Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla Bean Paste (or 1 fresh vanilla bean) High-quality vanilla bean paste is preferred for intense flavor.
  • 2 cups Milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat) Chilled milk enhances the drink's refreshing quality.
  • 2 cups Ice cubes Use ice to achieve the frappuccino's signature texture.
  • 1 cup Whipped cream Optional but highly recommended for topping.
  • 1 tbsp Heavy cream or coconut cream For extra creaminess.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by adding the milk, vanilla bean paste (or the seeds scraped from a fresh vanilla bean), and ice cubes into your blender.
  2. Drizzle in a splash of heavy or coconut cream, then blend until everything is pureed into a smooth, silky texture.
  3. Pour your frappuccino into a tall glass, add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top, and savor every delightful sip.

Notes

For maximum flavor, chill your milk before blending. Adjust sweetness or add a tad more vanilla to taste. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, though it’s best enjoyed fresh.
