Instructions:
- Combine the frozen strawberries, ice, milk, vanilla ice cream, heavy cream, syrup, and one crushed graham cracker in a blender.
- Blend on high until smooth and creamy, ensuring no ice chunks remain.
- Optional: Swirl strawberry sauce along the inside walls of your serving glasses for extra flavor and presentation.
- Pour the blended mixture evenly into two glasses.
- Top generously with whipped cream.
- Garnish with the remaining crushed graham cracker and a drizzle of strawberry sauce.
- Serve immediately with a wide straw or dessert spoon.
Variations :
- Cheesecake Twist: Add 1 tablespoon of cheesecake-flavored pudding mix to intensify the dessert flavor.
- Dairy-Free Option: Substitute dairy with almond, oat, or coconut milk, and use a non-dairy ice cream.
- Low-Sugar Version: Use sugar-free syrup and omit the whipped topping.
- Extra Fruitiness: Add a handful of fresh strawberries along with the frozen ones for a fresher note.
- Chocolate Delight: Swap in chocolate syrup for a chocolate-strawberry shortcake fusion.
Tips :
- Use ripe, sweet frozen strawberries for maximum flavor—avoid underripe berries, which can taste sour.
- Chill your glasses ahead of time to keep the frappuccino frosty longer.
- For a thicker consistency, increase the ice or decrease the milk slightly.
- To mimic the Starbucks texture, use a powerful blender that can crush ice effortlessly.
- Don’t skip the garnish—crushed graham crackers and strawberry drizzle elevate both texture and appearance.
