FAQs

Can I make this frappuccino without a blender?

No, a blender is necessary to crush the ice and mix everything smoothly.

Is this drink caffeinated?

No, it contains no coffee unless you add it. It’s safe for children and non-coffee drinkers.

Can I use non-dairy milk?

Yes, almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk work well.

Can I freeze leftovers?

Freezing isn’t recommended. The texture changes significantly once thawed.

What kind of Oreo cookies should I use?

Classic Oreos are ideal, but double-stuffed or flavored varieties can be used for a twist.

Can I reduce the sugar?

Yes, omit the sugar or use a low-calorie sweetener if desired. The cookies and syrup provide plenty of sweetness.

How do I make it thicker?

Use less milk or add more ice. You can also freeze some milk into ice cubes for extra creaminess.

What blender is best for this recipe?

Any high-speed blender will work. Personal-size or countertop models both perform well for frappes.

Can I make this ahead of time?

It’s best made fresh. Blended ice loses texture quickly when stored.

How can I make this more festive?

Top with crushed cookies, chocolate chips, sprinkles, or a drizzle of caramel for added flair.
