Ingredients
Scale
Coffee Base
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
- 2 tablespoons sugar or sweetener (adjust to taste)
Dairy
- 1 cup milk (any variety)
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Others
- 2 cups ice
Instructions
- Brew Coffee: Brew your favorite strong coffee and allow it to cool completely to avoid melting the ice prematurely.
- Mix Coffee and Flavor: In a blender, combine the cooled coffee, vanilla bean paste, and sugar. Blend until well incorporated and taste to adjust the sweetness as desired.
- Add Milk: Pour the milk into the blender and blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate Ice: Add the ice to the blender and blend until the drink reaches a slushy, frappuccino-like consistency.
- Serve: Pour the frappuccino into tall glasses. Optionally, top with whipped cream for extra indulgence, then serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Use strong brewed coffee to ensure the coffee flavor stands out despite the milk and ice.
- Vanilla bean paste provides an authentic flavor but vanilla extract can be used as a substitute.
- Sweetener amounts can be adjusted or replaced with sugar alternatives to suit dietary needs.
- Cold coffee is essential to prevent dilution and maintain the frappuccino texture.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and skip whipped cream or use a dairy-free version.
