush the cookies, and mix everything by hand. It’ll be more milkshake-style, but still super tasty.

Recipe FAQs

Can I make this without a blender?

Yes, though the texture will be more like a milkshake. Soften the ice cream, crush the cookies, and whisk everything together until smooth. Add crushed ice last and stir well.

What kind of milk should I use?

Any milk works! Whole milk gives the richest texture, but almond, oat, or soy milk are great dairy-free alternatives.

Can I make it ahead of time?

This frappe is best fresh, but you can freeze it and re-blend or let it thaw slightly before stirring to bring back the creamy texture.

Is this drink kid-friendly?

Absolutely! There’s no coffee or caffeine, so it’s a fun treat for all ages.

How do I make it thicker or thinner?

For a thicker drink, add more ice cream or reduce the milk. For a thinner consistency, add a splash of milk and blend again.

Can I use different cookies?

Yes! Try mint Oreos, peanut butter sandwich cookies, or even chocolate chip cookies for a fun twist.

Storage and Make-Ahead Instructions

This frappe is best enjoyed fresh and right after blending when it’s thick, frosty, and ultra-creamy. But if you want to prep ahead or save leftovers, here’s how:

  • Make ahead option: Blend the frappe as directed and pour it into a freezer-safe container or cup with a lid. Store in the freezer for up to 1 day. When ready to drink, let it sit at room temp for about 10–15 minutes, then give it a good stir or re-blend to bring back the texture.
  • Storing leftovers: If you don’t finish it, freeze the rest in a popsicle mold or ice cube tray. You’ll end up with an Oreo frappe popsicle or ready-to-blend cubes for next time!

Since ice cream and ice don’t hold their texture well in the fridge, freezing is your best bet for keeping this sweet sip tasty later.
