Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole milk (237 milliliters)
- 2 scoops vanilla bean ice cream
- 1/2 cup ice cubes (118 milliliters)
- 1/4 cup water (59 milliliters)
- 2 tablespoons blue raspberry syrup
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Toppings:
- Whipped cream
- Blue sugar crystals
Instructions
- Craft a vivid blue raspberry syrup by simmering the mixture in a small saucepan over low heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring intermittently until it reaches a slightly viscous consistency.
- Remove syrup from heat and allow it to cool completely at room temperature, ensuring a smooth texture.
- Prepare the frappuccino base by combining chilled milk, creamy vanilla bean ice cream, and frosty ice cubes in a high-powered blender.
- Pulse the blender contents on high speed until the mixture transforms into a silky, uniform beverage with no visible ice chunks.
- Artfully coat the interior of a tall serving glass with the cooled blue raspberry syrup, creating elegant, swirling streaks along the glass walls.
- Gently cascade the blended vanilla bean mixture into the prepared glass, preserving the decorative syrup design.
- Crown the frappuccino with a lavish spiral of whipped cream, extending slightly above the glass rim.
- Finish the creation by delicately sprinkling vibrant blue sugar crystals across the whipped cream summit, adding a playful and eye-catching element.
Notes
- Customize sweetness by adjusting sugar to personal taste preferences.
- For dairy-free version, swap milk and ice cream with almond or coconut alternatives.
- Chill glasses beforehand to keep frappuccino extra cold and prevent rapid melting.
- Create homemade blue raspberry syrup using fresh raspberries and natural blue food coloring for a more authentic flavor profile.
