Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Sweeteners:
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Flavoring:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine vanilla ice cream, whole milk, chopped strawberries, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract in a blender. Pulse until the mixture transforms into a silky, uniform consistency with no visible fruit chunks.
- Chill a mixing bowl and whisk or electric mixer attachment before whipping the heavy cream. Incorporate powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until the cream develops firm, sturdy peaks that hold their shape.
- Pour the blended strawberry base into a chilled tall glass, allowing it to settle evenly along the sides.
- Carefully layer the freshly whipped cream on top of the frappuccino base, creating a voluminous and elegant crown.
- Artfully drizzle strawberry syrup across the whipped cream surface, creating an appealing marbled pattern.
- Garnish the frappuccino with delicate, thinly sliced fresh strawberry pieces, strategically placed for visual appeal and added flavor.
- Serve immediately while the frappuccino maintains its optimal temperature and textural integrity, ensuring a refreshing and indulgent experience.
Notes
- Swap vanilla ice cream with dairy-free alternatives like coconut or almond milk ice cream for a vegan-friendly version.
- Use frozen strawberries to create a thicker, more chilled consistency and intensify the fruit flavor.
- Reduce sugar content by using stevia or monk fruit sweetener for a lower-calorie option.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves or chocolate shavings to elevate the presentation and add extra flavor complexity.
