Frappuccino Ingredients
- 1 cup Ice
- 1 1/2 cups Milk
- 3 scoops Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1/8 tsp Vanilla Extract
Topping (Optional)
- Whipped Cream
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients you need for the Frappuccino. For best taste and texture, freeze the milk in an ice cube tray ahead of time to use frozen milk cubes. This helps prevent the drink from becoming watery once blended.
- Combine Ingredients in the Blender: Start by pouring the milk into the blender. Next, add sugar, vanilla extract, and the vanilla bean ice cream. Finally, add ice or the frozen milk cubes on top to ensure the ideal blending texture.
- Blend to Perfection: Secure the lid on your blender tightly. Blend the mixture on high speed for 30 to 45 seconds until the drink is completely smooth and creamy, with no icy chunks remaining. Using a high-powered blender like a Vitamix will help achieve the perfect consistency.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the freshly blended Vanilla Bean Frappuccino into a tall chilled glass. For an added treat, top with whipped cream and insert a straw to enjoy your refreshing homemade Frappuccino right away.
Notes
- Freezing milk before blending enhances the texture and prevents dilution.
- Adjust the sugar quantity to your taste preference.
- Use full-fat milk and high-quality vanilla bean ice cream for the creamiest result.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
- Optional whipped cream adds richness but can be omitted for a lighter drink.
