Main Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, rinsed and hulled
- 1 cup milk or milk alternative (whole milk, almond milk, coconut milk, or oat milk)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons sugar or preferred sweetener (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Rinse and hull fresh strawberries thoroughly, then measure out the milk, sugar, and ice cubes so everything is ready to blend smoothly.
- Load the Blender: Add the strawberries, milk, ice cubes, sugar, and vanilla extract to your blender jar, layering in this order for optimum blending.
- Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid and blend on high speed for about 30-45 seconds, or until the mixture is thick, smooth, and frothy with no chunks remaining.
- Taste and Adjust: Give your frappuccino a quick taste test and add more sugar or milk if needed, then pulse briefly to combine any added ingredients.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the Strawberry Frappuccino into a tall glass, top with whipped cream if desired, and garnish with a fresh strawberry for a beautiful presentation.
Notes
- Freeze strawberries in advance to intensify flavor and avoid dilution.
- Use cold milk to help maintain a frosty texture without thinning the drink.
- Pulse the blender initially to break down the ice before blending on high speed for smoothness.
- Adjust the amount of ice cubes for your preferred consistency, thicker or more slushy.
- Enjoy your frappuccino fresh as it is best served immediately before it starts to melt.
