Ingredients
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
- 1 cup milk (any variety)
- 2 tablespoons sugar or sweetener (adjust to taste)
- 2 cups ice
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Brew Coffee: Brew your favorite strong coffee and allow it to cool completely to avoid melting the ice too quickly in later steps.
- Mix Coffee and Vanilla: In a blender, combine the cooled coffee, vanilla bean paste, and sugar. Blend briefly to mix well, then taste and adjust the sweetness as desired.
- Add Milk: Pour the milk into the blender with the coffee mixture and blend until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Blend With Ice: Add the ice to the blender and blend until you achieve a thick, slushy consistency perfect for a frappuccino texture.
- Serve: Pour the blended frappuccino into tall glasses and top with whipped cream if you like for an extra creamy touch. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, substitute milk with almond, oat, or soy milk.
- Adjust the amount of sugar or sweetener according to your taste preferences.
- Use freshly brewed strong coffee for the best flavor impact.
- Adding whipped cream is optional but adds richness and texture.
- To make it extra cold, chill the coffee beforehand in the refrigerator.
