<ol class="no-list-style"> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4> Place 6 of the Oreo cookies into a plastic bag and crush them into medium-sized chunks using a rolling pin or the bottom of a glass. You want a mix of crumbs and small pieces for the perfect texture - avoid turning them into fine powder as the milkshake should have noticeable cookie pieces. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4> Add the vanilla ice cream to your blender. Let it soften slightly (2-3 minutes at room temperature) for easier blending. This creates the perfect creamy base without overworking your blender. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4> Pour in the milk and add the crushed Oreos. If using chocolate syrup, drizzle it in now. Pulse blend in short 5-second bursts just until combined - about 3-4 pulses total. Over-blending will make the shake too thin and melt the ice cream too quickly. The mixture should be thick enough to barely pour but still have visible Oreo pieces. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4> Break the remaining 2 Oreo cookies into quarters. Use a spoon to gently press some pieces against the inside of your serving glasses, creating a decorative effect that will be visible from the outside. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4> Pour the milkshake mixture carefully into your glasses, leaving about 2cm of space at the top for the whipped cream. If the shake seems too thick to pour easily, give it one more quick pulse in the blender. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4> Top each milkshake with a generous swirl of whipped cream. Crush one of the remaining Oreos into fine crumbs and sprinkle over the whipped cream. Place a whole Oreo cookie on top or half-inserted into the whipped cream as a decorative garnish. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4> Serve immediately with colorful straws. The milkshake is best enjoyed right away while it maintains its perfect thick, frosty texture - the ideal temperature is around -6°C to -4°C, when it's thoroughly chilled but still easily sippable. </li> </ol>
