- 1/2 cup milk (120 ml)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (120 ml)
- 1 cup ice cubes (240 ml)
Sweetener:

Instructions
- Prepare ingredients by washing strawberries thoroughly and removing stems, ensuring clean and fresh fruit for maximum flavor intensity.
- Combine strawberries, milk, heavy cream, and sugar in a high-powered blender, processing at high speed until ingredients transform into a smooth, vibrant crimson liquid.
- Gradually introduce ice cubes into the blender, pulsing repeatedly to create a velvety, frosty consistency without over-diluting the strawberry essence.

Notes
- Opt for ripe, sweet strawberries to enhance the natural flavor and create a more vibrant drink.
- Freeze strawberries beforehand for an extra thick and frosty texture without watering down the frappuccino.
- Use coconut milk or almond milk as dairy-free alternatives for those with lactose intolerance or following a vegan diet.
- Adjust sugar levels based on the sweetness of strawberries and personal preference, allowing for a customized taste experience.
