Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Vanilla Ice Cream: Use a good-quality vanilla ice cream for the best flavor. If you’re dairy-free, there are great plant-based options like almond or coconut ice cream.
Milk: Whole milk gives a creamy texture, but you can use any milk, including almond, soy, or oat milk for a lighter version. Adjust the amount based on how thick or thin you like your McFlurry.
Oreo Cookies: While Oreos are classic, you can swap them for other cookies, like chocolate chip or even fudge-striped cookies, to mix things up!
Whipped Cream: If you want a bit of extra indulgence, go for real whipped cream. You can also use a store-bought version or whipped topping if you’re short on time.
How Do You Blend to the Perfect Consistency?
Blending the ice cream and milk is crucial for getting the right McFlurry texture. Here’s how to get it just right:
- Start with slightly softened ice cream; this makes it easier to blend.
- Add the milk gradually. Start with a little, then add more if you want it thinner. Use the pulse button for control!
- Stop blending when it reaches a creamy consistency—you can always mix in more cookies later.

Step-by-Step Instructions:
