This Refreshing Strawberry Cream Frappuccino sounds like the perfect summer treat! Here’s a step-by-step guide to making it at home:
Strawberry Cream Frappuccino Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (hulled and washed)
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy, like almond or oat milk)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons sugar or honey (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup heavy cream (or whipped topping for garnish)
Instructions:
- Blend the Frappuccino Base:
- In a blender, combine the fresh strawberries, milk, ice cubes, sugar or honey, and vanilla extract.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk. If it’s too thin, add a few more ice cubes.
- Prepare the Cream Topping:
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. You can add a teaspoon of sugar or vanilla extract to sweeten it if desired. Alternatively, use store-bought whipped topping for convenience.
- Assemble the Frappuccino:
- Pour the blended strawberry mixture into a glass.
- Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream or whipped topping.
- For an extra touch, garnish with a fresh strawberry or a drizzle of strawberry syrup.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your homemade Strawberry Cream Frappuccino!
Tips:
- Frozen Strawberries: If fresh strawberries aren’t available, you can use frozen strawberries. Just reduce the amount of ice to avoid making it too icy.
- Customize Sweetness: Adjust the amount of sugar or honey based on your preference and the sweetness of the strawberries.
- Dairy-Free Option: Use non-dairy milk and coconut cream or a plant-based whipped topping for a vegan version.
