This fun black milkshake is a treat for your eyes and taste buds! Made with rich chocolate ice cream and a splash of milk, it’s creamy, sweet, and totally irresistible.
I love to pile it high with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles. It feels like a special dessert every time! Plus, who can resist a milkshake that looks this cool? 😄
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Chocolate Ice Cream: For a deep black color, go for dark chocolate ice cream. If you can’t find it, regular chocolate ice cream with a scoop of cocoa powder stirred in works well. You can use dairy-free versions if you’re avoiding dairy.
Oreo Cookies: Oreos add a wonderful crunch and extra chocolate flavor. If you’re gluten-free, there are gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies you can use, or even chocolate graham crackers for a similar taste.
Whipped Cream: Store-bought whipped cream is easy, but homemade is super simple too! Just whip some heavy cream with a bit of sugar until soft peaks form. This creates a fresher, lighter topping.
Chocolate Syrup: Feel free to use store-bought syrup, but if you’re feeling adventurous, make your own with cocoa powder, sugar, water, and vanilla. It adds a personal touch!
How Do I Make the Perfect Glass Rim for My Milkshake?
Rimming the glass adds a fun twist! Start by mixing crushed Oreo cookies with powdered sugar on a plate, if you’re using it. The sugar helps stick to the glass. Next, dampen the rim by running a little water or chocolate syrup around it. Finally, dip the rim into the cookie mixture. This step not only looks great but adds extra cookie crunch with every sip!
Making this black milkshake not only impresses visually but also offers delightful flavors and textures. Enjoy your delicious creation! 🍦

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Glass Rims:
Start by making your glasses look extra special! Mix the crushed Oreo cookies with powdered sugar on a small plate if you are using it. Lightly wet the rim of each glass with some water or chocolate syrup. Dip the wet rim into the crumb mixture so it gets coated nicely. Set the glasses aside to dry a bit.

If you like your milkshake a little thinner, just add a bit more milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
3. Pour and Decorate:
Next, pour the delicious milkshake into your prepared glasses. Make sure to fill them up nice and full! Then, take a generous amount of whipped cream and dollop it on top of each milkshake—don’t be shy!
4. Add the Finishing Touches:
Drizzle your chocolate syrup or fudge sauce over the whipped cream to make it extra tasty and beautiful. For the final touch, sprinkle some crushed Oreo cookie crumbs on top for a nice crunch and extra chocolate flavor.

Can I Use Different Types of Ice Cream?
Absolutely! While dark chocolate ice cream gives the best color and flavor, you can use any chocolate ice cream. For a twist, try using cookies and cream ice cream for added texture!
Can I Make This Milkshake Dairy-Free?
Yes, you can! Use dairy-free ice cream and almond or oat milk as substitutes. There are also vegan whipped creams available that work beautifully for the toppings.
How Do I Store Leftover Milkshake?
If you have any leftovers, pour them into a sealed container and store them in the freezer. When ready to enjoy, let it sit out for a few minutes to soften before giving it a quick blend to bring back the creamy texture.
Can I Customize the Toppings?
Definitely! Feel free to get creative with toppings. You could add sprinkles, chocolate chips, or even a drizzle of caramel sauce. You can also replace Oreos with other cookies or candies for different flavors!
