- 1 cup vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy cream, chilled

Instructions
- Prepare the Frappuccino Base: In a blender, combine vanilla ice cream, whole milk, fresh strawberries, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy to create a perfectly blended and rich frappuccino base.
- Make the Whipped Cream: In a large bowl, use a mixer to whip the chilled heavy cream along with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, achieving a thick and airy whipped cream topping.
- Assemble the Frappuccino: Pour the blended frappuccino base into tall glasses, filling them generously. Then add a generous dollop of the freshly made whipped cream on top.
- Decorate: Drizzle strawberry syrup over the whipped cream to add extra sweetness and visual appeal, then garnish with fresh strawberry slices for a vibrant and fresh finish.
- Serve: Serve immediately to enjoy the frappuccino at its best—refreshing, creamy, and delicious.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, substitute milk and heavy cream with almond or coconut milk and use dairy-free ice cream.
- Adjust the sugar amount based on the sweetness of your strawberries and personal preference.
- Use ice cubes for a thicker consistency if desired.
- Serve immediately as the frappuccino may separate if left standing for too long.
