Notes
Substitutions & Additions: Make it Dairy-Free by swapping milk/whipped cream and using dairy-free Oreos. Add a scoop of vanilla or chocolate protein powder. Add a shot of espresso or 1/4 cup chilled strong brewed coffee for a coffee kick. Try different cookies like chocolate chip or Biscoff. Add a tablespoon of cocoa powder for extra chocolate. Swap chocolate syrup for caramel or white chocolate syrup.
Tips for Success: Use smaller or crushed ice. A decent blender helps achieve a smooth, creamy texture. Adjust sweetness to taste. Don't over-blend to keep it icy. While the drink isn't made ahead, dry ingredients can be pre-measured.
Storage: Best enjoyed immediately as the texture changes as the ice melts. Leftovers can be refrigerated but will separate and lose the icy thickness.
