Starbucks Vanilla Bean Frappuccino (Printable)

Create a creamy vanilla bean blended drink inspired by Starbucks, ready in 5 minutes with simple ingredients you likely have at home.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 1 cup whole milk (or any milk of choice)

02 - 1 cup ice cubes

03 - 3 tablespoons vanilla bean ice cream

04 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

06 - Whipped cream, for serving (optional)

01 - Combine milk, ice cubes, vanilla bean ice cream, sugar, and vanilla extract in a blender

02 - Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy texture is achieved

03 - Taste the blended mixture and add more sugar if desired for sweetness preference

04 - Pour into two tall glasses and top with whipped cream if desired

01 -

It comes together in literally five minutes, which is faster than driving to Starbucks and waiting in line
The combination of vanilla ice cream AND vanilla extract creates that intense vanilla flavor you cant quite get from syrups alone

02 -

Blend on high speed long enough to completely crush the ice or you will end up with chunky texture instead of that silky Starbucks consistency
These melt faster than you expect, so serve immediately and do not let them sit on the counter

03 -

Start your blender on low speed to break up the ice before ramping to high, this prevents ice from getting stuck under the blades
If you do not have vanilla bean ice cream, vanilla frozen yogurt works surprisingly well and adds a slight tang
