Ingredients

Scale

  1. For the Frappuccino Base

    • 1 cup whole milk (or substitute with plant-based milk for a dairy-free option)
    • 2 scoops vanilla bean ice cream
    • 1/2 cup ice cubes
    • 1 tbsp sugar (optional, adjust to taste)

    For the Blue Raspberry Swirl

    • 2 tbsp blue raspberry syrup
    • 1/4 cup water

    Toppings

    1. Whipped cream
  2. Blue sugar crystals (optional, for decoration)

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Blue Raspberry Swirl

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the blue raspberry syrup and water.
  2. Heat gently over low heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  3. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely.

Step 2: Blend the Frappuccino

  1. In a blender, add the milk, vanilla bean ice cream, ice cubes, and sugar (if using).
  2. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Assemble the Drink

  1. Drizzle the cooled blue raspberry syrup around the inside of a tall glass.
  2. Pour the vanilla bean frappuccino mixture into the prepared glass.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

  1. Top the drink with a generous swirl of whipped cream.
  2. Sprinkle blue sugar crystals on top for a fun, colorful finish.

Notes

  • Customize the Sweetness: Adjust the sugar in the frappuccino base to your preference or skip it altogether.
  • Add More Blue Raspberry Flavor: For a tangier kick, mix a small amount of blue raspberry syrup directly into the frappuccino base before blending.
  • Make it Dairy-Free: Use almond milk or oat milk and a dairy-free vanilla ice cream alternative.
