Ingredients
Scale
Fresh Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped (237 ml)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (118 ml)
- 1/2 cup milk of your choice (whole milk, almond milk, oat milk) (118 ml)
- 1 cup ice cubes (237 ml)
Sweeteners and Flavoring:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (59 ml)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 ml)
Garnish:
- Whipped cream
- Fresh strawberries, sliced
- White chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the strawberry base by combining ripe strawberries, milk, heavy cream, ice cubes, sugar, and vanilla extract in a powerful blender. Pulse until the mixture becomes smooth and homogeneous, approximately 45-60 seconds.
- Enhance the flavor profile by incorporating strawberry jam, vanilla ice cream, and a drizzle of honey. Blend the additional ingredients thoroughly to create a rich, creamy consistency.
- Select chilled glasses and carefully pour the frappuccino mixture, ensuring an even distribution and leaving slight room at the top for garnishing.
- Crown the beverage with a generous dollop of whipped cream, strategically arranging fresh strawberry slices on top for visual appeal and added freshness.
- Elevate the presentation by sprinkling delicate white chocolate shavings or colorful decorative sprinkles over the whipped cream layer.
- Serve the frappuccino immediately while cold, allowing guests to enjoy the vibrant strawberry flavors and luxurious texture at peak freshness.
Notes
- Freeze fresh strawberries beforehand for an extra thick and frosty texture without diluting the drink’s flavor.
- Swap dairy milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk to create a vegan-friendly version that’s equally creamy and delicious.
- Reduce sugar content by using stevia or monk fruit sweetener for a lower-calorie, diabetic-friendly alternative without compromising taste.
- Prep and freeze strawberry puree in ice cube trays for quick blending and consistent strawberry intensity in future frappuccinos.
