Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1 tablespoon half and half
- 4 drops mint extract
- 2 drops green food coloring
Mix-ins & Topping
- 3 Oreo cookies
- 2 tablespoons whipped cream
Instructions
- Soften Ice Cream: Allow the vanilla ice cream to soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes. This will make it easier to blend and incorporate other ingredients smoothly.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the softened ice cream, half and half, mint extract, and green food coloring into a blender for a smooth mixture.
- Blend Mixture: Blend on medium speed for approximately 30 seconds until all ingredients are well combined and the ice cream has a creamy, minty green consistency.
- Add Oreo Cookies: Add the Oreo cookies to the blender and pulse a few times just enough to crumble the cookies into small pieces without fully pulverizing them.
- Serve McFlurry: Pour the blended mixture into a serving glass, spreading the Oreo bits evenly throughout the dessert.
- Top with Whipped Cream: Generously add 2 tablespoons of whipped cream on top as a finishing touch. Serve immediately to enjoy the creamy texture and cold refreshment.
Notes
- For best results, do not over-blend the Oreos to maintain some crunchy texture.
- Mint extract can be adjusted to taste—start with 4 drops and add more if you prefer a stronger mint flavor.
- Use high-quality vanilla ice cream for a richer taste.
- Chilling the glass before serving can help keep the McFlurry colder longer.
- This recipe makes one generous serving; double the ingredients for multiple servings.
