🛒 Ingredients (Serves 2)
For the Frappuccino:
- 240ml brewed coffee, chilled (or 2 shots of espresso)
- 240ml milk (whole, almond, oat, or any milk of your choice)
- 1-2 tablespoon chocolate syrup (or to taste)
- 1½ cups ice cubes
- 3-4 Oreos, crushed (or any chocolate sandwich cookies)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, depending on sweetness preference)
For the Whipped Cream Topping:
- 100ml heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
🔪 Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Whipped Cream
- In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Using an electric mixer or a whisk, whip the cream until stiff peaks form (about 2-3 minutes). Be careful not to over-whip it.
- Set the whipped cream aside or refrigerate until ready to use.
Step 2: Make the Frappuccino Base
- In a blender, add the chilled coffee, milk, chocolate syrup, and ice cubes.
- Blend until smooth and frothy, adjusting the ice and syrup to achieve your desired consistency and sweetness.
- Add the crushed Oreos to the blender and pulse just a few times to incorporate them into the frappuccino, leaving some small chunks for that crunchy cookies and cream texture.
Step 3: Assemble the Frappuccino
- Pour the blended frappuccino into two glasses.
- Top each glass with a generous amount of freshly whipped cream.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle some crushed Oreos on top of the whipped cream and drizzle with a little more chocolate syrup.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!
- Serve your Cookies and Cream Frappuccino immediately with a straw, and enjoy!

🧠 Tips & Tricks
- Make it vegan: Use dairy-free milk (like almond or oat milk) and swap out the heavy cream for coconut cream or a non-dairy whipped topping.
- Cookie variety: You can experiment with different cookies—chocolate chip cookies, double-stuff Oreos, or even chocolate-covered biscuits for a unique twist.
- Customize sweetness: Adjust the amount of chocolate syrup or sugar to suit your sweetness level. If you prefer a less sweet drink, reduce the syrup or opt for a sugar-free version.
- Cold brew option: For a richer coffee flavor, use cold brew coffee instead of regular brewed coffee or espresso.
- Make-ahead: Prepare your coffee ahead of time and store it in the fridge. This will save time when making the frappuccino on busy mornings!
