Let’s Make it Together

Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine the cooled coffee, milk, vanilla ice cream, and two crushed Oreos. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Add More Cookies: Toss in another couple of Oreos and pulse the blender a few times to incorporate chunks without completely crushing them.
Prepare Your Glasses: Drizzle chocolate syrup inside your serving glasses for that fancy touch. It’s all about presentation!
Pour and Top Off: Pour the blended frappuccino into the glasses. Top generously with whipped cream, sprinkle crushed Oreos on top, and drizzle more chocolate syrup.
