Vanilla Bean Frappuccino (Print Version)

A creamy blended beverage with real vanilla bean, milk, and ice — ready in 5 minutes.

# What You Need:

01 - 1 cup whole milk or alternative milk

02 - 1 cup ice cubes

03 - 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream

04 - 1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped or 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

05 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, adjustable to taste

06 - Whipped cream for garnish

01 - Pour milk, ice cubes, vanilla ice cream, vanilla bean seeds or extract, and granulated sugar into blender container.

02 - Process mixture on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, approximately 30-60 seconds.

03 - Taste blended mixture and add additional sugar if desired. Blend briefly to incorporate.

04 - Divide frappuccino evenly between two tall glasses. Top with whipped cream if using and serve immediately.

01 -

Takes literally five minutes from start to finish, which is faster than driving to a coffee shop
Way cheaper than buying frappuccinos and you can customize the sweetness exactly how you like it

02 -

The drink separates really fast, so serve it immediately after blending or you will end up with a watery layer on top
If your blender struggles with the ice, add a splash more milk to help things move freely

03 -

Chill your glasses in the freezer for fifteen minutes before serving, which keeps the drink cold longer
If you have extra time, make ice cubes out of milk instead of water to prevent watering down as it melts
