Ingredient Breakdown
Ice

Milk
Milk forms the base of the drink and contributes to its creamy consistency.

Heavy Cream
Heavy cream adds luxurious richness and creates a thick milkshake-like texture.
Cookies and Cream Dip
This ingredient delivers the signature cookies and cream flavor while making the frappuccino extra creamy.
Crushed Cookies
Crushed chocolate cookies add texture and little bursts of chocolate flavor throughout the drink.
Blue Food Coloring

How to Make a Cookies and Cream Frappuccino
Step 1: Blend the Base
Add the following ingredients to a blender:
- Ice
- Milk
- Heavy cream
- Cookies and cream dip
- Sugar (if using)
If you’d like the signature blue color, add a drop or two of blue food coloring.
Blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Add the Cookies
Add the crushed cookies to the blender.
Pulse briefly a few times.
Avoid overblending so some cookie pieces remain chunky for added texture.
Step 3: Prepare the Glass
For a fun presentation, drizzle colored syrup or cookie cream along the inside of the glass before pouring.
This creates decorative swirls that look stunning once filled.
Step 4: Pour
Pour the blended frappuccino into a tall serving glass.
Step 5: Top It Off
Add a generous swirl of whipped cream.
Sprinkle extra crushed cookies over the whipped cream.
Finish with a whole chocolate sandwich cookie for a bakery-style presentation.
Step 6: Serve
Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy while cold and frosty.

Freeze milk into ice cube trays and use them instead of regular ice for an even creamier texture.
Chill the Glass
