Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk (whole or any preferred type)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 3 scoops vanilla ice cream
Cookies and Sweet Additions:
- 8 chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos), crushed
- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
Topping:
- Whipped cream, for topping
- Extra crushed cookies, for garnish
Instructions
- In a high-powered blender, combine chilled brewed coffee, milk, vanilla ice cream, crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, ice cubes, and chocolate syrup.
- Pulse the mixture for 30-45 seconds until a smooth, velvety consistency is achieved, ensuring no large cookie chunks remain.
- Carefully transfer the frappuccino into tall chilled glasses, filling them about three-quarters full.
- Crown each glass with a luxurious swirl of whipped cream, creating a billowing peak.
- Delicately sprinkle additional crushed cookies over the whipped cream topping for added crunch and visual appeal.
- Insert a wide-mouth straw and serve immediately to preserve the drink’s optimal temperature and texture.
Notes
- Chill your glasses beforehand to keep the frappuccino cold and maintain its creamy texture longer.
- Use strong cold brew or espresso for a more robust coffee flavor that doesn’t get diluted by ice.
- Experiment with different cookie types like chocolate sandwich cookies or graham crackers for unique flavor variations.
- For a lighter version, swap whole milk with almond or oat milk and use low-fat vanilla frozen yogurt instead of ice cream.
