Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup vanilla bean ice cream (slightly softened)
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 3 tbsp blue raspberry syrup (adjust to taste)
  • Optional: whipped cream for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients—vanilla bean ice cream, milk, ice cubes, and blue raspberry syrup. Make sure your ice cream is slightly softened for easy blending, and measure out the syrup to control sweetness.
  2. Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the vanilla bean ice cream, milk, and ice cubes. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and frothy, with no large ice chunks remaining. This creates the creamy frappuccino texture at the heart of the drink.
  3. Add the Blue Raspberry Swirl: Pour a generous amount of blue raspberry syrup into your glass, swirling it around the sides. Then, pour the blended vanilla frappuccino slowly into the glass, allowing the syrup to create a stunning ripple effect without mixing completely.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Top with a dollop of whipped cream if desired, then drizzle a little more blue raspberry syrup on top for extra color and flavor. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your colorful, delicious creation!

Notes

  • Use high-quality vanilla bean ice cream for authentic flavor.
  • Add ice gradually to achieve desired thickness without watering down.
  • Pre-chill your glass to keep the frappuccino colder longer.
  • Pour the blue raspberry syrup slowly along the glass edges for a beautiful swirl pattern.
  • Avoid over-blending to keep a fluffy, thick texture without becoming too liquid.
