Instructions

Add 1/2 cup chilled cold brew coffee to a blender, followed by 2 cups vanilla ice cream.
Add 1/3 cup crushed cookies and 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20–30 seconds, just until thick and smooth. Avoid overblending.
Check consistency. Add 1 tablespoon milk at a time if too thick, or 1/4 cup additional ice cream if too thin.
Pour into a chilled 16-ounce glass and top with 2 tablespoons whipped cream and 1 tablespoon crushed cookie crumbs.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.

Tips

Use your favorite crunchy cookies for the best texture. To make ahead, prepare the base and keep chilled, then blend just before serving to maintain thickness.
