    MOO Shakes - Cookies and Cream Milkshakes decorated with Chocolate Ganache Cow Spots

    Why You’ll Love This Recipe

    If you love flavored coffee, you already know that COFFEE-MATE® Liquid Coffee Creamer is a game-changer. But have you ever used it to flavor a milkshake?

    By using the Cookies & Cream flavor, you add a deep, chocolatey cookie profile to a classic vanilla base without needing a dozen extra ingredients. Top it all off with a generous dollop of Reddi-wip® Original Whipped Topping—made with real cream—for the perfect finishing touch.

    🎨 Get Creative with Flavors

    While I used Cookies & Cream for that classic "cow" vibe, you can swap in other favorites to create your own signature shake:

    • French Vanilla or Italian Sweet Cream (for a silky, classic taste)
    • Coconut Caramel Latte (for a tropical twist)
    • Toasted Marshmallow Mocha (for a s'mores feel)

    What You'll Need

    • COFFEE-MATE® Cookies & Cream Liquid Coffee Creamer
    • Reddi-wip® Original Whipped Topping
    • Vanilla Ice Cream
    • Chocolate Ganache (for the spots)
    • Mason jars and cow-print straws
    MOO Shakes - Cookies & Cream Milkshakes served in mason jars decorated with chocolate ganache spots are served with fun cow spot paper straws.

    How to Make "Cow Spotted" Glasses

    The secret to the "MOO" in these MOOShakes is the chocolate ganache.

    1. Prep the Ganache: Use a thick chocolate ganache or hot fudge sauce.
    2. Paint the Spots: Using a small spoon or a food-safe brush, "paint" irregular circles and blobs on the inside of your mason jar.
    3. Chill: Pop the glasses in the freezer for 5–10 minutes to set the spots before pouring in your milkshake. This ensures your "spots" stay put! 

    Watch the video tutorial below to see just how easy it is to "paint" your glasses and whip up these treats in minutes!

      A friend bought me some cow sprinkles. They would be the absolute perfect topping for these MOOshakes! All I need now is an excuse to make them!
