Recipe FAQs
Yes! Oreo cookies are vegan, so you just need to use your favorite dairy-free or non-dairy ice cream, along with your favorite non-dairy milk.
Milkshakes are best enjoyed right after they are made. However, without any additional toppings, you can place the milkshake into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for one or two days.
