Ingredients
1 cup milk (whole, almond, oat, or preferred choice)
1 cup ice
1/2 pint vanilla bean ice cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste for a richer flavor)
1 tablespoon sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Caramel drizzle or cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions
Prepare your ingredients: Measure out all ingredients for easy blending. For an extra refreshing drink, chill your serving glass in the freezer for a few minutes.
Blend the base: In a high-speed blender, combine milk, ice, vanilla bean ice cream, vanilla extract, and sugar (if using).
Blend until smooth: Process on high speed until you achieve a creamy, frothy consistency. Adjust the thickness by adding more ice for a frostier texture or more milk for a thinner drink.
Serve and top: Pour the frappuccino into the chilled glass. If desired, top with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Enjoy immediately: Grab a straw and savor your homemade Vanilla Bean Frappuccino!
Notes
Sweetness Adjustment: Reduce or increase sugar to taste. Using vanilla bean paste may provide enough natural sweetness.
Dairy-Free Option: Use almond, oat, or coconut milk and dairy-free vanilla ice cream for a vegan-friendly version.
Extra Flavor: Enhance with a dash of nutmeg, cocoa powder, or a splash of flavored syrup.
Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but you can freeze leftovers and re-blend before serving.
