•- 10 Oreo sandwich cookies (divided: 8 crushed, 2 for garnish)
•- ⅔ cup whole milk, cold
•- 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
•- ¾ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
•- 1½ tablespoons granulated white sugar
Instructions
1Chill two 16-ounce serving cups in the freezer for at least 15 minutes before assembly.
2Place your ice cream in the refrigerator for 8-10 minutes to soften slightly, reaching a soft-serve consistency that blends smoothly without melting completely.
3Crush 8 Oreo cookies using a sealed plastic bag and rolling pin, creating varied textures - pulse some into fine crumbs while leaving other pieces chunky for authentic texture contrast.
4Combine the softened vanilla ice cream, cold whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and sugar in a high-powered blender. Pulse in 3-4 second bursts until the mixture reaches a smooth, pourable soft-serve consistency, about 15-20 seconds total. Avoid over-blending which creates excessive air bubbles.
5Pour the blended ice cream base into a large chilled mixing bowl. Add the crushed Oreo pieces, reserving 2 tablespoons for topping.
6Fold the cookie pieces into the ice cream using a sturdy rubber spatula with quick, sweeping motions, mixing just until evenly distributed throughout, about 8-10 folds. Over-mixing will turn the base gray and dissolve the cookie texture.
7Retrieve your frozen serving cups and divide the McFlurry mixture evenly between them, filling to about ¾ inch from the rim.
8Break the 2 remaining whole Oreo cookies into rough halves and quarters, pressing them gently into the top surface as garnish along with the reserved crushed cookie pieces.
9Freeze the assembled McFlurries for 5-7 minutes to firm up slightly, achieving that signature soft-serve texture that holds its shape but remains spoonable.
