About the recipe

A simple mix of blended ice, ice cream, milk, sugar and vanilla flavor combined together makes a wonderful frothy frappe.

This recipe is almost a replica of Starbucks style frappuccino with a vanilla touch to the drink. There are many flavours in the Starbucks cafeteria and would love to try out different flavors and also try to share the replica of making those drinks easily at home.

They can easily cost us a lot if we step into those stores and try to sip any coffee flavor regularly but having simple ingredients at home can save some bucks and lessen the amount spent on those drinks.

During the pandemics and lockdowns, having a basic idea of making our favourite drinks can help us to enjoy our refreshing drinks without the need to miss these stores when closed.

There are some secret ingredients that are added and can sometimes be difficult to find but I am sure homemade drinks with easy ingredients can always be fresh as well as can have good taste too with slight variations.

Here, I am trying to use all the ingredients that are most commonly used to make the Starbucks vanilla bean frappuccino copycat version of the recipe.

There are a few ingredients one can skip if not handy but the ingredients I am using here can easily be found in grocery stores.

Ingredients

Vanilla ice cream: To get the vanilla flavour, using this ice cream flavour is a good option as the ice cream has a creamy taste and is a perfect choice for this recipe.

milk: To get a drink kind of consistency, adding milk to the drink frappe gives a good texture and consistency. Using pasteurized whole milk is preferable to get a creamy texture.

For a healthy option, low-fat milk is preferable but make sure to boil the milk well and pasteurize it properly.

sugar: To get a sweet taste, adding sugar or any sweetener makes the frappuccino delicious and yummy.

If one has a creme base, just skip the sugar and add only the base to get a sweet flavor as well as a perfect texture to the drink.

vanilla extract: I am using a liquid form of vanilla extract but vanilla bean powder too can be a good choice to get that kind of flavour.

ice cubes: To make a chilled drink, add some ice cubes and enjoy the cold drink. Always have some ice cubes ready to make any refreshing drinks, juices or milkshakes as the drinks turn out chilled and taste well with crushed ice in them.

Step by step procedure

• add vanilla ice cream to a blending jar and make sure to add frozen ice cream take it from the freezer only before making the drink so that it does not melt and retains its fresh flavors.
• Now, add some ice cubes to make the drink chilled.
• Also, add milk and make sure to add pasteurized milk or just boil the milk and chill it before adding.
• add sugar or any sweetener to give a sweet flavour.

Variations

In addition to the above-mentioned ingredients adding a creme base is a good choice to make Starbucks style frappe recipes as they hold the milk and other ingredients together without separating from one another.

It also adds sweetness to the drink without the need to add some sugar. If adding creme base just skip the sugar and the drink gives a sweet flavor because of the base.

Recipe

Storage

These drinks do not taste good when stored and can become poisonous if stored and consumed. Therefore, make them fresh and consume fresh and chilled to experience a refreshing flavour.

Just chill the vanilla frappuccino for a few hours to have a chilled drink but do not store the drink for days in the refrigerator as it can spoil easily.

Tips

Along with some whipping cream, drizzle any chocolate flavour or drizzle some choco chips or top it with any favourite ice cream to add more deliciousness to the frappuccino.
