# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • This recipe turns your kitchen into a coffee shop, but with two scoops of extra indulgence.
  • It quickly became my go-to upgrade because that silky, cookies-and-cream layer is pure happiness in a glass.
02 -
  • Once, I rushed blending the cookies and ended up with chunky bits clogging my straw—blend well for silky sipping.
  • Drizzling chocolate syrup inside the glass before the coffee really does make it feel coffee-shop fancy (plus, more chocolate never hurts).
03 -
  • Letting the milk and cream sit out a few minutes before blending makes for a silkier result (cold ingredients tend to resist mixing).
  • Layering the milk slowly gives you those beautiful swirls—pour too fast, and you’ll lose the effect.
