Instructions

Separate and crush Oreos: Carefully separate the Oreo cookies, setting the creamy filling aside in a bowl, and crush the chocolate wafer parts into fine crumbs.
Heat milk and cream: In a medium saucepan, pour in the whole milk and heavy cream; set the heat to medium-low, stirring occasionally for about 5-7 minutes until warm but not boiling.
Add cocoa powder and sugar: Whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder and granulated sugar vigorously for around 2-3 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
Melt chocolate chips: Incorporate the semi-sweet chocolate chips into your warm cocoa mixture, stirring continuously for about 2 minutes until fully melted and smooth.
Mix in Oreo crumbs and filling: Stir in the crushed Oreo cookie crumbs along with the reserved cream filling, mixing well to distribute the cookies evenly for another minute.
Finish and serve: Remove from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract, then pour the Oreo Hot Chocolate into mugs.
Garnish: Top with whipped cream, drizzle chocolate syrup over the whipped cream, and garnish each mug with a whole Oreo cookie for a decorative touch.

Notes

Use full-fat milk and heavy cream for the creamiest texture.
Adjust sugar amount based on your preferred sweetness.
The chocolate chips add more depth but can be omitted if you prefer a lighter drink.
If you want a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or reduce the quantity.
For a vegan version, substitute dairy ingredients with plant-based alternatives.
