Variations

I sometimes replace vanilla ice cream with frozen Greek yogurt when I want a lighter version. Almond milk or oat milk also work well for a dairy-free option. When I run out of Oreo cookies, I use chocolate sandwich cookies or even chocolate chip cookies for a slightly different flavor. For extra richness, I occasionally drizzle chocolate syrup on top before serving.

storage/reheating

I prefer serving this McFlurry immediately because the texture is best when freshly blended. If I need to store leftovers, I keep them in the freezer in an airtight container for up to one day. Before serving again, I let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes and stir it well to soften the texture. I do not recommend reheating since this dessert is meant to stay cold and creamy.

FAQs

Can I make this McFlurry without a blender?

I can make it without a blender by softening the ice cream slightly and mixing everything together with a spoon or hand mixer.

How do I make the McFlurry thicker?

I usually reduce the amount of milk or add extra ice cream to create a thicker consistency.

I make a vegan version by using dairy-free vanilla ice cream and oat or almond milk.
