Creamy, vanilla-laced, ice-blended luxo-frappe — tasty and extremely sip-able.
Starbucks Vanilla Bean Frappuccino
Ingredients:
- 2 cups ice (packed)
- 1 cup whole milk (or ¾ cup milk + ¼ cup heavy cream for more creaminess)
- 2–3 tbsp vanilla syrup (recipe below) or 2 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 3 tbsp vanilla bean powder or seeds (or 1 tbsp vanilla paste for specks) — adjust to taste
- Whipped cream for topping
Quick Vanilla Syrup (if you don’t have pre-made)
- 100 g sugar + 100 ml water, simmer until sugar dissolves. Off heat add 1 tsp vanilla extract or 1/2 vanilla bean scraped.
Mise En Place:
Tips
- For thicker frappuccino texture, use frozen milk cubes (freeze milk in tray) or add 1–2 tbsp heavy cream.
- Vanilla bean paste gives the flecks and that authentic “bean” look.
- If you want a coffee-kick, add a shot of espresso (affogato-style) or a splash of cold brew.
