Enjoy a Frappuccino at home—a blended iced coffee drink with a smooth, creamy texture. The secret is a simple “base” that keeps it from separating.
Basic Frappuccino
- 1 cup ice
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup chilled strong coffee (or 1–2 espresso shots)
- 2–3 tbsp simple syrup (or a mix of sugar and honey)
- Blend all ingredients until smooth.
- Adjust sweetness to taste.
- Top with whipped cream if desired.
Variations
- Mocha: Add cocoa powder and chocolate syrup.
- Caramel: Add caramel sauce and drizzle on top.
- Vanilla Cream: Omit coffee and add vanilla extract.
FAQ
Why does my Frappuccino have a watery texture?
Use more ice or a creamier milk, and make sure the coffee is well chilled before blending.
Editor’s note: Adding a small pinch of xanthan gum (optional) can help create a rich, café-style creaminess.
