Copycat Chick-fil-A Cookies and Cream Shake
Description
Thick, creamy, and packed with real cookie shards — the drive-thru shake, made at home in five minutes with four ingredients.
Ingredients
- 3 cups full-fat vanilla ice cream, frozen solid
- ⅓ cup whole milk, plus more as needed
- 8 chocolate sandwich cookies, divided
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Whipped cream and maraschino cherries, for serving
Instructions
- Chill two glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Place 6 cookies in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin into pea-sized pieces and crumbs. Set the remaining 2 cookies aside for garnish.
- Pour the milk into the blender first, then add the ice cream and vanilla extract.
- Blend on low for 20 to 30 seconds, until smooth and thick. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time only if the blender stalls.
- Add the crushed cookies and pulse 3 to 4 times, just to distribute. Do not blend smooth.
- Pour into the chilled glasses, top with whipped cream, the reserved crushed cookies, and a cherry. Serve immediately with a wide straw and a spoon.
Equipment
- Glasses
- Blender
Notes
- Ice cream must be frozen solid. Softened ice cream is the number one cause of a thin shake.
- For an extra-thick shake, reduce the milk to ¼ cup and blend in 2 tablespoons of instant vanilla pudding mix.
- To fix a shake that came out too thin, freeze the filled glass for 10 minutes rather than re-blending.
