Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 ripe banana
- 240 milliliters (1 cup) milk
- 60 milliliters (1/4 cup) brewed coffee or 1 espresso shot
- 1 cup ice cubes
Coffee and Flavor Enhancers:
- 12 tablespoons caramel sauce
- 12 tablespoons chocolate syrup
Toppings:
- Whipped cream
- Caramel drizzle
- Chocolate drizzle
- Chocolate shavings
- Banana slices
Instructions
- Prepare the frozen banana beforehand by slicing and freezing for optimal texture and thickness in the blender.
- Combine frozen banana, milk, chilled coffee, caramel sauce, chocolate syrup, and ice cubes in a high-powered blender at medium-high speed for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth and frothy.
- Pause blending and taste the mixture, adjusting sweetness levels by incrementally adding more caramel or chocolate syrup as preferred, then quickly pulse to incorporate additional ingredients.
- Select a tall chilled glass for serving, carefully pouring the blended frappuccino to prevent splashing and maintain smooth consistency.
- Create an indulgent topping by generously layering whipped cream across the surface of the drink, ensuring full coverage.
- Enhance visual appeal and flavor profile by artfully drizzling additional caramel and chocolate syrups in zigzag or circular patterns over the whipped cream.
- Optional final garnish includes sprinkling chocolate shavings or arranging fresh banana slices strategically on top of the whipped cream for extra texture and decorative presentation.
Notes
- Opt for frozen ripe bananas to create an ultra-creamy, naturally sweet base without adding extra sugar.
- Use cold brew or chilled espresso for a smoother, less bitter coffee flavor that blends perfectly with chocolate and caramel.
- Swap dairy milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk to make this frappuccino vegan and dairy-free friendly.
- For a protein boost, add a scoop of vanilla protein powder or a tablespoon of almond butter during blending.
