This icy blended beverage combines fresh strawberries, vanilla syrup, milk, and whipped cream for a delicious and refreshing dessert drink perfect for summer or anytime you need a little pick-me-up.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Strawberry Base

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Frappuccino

  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup vanilla syrup
  • 1/3 cup prepared strawberry base

Toppings

  • Whipped cream, for topping
  • Crumble shortbread cookies (about 2), optional
  • Additional strawberries, sliced, optional

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Base: In a small bowl, mash the chopped strawberries with the granulated sugar. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until the strawberries become syrupy and juicy.
  2. Blend the Frappuccino: In a blender, combine the ice cubes, milk, heavy cream, vanilla syrup, and 1/3 cup of the strawberry base. Blend on high speed until smooth, thick, and frosty.
  3. Assemble the Drink: Pour the blended mixture into a tall glass. If desired, add a spoonful of the remaining strawberry base to the bottom or top for extra flavor and swirls.
  4. Add Toppings: Top the Frappuccino generously with whipped cream. Garnish with crumbled shortbread cookies and sliced strawberries if using.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Insert a straw, serve immediately, and enjoy your homemade Strawberry Shortcake Frappuccino!

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and coconut whipped cream.
  • Adjust the amount of vanilla syrup to taste depending on your sweetness preference.
  • Frozen strawberries can be used instead of fresh for a frostier texture.
  • Shortbread cookie crumbles are optional but add an authentic shortcake vibe!
