Total Time: 5 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup Oreo cookie crumbs
- 1/4 cup mint chocolate syrup
Instructions
- Remove the vanilla ice cream from the freezer and let it soften for 2-3 minutes at room temperature to make it easier to blend.
- Place the softened vanilla ice cream into a blender or food processor.
- Pour the milk into the blender to help create a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Add the mint chocolate syrup to the mixture, which will give the McFlurry its signature green color and refreshing mint flavor.
- Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- Add the Oreo cookie crumbs to the blender, reserving a small amount for topping.
- Blend the ingredients on medium speed for 30-45 seconds until smooth and well combined, but not completely liquid.
- Stop blending when the mixture is thick and creamy with small cookie pieces distributed throughout.
- Pour the mixture into two chilled serving glasses or cups.
- Sprinkle the reserved Oreo cookie crumbs on top as a garnish.
- Serve immediately to maintain the thick, cold consistency of the McFlurry.
Tips
- Temperature is key: Let your ice cream soften just slightly to ensure smooth blending, but not too much that it becomes runny.
- Use a powerful blender to get that signature McFlurry texture - quick pulses are better than long blends.
- Chill your serving glasses beforehand to keep the McFlurry colder for longer.
- For extra mint intensity, use high-quality mint chocolate syrup.
- Crush Oreo cookies just before adding to maintain some texture in your McFlurry.
- Serve immediately after preparation to enjoy the perfect thick and creamy consistency.
- For a fun twist, experiment with different Oreo flavors or add a splash of peppermint extract.
