Pro tips
- Use cold milk, chilled bananas, and cold chocolate ice cream. Using super cold ingredients helps maintain the milkshake's creamy texture and prevents it from melting too quickly. You can even freeze the bananas beforehand for an extra thick and cold milkshake.
- Start by blending the bananas, ice cream, and milk. Finally, pulse in the Oreos until they're just broken up, leaving some larger chunks for texture. This prevents the Oreos from becoming too pulverized.
- Top the chocolate banana milkshake with whipped cream! It makes it extra special and extra delish!!
