Ingredients You’ll Need
-
For the Frappuccinos:
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 1 cup whole milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream
- ½ cup blue cookies & cream dip (or cookies & cream spread with a few drops of blue food coloring)
- ½ cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies
- 2 tablespoons sugar (optional, to taste)
For Topping:
- Whipped cream for topping
- Additional crushed cookies for garnish
How to Make Blue Cookies & Cream Dip Frappuccinos
Step 1: Gather and Prep Your Ingredients
Set the scene for blending bliss: measure out your milk, scoop the vanilla ice cream, and make sure your blue cookies & cream dip is ready to shine. Give your cookies a quick crush (a zip-top bag and a rolling pin work wonders), and have your garnishes at hand for a pro-worthy finish.
Step 2: Load Up the Blender
Add the ice cubes, milk, vanilla ice cream, blue cookies & cream dip, most of the crushed cookies (save a little for the top), and sugar (if using) into your blender. Loading in the liquids first can help the blades move smoothly, resulting in the perfect creamy texture.
Step 3: Blend Until Smooth and Frothy
Secure the blender lid and blend on high until the mixture is perfectly smooth, creamy, and flecked with cookie bits—usually about 30 to 60 seconds. If your blender struggles a bit, add a splash more milk. Taste and adjust the sweetness with more sugar if needed.
Step 4: Pour and Garnish
Divide the frappuccino between two tall glasses, letting that glossy blue swirled look peek through. Generously top each glass with a swirl of whipped cream and scatter the reserved crushed cookies over the whipped cream for a truly bakery-style touch.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Pop in a straw and a long spoon (to get every delicious bit at the bottom). These Blue Cookies & Cream Dip Frappuccinos are best served immediately while icy and fresh—get ready to sip, scoop, and swoon!
How to Serve Blue Cookies & Cream Dip Frappuccinos
Garnishes
Go all out with the garnishes for your Blue Cookies & Cream Dip Frappuccinos. A generous crown of whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed cookies make every glass picture-perfect. Want to add even more fun? Try blue sprinkles or a drizzle of white chocolate for an extra wow factor.
Side Dishes
Keep the sweet theme rolling with a platter of mini chocolate chip cookies, or add a refreshing contrast with a bowl of fresh berries on the side. The creamy, cool flavors of these frappuccinos pair beautifully with light snacks that aren’t too rich or heavy.
Creative Ways to Present
For special gatherings, serve Blue Cookies & Cream Dip Frappuccinos in mason jars with funky colorful straws, or rim the glasses with blue sugar for sparkle. For parties, pour smaller portions into shot glasses for a fun “dessert shooter” vibe—everyone will be talking about them!
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you’ve got leftover Blue Cookies & Cream Dip Frappuccinos, pop them in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to a day. The texture will change a bit as the ice melts, but you can give it a quick whisk or shake before enjoying.
Freezing
For make-ahead prep, pour any unblended mixture into ice cube trays and freeze. Later, blend the frozen cubes with a splash of milk for instant frappuccino goodness—no need to let summer’s cravings catch you off guard!
Reheating
Since these are served icy cold, there’s no need to reheat. If the drink has melted or separated after storage, a quick blend or shake will bring it right back to its creamy, frothy self. Always serve with fresh whipped cream for that signature touch.
FAQs
Can I make Blue Cookies & Cream Dip Frappuccinos dairy-free?
Absolutely! Choose your favorite plant-based milk (oat, almond, or soy), and swap in a dairy-free vanilla ice cream. Look for vegan whipped toppings and cookies to keep everything 100% dairy-free and just as delicious.
Where can I find blue cookies & cream dip?
Some specialty grocery stores carry colorful cookie spreads, but it’s just as easy to make your own by mixing blue gel food coloring into regular cookies & cream dip—this way, you control the shade and intensity of the blue!
What kind of chocolate sandwich cookies should I use?
Classic chocolate sandwich cookies are perfect, but feel free to experiment with double-stuffed or even chocolate-dipped versions for extra decadence. Gluten-free cookies also work well if needed.
How can I make my frappuccinos extra thick?
To get an ultra-thick, almost milkshake-like texture, use a bit less milk and add a few extra ice cubes or a bigger scoop of ice cream. High-speed blenders make it easier to achieve that signature, creamy finish.
Can I double or triple the recipe for a crowd?
Absolutely! Blue Cookies & Cream Dip Frappuccinos are the perfect party drink. Just increase all the ingredients proportionally and blend in batches to serve a crowd—it’s a fun way to bring everyone together for a sweet treat.
