This sweet, rich, & decadent Caramel Stroopwafel Milkshake is outrageous. Stroopwafels are sweet thin little bites of wafer cookie heaven. Blend up this yummy milkshake for a creamy & crunchy snack or dessert and fall in love.
This recipe beats both the McDonald's McFlurry and the Chic-fil-a Caramel Crumble milkshake. It is buttery sweet with tiny bits of cookie wafers & 100% made for caramel lovers.
Miley could not wait for me to make this recipe after I thought about making it. Last summer her favorite recipe was my PLUM ICE CREAM recipe. This milkshake is probably her new favorite.

What are Stroopwafels?
Stroopwafels are wafer cookies that are crisp, buttery, and often filled with rich cinnamon and bourbon vanilla caramel. Stroopwafel literally translates into "syrup waffle".
If you have never had one you are surely going to want to find them fast so you can get your hands on them. Sometimes they are referred to as treacle waffles or caramel waffles.
The Netherlands is where the stroopwafel started. Similar to pizzelle cookies, they are makde on a hot cookie waffle iron. Before they cool and completely seal, they are lifted a bit open and filled with caramel syrup. They are then closed back up to cool and seal.
Where to Buy Stroopwafels
If you have never found these in the store, there are a few places we have found them. You can buy stroopwafels at Cost Plus, Wal-Mart, and Trader Joe's have them as well. If you do not find them in the stores you can try direct from DAELMANS link.
You can buy STROOPWAFELS at Amazon too
Ingredients for Caramel Stroopwafel Milkshake
Like most milkshakes, the recipe is not too difficult. In this case, my daughter is a bit addicted to stroopwafels so I wanted to create a milkshake where that was the star ingredient. So the flavors for the milkshake recipe naturally needed to include caramel, cinnamon, and of course, bits of the stroopwafels.
We added that to milk and vanilla ice cream for a thick milkshake recipe that we will be making many times. The cinnamon, caramel, and cookie flavors are a trifecta of deliciousness!
Here are the ingredients needed to make a Caramel Milkshake with Stroopwafel cookie wafers:
- Mini Stroopwafels - they work best for blending and crumbling on top but the regular ones are ok too.
- Vanilla Ice Cream - use a good quality ice cream, nothing lowfat or sugar-free.
- Whole Milk - for a thick & rich texture do not substitute with low-fat or skim.
- Cinnamon - a sprinkle intensifies the stroopwafel cinnamon flavor.
- Caramel Syrup - bold caramel flavor is the star of this milkshake.
- Whipped Cream - optional for topping.

How to Make a Caramel Stroopwafel Milkshake
For this recipe, we used the personal size capsule for our blender for each serving. I LOVE the Ninja and if you are in the market for a new blender, I highly recommend it. You will need a good blender for this.
Here are the easy steps to make this recipe:
- Add Ingredients to the Blender
- Blend
- Top & Serve
1 - Add Ingredients to the Blender
To a large blender or single serving capsule add the ice cream, milk, cinnamon, & caramel sauce. Break up 2 stroopwafel minis into 4 pieces each (or 1 large into 6 pieces). Add to other ingredients.
2 -Blend
The best thing about milkshakes (besides being so dang delicious) is you can customize them to make whatever your favorite flavor combinations are. So feel free to measure with your heart - extra caramel or cookies!
Seal the blender lid. Blend ingredients on medium-high speed until smooth.
3 - Top & Serve
Pour into a glass. Like my Coconut Milkshake, don't forget to top it with mounds of whipped cream.
Crunch up another mini stroopwafel and add bits to the top. Insert a straw & enjoy!
