Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup Vanilla Bean Ice Cream or 2 tsp Vanilla Bean Powder
  • 1 cup Milk or Dairy Alternative (almond, oat, or coconut milk)
  • 1 cup Crushed Ice

Flavoring

  • 3–4 tbsp Blue Raspberry Syrup

Optional

  • Sweetener to taste (honey, sugar, or preferred sweetener)
  • Whipped Cream for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all required ingredients including vanilla bean ice cream or powder, milk, blue raspberry syrup, crushed ice, and optional sweeteners. Measure everything carefully to maintain balanced flavors.
  2. Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the vanilla bean ice cream (or powder), milk, and crushed ice. Pulse the mixture until it is smooth, creamy, and thick enough to hold texture, but not too liquid.
  3. Create the Blue Raspberry Swirl: Pour a generous amount of blue raspberry syrup into the serving glass. Tilt and swirl the glass slowly to coat the interior sides evenly, forming a vivid blue swirl pattern.
  4. Pour and Layer: Slowly pour the blended vanilla bean frappuccino into the glass over the blue raspberry syrup swirl. Pour carefully to maintain the visible layers of creamy vanilla and blue raspberry colors.
  5. Add Final Touches: Top the frappuccino with a swirl of whipped cream if desired. Drizzle a little more blue raspberry syrup on top for extra color and intensified flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh crushed ice each time for the best icy and smooth texture.
  • If using vanilla bean powder, choose pure or high-quality vanilla bean extract for enhanced flavor.
  • Adjust blue raspberry syrup quantity to tailor the swirl’s tartness and color intensity to your liking.
  • Chill milk and ice cream prior to blending for a colder, more refreshing beverage.
  • Blend in short pulses to avoid over-mixing and maintain optimal frappuccino texture.
