This Hot chocolate with Oreos is a family favorite-creamy, rich, and oh-so-delicious! It takes just 10 minutes to make and requires only 4 simple ingredients, making it far more affordable than buying it at a café.
Best of all, you can easily customize it to your liking, whether you prefer it sweeter or less sweet.
What kind of chocolate to use?
For this Oreo chocolate drink, I recommend using high quality semi-sweet or bittersweet dark chocolate instead of cocoa powder for a richer, smoother texture. You can use chocolate bars or chips-whichever you prefer.
What type of Oreo cookies are best for Oreo hot chocolate?
For Oreo hot chocolate, it's best to use classic Oreo cookies because their balanced chocolate flavor and creamy filling blend well into the drink.
You can also use dark chocolate Oreos for a richer chocolate flavor or mint Oreos if you enjoy a minty twist.
Though there are various types of Oreos available, not all flavors complement the richness of hot chocolate.
Key Ingredients
Semisweet chocolate or Bittersweet dark chocolate: I use semisweet chocolate. You can go for bittersweet dark chocolate for a deeper, more intense flavor. Both melt beautifully into the milk for a smooth texture.
Milk: Whole milk gives the best result, but you can easily substitute it with skim milk, almond milk, oat milk, or any other milk alternative you prefer.
Oreo cookies: These are the star ingredients. Finely crush them to mix into the milk, and save a few biscuits for garnish to add extra flair.
Sugar: I went with 1 tablespoon of sugar, and it was just the right amount for me, but feel free to tweak it to suit your taste! If you're using bittersweet chocolate, you might want to toss in a little extra sugar to balance out the flavor.
Instructions Step By Step
1. Prepare the cookies: Separate the cream from the Oreo cookies. Grind the cookies into fine crumbs using a blender, or crush them in a ziplock bag with a rolling pin
2. Warm the milk: In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until warm but not boiling.
3. Add ingredients: Stir in the Oreo cookie crumbs, Oreo cream, and shaved chocolate. Whisk continuously to ensure the chocolate melts smoothly and the cookies blend well with the milk.
4. Sweeten: Add sugar to taste and stir until dissolved. Make sure the mixture doesn't stick to the pan.
6. Serve: Pour the hot chocolate into 2 cups or mugs. Top with whipped cream, crushed Oreos, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for a café-style finish.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When reheating, add a splash of milk and stir continuously until it reaches a creamy texture again.
Helpful Tips
- Separate the cream from the Oreos, then grind or crush the cookies into crumbs. This will help the crumbs blend smoothly into the milk.
- Add the crushed cookies, cream, and shaved chocolate to warm, not boiling, milk. Whisk well until everything melts smoothly. If the milk is heating too quickly, remove it from the heat and let it cool down a bit before continuing.
- For extra richness consider adding a little heavy cream to your milk. This will make your hot chocolate even more indulgent.
