Can you make Oreo Hot Chocolate without cocoa powder?

Yes, you can. Without cocoa powder, Oreo Hot Chocolate tastes more like a cookies and cream drink. Increasing melted chocolate or using chocolate syrup helps keep it rich and flavorful.

Do you need to remove the cream filling from Oreos?

No. The cream filling melts into the milk, helping thicken Oreo Hot Chocolate and enhancing the cookies and cream flavor.

Can Oreo Hot Chocolate be made with non-dairy milk?

Yes. Oat milk, almond milk, or soy milk work well. Oat milk is especially creamy and keeps the flavor balanced without overpowering the Oreos.

How do you make Oreo Hot Chocolate thicker or thinner?

To thicken it, simmer the drink a bit longer so the Oreos break down more. To thin it, add a small amount of warm milk and stir until smooth.
