Description
This Starbucks copycat Frappuccino recipe is icy, frothy, sweet, and milky. It’s faster and cheaper than the store-bought version and tastes just as good!
Ingredients
- 2 cups ice, crushed
- 1 cup espresso or strong coffee
- 3/4 cup milk, dairy, half and half, soy, oat, or almond
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or honey)
- whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- chocolate syrup or caramel sauce (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- In a blender, add espresso, crushed ice, milk, and sugar until well-blended.
- Pour and divide into two glasses. Top with whipped cream and chocolate or caramel sauce, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Make ahead instructions: If you want to prep your Frappuccino to make easily in the morning, combine the coffee, milk, and sugar the day before and store in an airtight container in the fridge. Then, blend with ice when it’s time to go.
How to store: Homemade Frappuccinos are best enjoyed freshly made, but you can store leftovers to enjoy later. If you have a strong blender, like a Vitamix or Blendtec, you can freeze the Frappuccino and re-blend it later. If you have a regular blender, put your leftover Frappuccino in the fridge and blend it with more ice later. You may also want to add more cream or flavor in this case as the first batch of ice will have melted and diluted the drink.
