Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, washed and hulled
Dairy
- 1 cup milk or cream (full-fat milk, heavy cream, or dairy-free alternatives like almond, oat, or coconut milk)
Others
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons sweetener of choice (sugar, honey, syrup, stevia, or sugar substitute)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Topping
- Whipped cream
- Fresh strawberry slices
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and hull fresh strawberries. No need to thaw if using frozen, as this adds to the icy texture.
- Combine Ingredients: Add strawberries, milk or cream, ice cubes, sweetener, and vanilla extract to a blender.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until creamy and thick, with no large ice or strawberry chunks remaining.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the frappuccino and add more sweetener or milk if desired, then blend briefly again.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pour into a glass and optionally top with whipped cream or fresh strawberry slices.
Notes
- Use a mix of fresh and frozen strawberries for a colder, thicker drink.
- Pre-chill glasses in the freezer to keep the frappuccino icy longer.
- Start with less sweetener and add gradually to maintain natural strawberry flavor.
- Opt for pure vanilla extract instead of imitation for better flavor.
- Full-fat milk or heavy cream enhances the creamy, café-style texture.
