FAQs

1. Can I use low-fat ice cream or milk?

Yes—you can use lower-fat alternatives, but the shake may be slightly less rich and creamy.

2. Can I make this ahead?

Milkshakes are best fresh, but you can blend the base and freeze in individual portions, then refresh with a quick re-blend.

3. Can I make it dairy-free?

Use non-dairy ice cream and milk (such as almond or oat) and a dairy-free whipped topping.

4. How can I make it thicker?

Add extra ice cream or freeze the glass before serving for a frosty texture.

5. What if my shake is too thin?

Add more ice cream or a small scoop of ice to thicken the consistency.

6. Can I add other mix-ins?

Definitely—try peanut butter, caramel sauce, or flavored syrups for added complexity.

7. Can I skip the fudge swirl?

Yes—the shake tastes great on its own without the fudge layer.

8. How many Oreos should I use?

Three are blended into the shake and three are reserved for toppings, but you can adjust to taste.

9. Can I make it kid-friendly?

Absolutely—omit any alcohol additions and keep it fun and indulgent.

10. How do I keep the whipped cream fluffy?

Use a chilled bowl and beat until soft peaks form. Add a small amount of powdered sugar to stabilize it if needed.
