How to Make It
1. Sweeten the Strawberries
Sprinkle sugar over the sliced strawberries and let them sit for 5 minutes. This helps bring out their natural juices for more flavor.
2. Blend the Strawberries
Add the sweetened strawberries to the blender and blend until smooth.
3. Add the Milk, Vanilla, and Ice
Pour in the milk, vanilla extract, and ice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
4. Blend Until Creamy
Blend everything together until the mixture is smooth, thick, and frosty.
5. Pour & Top with Whipped Cream
Pour the frappuccino into a tall glass and swirl whipped cream on top. Add fresh strawberry slices for garnish.
Leftovers & Storage
This drink is best enjoyed right away! If you have extra, store it in the fridge for a couple of hours, but it may separate. Just stir or re-blend with a little ice before drinking.
