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 let it cool completely to avoid melting the ice too quickly and diluting the frappuccino.
- Mix Coffee and Vanilla: In a blender, combine the cooled coffee, vanilla bean paste, and sugar. Blend until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
- Add Milk: Pour milk into the coffee mixture in the blender and blend again until smooth and creamy.
- Blend with Ice: Add ice cubes to the blender. Blend until the texture becomes a thick, slushy consistency, perfect for a frappuccino.
- Serve: Pour the frappuccino into tall glasses. Top with whipped cream if desired for an extra creamy finish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Use strong brewed coffee to ensure the coffee flavor shines through despite the ice and milk dilution.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of sugar or sweetener according to your preference.
- For a dairy-free version, use almond, soy, or oat milk.
- Vanilla bean paste provides a rich vanilla flavor and visually appealing specks of vanilla.
- To make it extra rich, add a splash of heavy cream instead of milk.
- Serve immediately for the best texture; the frappuccino will melt if left to sit.
