Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious drink:
Cookies: I recommend using classic chocolate sandwich cookies for that authentic flavor; feel free to crush them well for maximum texture.
Vanilla Ice Cream: Choose a high-quality vanilla ice cream to ensure a creamy base; the better the ice cream, the better your frappuccino.
Milk: Use whole milk for richness; however, almond or oat milk can work if you’re feeling adventurous.
Whipped Cream: Don’t skimp on this; homemade or store-bought whipped cream adds an irresistible topping that elevates your drink.
Chocolate Syrup: Use it to drizzle over the top; it adds both flavor and visual appeal to your frappuccino masterpiece.

Let’s Make it Together
Prep Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients on the counter so everything is within reach. Crush those cookies into fine pieces using a rolling pin or food processor until they resemble crumbs.
Blend It Up: In a blender, combine about 1 cup of milk with 1-2 scoops of vanilla ice cream and half of your crushed cookies. Blend until smooth and creamy with no lumps remaining.
Create Cookie Magic: Add in the remaining crushed cookies along with any extra chocolate syrup you’d like—this is where you can get fancy. Pulse gently so that bits of cookie remain visible for texture.
Pour and Decorate.: Carefully pour your frappuccino into tall glasses. Top each glass generously with whipped cream—don’t hold back here. Drizzle some chocolate syrup over the whipped cream for that Instagram-worthy touch.
Sip and Enjoy.: Grab your favorite straw (or just dive in with a spoon) and take that first glorious sip. Sit back and relish every cool mouthful while contemplating whether this should be breakfast or dessert (the eternal struggle).
And there you have it—a delightful Cookies & Cream Frappuccino that’s sure to impress. Enjoy.
