Ingredients
Scale
Frappuccino Base
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish
- Fresh strawberries, sliced
- Strawberry syrup
Instructions
- Prepare the Frappuccino Base: In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, whole milk, chopped fresh strawberries, ½ cup heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined.
- Make the Whipped Cream: In a large chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract using a hand mixer or whisk until stiff peaks form, creating a light and fluffy whipped cream topping.
- Assemble the Frappuccino: Pour the smooth frappuccino base into a tall glass, filling it nearly to the top with the creamy strawberry mixture.
- Decorate: Add a generous dollop of the freshly whipped cream on top of the frappuccino. Drizzle strawberry syrup over the whipped cream and garnish with fresh strawberry slices to enhance both flavor and presentation.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately for a refreshing, sweet, and creamy strawberry beverage that’s perfect as a dessert or a chilled treat on a warm day.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Adjust the sugar amount to your preferred sweetness level, especially if your strawberries are very sweet.
- For a thicker frappuccino, add more ice cream or use frozen strawberries instead of fresh.
- Whip the cream just until stiff peaks to avoid over-whipping and turning it into butter.
- Strawberry syrup can be store-bought or homemade; homemade adds a fresher taste.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor before the ice cream melts.
