Ingredients
Scale
Strawberries and Dairy:
- 1 cup (240 ml) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream
Sweeteners and Flavoring:
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
Ice:
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Purée ripe strawberries in a high-powered blender until completely smooth and vibrant red.
- Add chilled milk, velvety heavy cream, granulated sugar, pure vanilla extract, and crushed ice to the strawberry puree.
- Blend mixture at high speed for 45-60 seconds until achieving a silky, frothy consistency with no visible ice chunks.
- Taste the liquid blend, adjusting sweetness by incorporating additional sugar if needed and re-blending briefly.
- Select a tall chilled glass and carefully pour the strawberry cream frappuccino, ensuring smooth transition from blender to glass.
- Enhance presentation by crowning the beverage with billowy whipped cream, creating a cloud-like topping.
- Artfully garnish with delicate fresh strawberry slices, strategically placed on the whipped cream summit for visual appeal and complementary flavor.
- Serve immediately while thoroughly chilled, ideally at 40°F, capturing the drink’s optimal refreshing texture and temperature.
Notes
- Customize sweetness by gradually adding sugar and tasting between blends to avoid over-sweetening.
- Choose ripe, in-season strawberries for maximum natural sweetness and vibrant flavor.
- Freeze strawberries beforehand for a thicker, more chilled frappuccino without diluting with extra ice.
- Swap dairy milk with almond, coconut, or oat milk for a vegan or lactose-free version that maintains creamy texture.
