Ingredients You’ll Need
-
For the Blue Frappuccinos:
- 2 cups ice
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream
- 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 6 blue cream-filled sandwich cookies (such as Oreo Blueberry or similar)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Blue gel food coloring (optional, for a vibrant color)
For Topping:
- Whipped cream
- Crushed blue cookies, for garnish
How to Make Blue Cookies & Cream Dip Frappuccinos
Step 1: Assemble Your Ingredients
Start by gathering every ingredient and setting up your blender. Have the cookies within arm’s reach, and don’t forget the optional blue gel food coloring if you want a dazzling color. This step is all about minimizing kitchen chaos and prepping for a smooth blend.
Step 2: Blend the Base
Add the ice, milk, vanilla ice cream, sweetened condensed milk, blue cookies, and vanilla extract into your blender. If you’re using blue gel food coloring, add a small drop or two now. Pop on the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture turns thick, creamy, and beautifully blue, with irresistibly tiny flecks of cookie swirling through.
Step 3: Taste and Adjust
Give your frappuccino base a quick taste. Want it sweeter? Add another splash of condensed milk. Need a more vibrant color? Another drop of blue gel will do the trick. Blend again briefly until everything’s just right to your taste.
Step 4: Serve It Up
Pour your delicious Blue Cookies & Cream Dip Frappuccinos into two tall glasses. The creamy swirl will pour thickly—if you like, layer in a little extra cookie crumble in the middle for a surprise crunch in each sip.
Step 5: Top and Garnish
Finish strong: crown each glass generously with whipped cream, then sprinkle with those gorgeous crushed blue cookies. Pop in a straw or spoon, and your dreamy dessert drink is ready to wow!
How to Serve Blue Cookies & Cream Dip Frappuccinos
Garnishes
Make it a true treat by going all out with the toppings. Swirls of whipped cream and an avalanche of cookie crumbles are just the start—try a drizzle of white chocolate or a few fresh blueberries to complement the blue hues and add extra pops of flavor.
Side Dishes
These frappuccinos are bold enough to be a dessert on their own, but for a full-on celebration, serve alongside mini brownie bites, a platter of fresh fruit, or even blue-dyed popcorn. Each bite plays beautifully with the creamy, cookie-packed flavor of the star attraction.
Creative Ways to Present
For parties, pour Blue Cookies & Cream Dip Frappuccinos into mason jars or mini milk bottles and tie with a blue ribbon for a festive touch. You can even transform them into frappuccino “float” by adding an extra scoop of ice cream on top right before serving. The possibilities are as fun as your imagination—kids and adults alike will be delighted by every creative flourish.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you find yourself with leftover frappuccino (rare, but it happens!), transfer it to a covered container and refrigerate. The texture will lose some of its initial frostiness, but a quick stir will revive its creamy magic.
Freezing
To save your Blue Cookies & Cream Dip Frappuccinos for later, pour into freezer-safe cups and freeze for up to two weeks. When ready to enjoy, let them thaw for 10–15 minutes at room temperature, then stir or re-blend until smooth again.
Reheating
While these frappuccinos are best enjoyed cold, you can gently soften a frozen batch by letting it sit out for a few minutes or pulsing it in the blender with a splash of fresh milk. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the texture unpleasantly soupy.
FAQs
Can I use regular chocolate sandwich cookies instead of blue ones?
Absolutely! While blue cookies make the drink extra vibrant and playful, you can use classic chocolate or any cookies & cream variety you love—the flavor will still shine. Just know you’ll lose that signature blue color unless you add food coloring.
What kind of milk works best?
You can use any milk you prefer, from whole milk to almond, oat, or soy. Whole or 2% milk will give the richest texture, but non-dairy alternatives are perfect for a lighter or vegan-friendly option.
Is it possible to make Blue Cookies & Cream Dip Frappuccinos without ice cream?
Yes! Substitute frozen bananas or use extra ice and a little more sweetened condensed milk for creaminess. The flavor will be slightly different, but you’ll still get a dreamy, frosty treat.
Can I make this recipe in advance for a party?
It’s best to blend these frappuccinos just before serving, but you can pre-make the base, refrigerate it, and re-blend with fresh ice right before serving. This keeps the drink lively and that beautiful cookie texture intact.
How do I make the color pop if my cookies aren’t very blue?
Blue gel food coloring comes to the rescue—just a drop or two does the trick for a stunning hue. If you’re avoiding food coloring, garnish with extra blue cookies or blueberries for natural blue vibes.
Final Thoughts
Blue Cookies & Cream Dip Frappuccinos are pure irresistible fun—delicious, dazzling, and delightfully easy to make. If you’re craving something special that feels crafted just for you, invite a friend, grab your blender, and give this recipe a whirl. There’s simply nothing like sipping happiness out of a blue-swirled glass!
