Questions

How much is a cookies and cream milkshake at Chick-fil-A?

A small is $3.25, and a large is $3.85.  If you’re making shakes for a whole family, it’s cheaper to buy the ingredients and make your own at home.

How many calories?

There are 610 calories in a small Chick-fil-A milkshake, with 780 in the large.  Our recipe is 603 calories for an 8-ounce serving size, which is higher, but keep in mind that we’re using a higher calorie icecream.  Chick-fil-A using Icedream, their signature ice milk.  You can always lower the calories by using lowfat frozen yogurt instead.

Are Oreo shakes healthy?

Our homemade milkshake contains lots of protein, calcium, and iron.  This is definitely a treat to enjoy in moderation, since it contains a lot of sugar and fat.  See the full nutrition facts at the end of the recipe card.

Can I make this milkshake in advance?

Yes, you absolutely can!  Blend up the shake, pour it into glasses, and cover them with plastic wrap.  You can freeze the shakes for up to 2 weeks like this.  Make sure to let the shakes defrost at room temperature for 30 minutes before drinking.

How to Make

Gather the ingredients.  You’ll need about 9 scoops of ice cream, 8 Oreo cookies, and 1/3 cup of whole milk.  The whipped cream and maraschino cherries are an optional garnish.

Crush the Oreos in a zip-top plastic bag with a rolling pin.

Place the ice cream, milk, and crushed cookies in a blender.

Blend on low speed until smooth, then mix on a higher speed for a few seconds.

Pour the shake into two glasses.

If desired, garnish with the whipped cream and a cherry.

Variations

The easiest way to change up this shake is to use a different flavor of Oreo or ice cream.  Here are some ideas that you might want to try.

• Mint: use mint Oreos instead and add a little peppermint extract.  You can even use mint chocolate chip ice cream instead of vanilla.
• Double Stuff: this will make your shake a little bit lighter and more creamy.
• Double Chocolate: use chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla.  Drizzle chocolate syrup on top of the shake.
• Blonde Shake: use the golden Oreos instead.

Pro Tips

• Keep the ice cream in the freezer until right before you use it.
• Skip crushing the Oreos in advance if you have a powerful blender.
• Pour leftover shake into glasses, cover with plastic, and freeze until ready to enjoy.
• Omit the garnish if you’re watching your calories.
