Starbucks Secret Menu
Did you know about the Starbucks Secret Menu items? It's a collection of unofficial secret drink recipes that are not listed in the official regular menu items but can be made by request at most Starbucks locations. Customers or baristas usually create these secret menu drinks and are often inspired by popular flavors or seasonal ingredients. In addition to the Oreo, there is also a Cookies and Cream frappuccino on the Starbucks secret frappuccino menu. The Cookies and Cream Frappuccino is made by blending java chips into a White Chocolate Creme Frappuccino and topped with whipped cream.
Frequently Asked Questions
A Starbucks Oreo Frappuccino typically contains a blend of ice, milk, coffee, mocha sauce, vanilla syrup, and Oreo cookie pieces. It is topped with whipped cream and more Oreo cookie pieces.
To order an Oreo Frappuccino at Starbucks, ask for a Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino with white mocha sauce instead of regular mocha sauce. Ask the barista to add extra Oreo cookie crumbles and whipped cream on top.
A Frappuccino is a trademarked drink from Starbucks made with ice, milk, coffee, and other flavorings, blended together to create a smooth and creamy texture. A frappe, on the other hand, is a similar drink that originated in Greece and is made with instant coffee, water, sugar, and milk, blended together with ice to create a frothy texture. While both drinks are cold and refreshing, they have slightly different ingredients and preparation methods.
Variations
- Vegan- substitute the ice cream with a non-dairy alternative and use coconut milk and coconut whipped cream for garnish.
- Lighter version- use almond milk instead of heavy cream and reduce the amount of ice cream and use Oreo thins.
- Boozy version- Add a splash of Baileys or Kahlua for an adult version of this sweet treat.
Expert Tips
- Choose high-quality ice cream, chocolate chips, and coffee to elevate your homemade Oreo Frappuccino. Ingredients do matter for the best-tasting treat!
- It's important to have all the ingredients ready to go before you start. That way, you can prevent the ice and ice cream from melting and making your drink watery.
- If you don't have an espresso maker, you can just leave out the espresso or use 1 teaspoon of espresso powder dissolved in ¼ cup of water instead. Or, if you prefer, you can swap it out for ¼ cup of strong, cooled coffee or decaf.
- Here's a little hack: if you don't have any chocolate sauce on hand, you can always melt a couple of tablespoons of chocolate chips in the microwave and add a drop or two of corn syrup to make a quick garnish for your frappuccino.
- This recipe makes a pretty large frappuccino, so if you're not looking for such a decadent treat, you can always split it into two servings for smaller portions. Enjoy!
