Ingredients
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream
- ½ cup strawberry puree (recipe below)
- 1 batch vanilla sweet cream (recipe below)
- 1 cup ice
- 2 ½ Tbsp mocha syrup (recipe below), divided
- Whipped cream, for topping
Strawberry Puree
- 8 large strawberries, hulled
- ½ Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 ½ Tbsp water
Mocha Syrup
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- ¾ cup strongly brewed coffee
- ⅛ tsp salt
Vanilla Sweet Cream
- ¾ cup 2% milk
- ¼ cup heavy cream 2
- 2 Tbsp vanilla simple syrup* (see notes for substitutions)
Instructions
- Put vanilla ice cream, ½ cup strawberry puree, vanilla sweet cream, and ice into a blender and blend until smooth.
- Spoon ¼ cup strawberry puree into the bottom of a tall glass. Pour frappuccino over it.
- Spoon 2 Tbsp mocha syrup over the frappuccino. Top with whipped cream and drizzle remaining mocha syrup over the top.
Vanilla Sweet Cream
- Put all ingredients in a mason jar or other airtight container and shake well to combine. Keep chilled until ready to use.
Strawberry Puree
- Put all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Pour puree into a bowl or glass.
Mocha Syrup
- Put all the ingredients in a saucepan and whisk together.
- Bring the mixture to a boil and once boiling, lower heat to a simmer. Let simmer for about 15 minutes to thicken.
- Pour the syrup into a heat-proof bowl or jar and place in fridge to cool completely. It should continue to thicken as it cools.
Notes
- This recipe makes enough for 1 grande Frappuccino. You’ll have enough mocha syrup for 3-4 Frappuccinos. You can easily double or triple the vanilla sweet cream and strawberry puree recipes to make more.
- If you can’t get fresh strawberries, you can use frozen.
- If you don’t want to make your own vanilla simple syrup, feel free to purchase. You can also use vanilla extract and plain simple syrup. In a pinch, you can use vanilla extract and confectioners’ or granulated sugar or you can simply purchase a vanilla coffee creamer.
