What Is in a 7 Brew Cookies and Cream Shake?
Quick answer: The 7 Brew Cookies and Cream Shake is a milkshake flavored with cupcake, dark chocolate and white chocolate. It has no caffeine.
Cookies and cream is one of the most loved milkshake flavors. 7 Brew makes its version with three sauces instead of real cookies. Dark chocolate gives it the cookie taste, white chocolate adds the cream filling, and cupcake makes it sweet and bakery-like. It has 0 mg of caffeine. A Large shake has about 520 to 940 calories.
At home, you can add real chocolate sandwich cookies for crunch. Blend two cookies in, and crumble one on top. That makes it even closer to the classic flavor. The sauces still give it the smooth 7 Brew taste. It is a great treat after dinner.

Ingredients for the 7 Brew Cookies and Cream Shake Recipe
Here is everything you need for this 7 Brew Cookies and Cream Shake recipe. It makes one 16-ounce drink, which is close to a 7 Brew Small. Use coffee-shop style syrups and sauces, the same kind sold for lattes and Italian sodas. A pump from a store syrup bottle is about 1/4 ounce, and a tablespoon is about 1/2 ounce. Change the amounts after your first try to match your taste.
| Ingredient | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vanilla ice cream | 2 cups (3 big scoops) | Soften for 5 minutes |
| Milk | 1/2 cup (4 oz) | Whole milk is creamiest |
| Cupcake syrup | 1/4 oz (1/2 tbsp) | Bakery sweetness |
| Dark chocolate sauce | 1/2 oz (1 tbsp) | Cookie flavor |
| White chocolate sauce | 1/4 oz (1/2 tbsp) | Cream filling flavor |
| Chocolate sandwich cookies (optional) | 2 to 3 cookies | For real crunch |
Tip: Add the cookies at the very end and pulse the blender twice. You will get crunchy bits instead of gray mush.
Step by step
How to Make a 7 Brew Cookies and Cream Shake at Home
A shake comes together in one blender. Let the ice cream soften a little so it blends smoothly. Add the milk and syrups, then blend until thick. Do not over-blend, or it will get runny. It takes about five minutes.
- Soften the ice cream: Let 2 cups of vanilla ice cream sit out for 5 minutes.
- Add everything to the blender: Add the ice cream, 1/2 cup milk and the cupcake syrup, dark chocolate sauce and white chocolate sauce.
- Blend: Blend for 20 to 30 seconds until thick and smooth.
- Top it: Pour into a cup and add whipped cream and a drizzle.
Keep the shake thick by using cold ice cream and little milk. Top with whipped cream and crushed cookies. A drizzle of dark chocolate looks great inside the cup. For a coffee twist, add one shot of espresso. That makes a cookies and cream mocha shake.
