Vanilla Bean Frappuccino (Print View)

Creamy blended beverage with real vanilla bean and smooth, frosty texture. Refreshing coffeehouse-style drink.

# Ingredient List:

01 - 1 cup whole milk (or substitute with oat or almond milk for non-dairy)

02 - 1/2 cup heavy cream

03 - 3 tbsp granulated sugar

04 - 1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped (or 2 tsp pure vanilla extract)

05 - 2 cups ice cubes

06 - Whipped cream

07 - White chocolate shavings

01 - In a blender, combine milk, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla bean seeds (or vanilla extract).

02 - Add the ice cubes. Blend on high speed until smooth and frothy.

03 - Taste and adjust sweetness or vanilla as desired.

04 - Pour into two tall glasses. Top with whipped cream and white chocolate shavings if desired. Serve immediately.

01 -

You can make these in under five minutes with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.
The real vanilla bean creates this fragrant, speckled beauty that coffee shop drinks just cant match.

02 -

A powerful blender makes all the difference here, so if yours struggles with ice, you might need to blend in smaller batches.
If you have time to let the vanilla bean steep in the milk for thirty minutes before blending, the flavor becomes exponentially more intense.

03 -

If your vanilla bean is dried out, soften it by soaking it in warm milk for ten minutes before scraping.
For the smoothest texture, blend the liquid ingredients first, then add ice gradually while the blender is running.
