What can I use instead of Ice Cream in a Milkshake?

So you might be wondering, how can you make thick milkshakes without ice cream?

There are a few simple ingredients that help thicken things up: heavy cream, Oreos and Ice cubes.

Although these are not the only ingredients used, they’re a great way to give this delicious beverage it’s creamy texture

Ingredients used to make this simple Oreo Milkshake recipe

There a some pretty simple ingredients used for this easy recipe, found in any big grocery store:

Cold Milk. For the base of the milkshake. Make sure it’s full-fat milk! the creaminess of whole milk makes a difference for achieving the perfect milkshake with a thicker consistency
Heavy cream. Helps with the thickness and creaminess of cream shake
Granulated sugar. Helps to sweeten the milkshake
Vanilla extract. Will enhance other flavors
Chocolate Sandwich cookies. Gives the Oreo flavor and chocolate flavor to it -it’s definitely a key ingredient!
Whipped Cream, chocolate sauce and chunks of Oreo cookies to top

Making Homemade Oreo Milkshake

There’s only one simple step for making this Chocolate Oreo Milkshake: blend the cup of whole milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla and Oreo biscuits together, until well combined. It’s that simple!

Although I will add the final and most important step as an extra, which is also the best part: the toppings of this Creamy Oreo Milkshake, and obviously, drinking it.

Pour the milkshake inside of the glass, top with whipped cream, drizzle chocolate syrup on top, then add Oreo crumbs and an extra cookie if desired. Then enjoy this perfect sweet treat immediately (room temperature milkshakes don’t taste as good!)

Substitutions for a Vegan version of this Oreo Shake recipe

Although I haven’t tried this version, I bet it would taste as good! make the following substitutions:

Heavy cream with coconut cream
Milk with non-dairy milk of your choice, like almond milk or coconut milk
Whipped cream with whipped coconut cream (refrigerate until thick, then beat the thick part and discard the water)
Drizzle of chocolate syrup with a vegan version

Variations

Chocolate milk tastes REALLY good with this recipe! Simply swap it out for the regular milk or plant-based milk that you’ll use for this recipe. *Just know that using chocolate milk will add more sugar.
Chocolate syrup
- This recipe doesn’t have chocolate syrup. I did it on purpose to limit the added sugars. You can if you’d like, add 1 or 2 teaspoons of chocolate syrup. This variation would add less sugar than using chocolate milk ;-).
Use different oreos…or other cookies!
- The possibilities are endless here. Chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter, snickerdoodle, whatever you like! Have some fun with it.

What can you use instead of ice cream in a milkshake?

For the simplest no-ice-cream milkshake, simply blend ice cubes with milk, sugar, and a dash of vanilla extract. The more fat that's in the milk, the creamier your milkshake will be—if you want a super-creamy milkshake, use equal parts heavy cream and milk.

How do you make a milkshake without ice cream?

Blend ice, milk, sugar, vanilla extract and fruit together in a blender until smooth. Using skim or low fat milk will result in a fairly watery drink that will lack milkshake consistency. The more milk fat is in the milk, the more body and smoothness the milkshake will have.

How do you thicken a milkshake without ice?

Xanthan gum! Xanthan gum will add almost no calories to your recipe and 1/2 teaspoon or less to a shake or smoothie will instantly turn your consistency thick. Seriously, that's all you need. It's like a food genie in a bag.
