Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I use almond milk or oat milk instead of dairy?
Yes! Any milk works just stick to unsweetened if you want more control over sweetness.
Do I need coffee in this drink?
Not at all. This is a coffee-free frappe. If you want caffeine, add 1–2 shots of espresso or cold brew.
Can I make it vegan?
Totally! Use non-dairy milk, vegan whipped cream, and check that your cookies are dairy-free (Oreos are!).
How can I store leftovers?
Honestly, it’s best fresh. But if you need to, pop it in the freezer and re-blend with a splash of milk later.

- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1½ cups ice
- 6 chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)

- Optional toppings: whipped cream, cookie crumbles, extra syrup
Substitutions:
- Use low-fat milk or almond milk for a lighter version.
