Let’s Make it Together
Prep Your Coffee Base: Start by brewing your coffee or espresso. Let it cool slightly while you gather your other ingredients. This step is crucial because nobody wants steaming hot coffee in their chilly frappuccino.
Blend It All Together: In a blender, combine the cooled coffee, milk, vanilla ice cream, and half of your crushed cookies. Blend until smooth and creamy — think of it as turning your kitchen into an ice cream parlor.
Add More Crunch!: Toss in the remaining cookie bits and pulse gently just to mix them in without turning them into dust. You want those little surprises when you sip!
Pour and Decorate!: Pour your frappuccino into tall glasses. Swirl some chocolate syrup inside each glass before pouring for that fancy café look — ah yes, we’re all about presentation here.
Crown It With Whipped Cream!: Top generously with whipped cream and sprinkle extra crushed cookies on top to impress everyone who lays eyes on this masterpiece.
Enjoying your homemade Cookies & Cream Frappuccino should feel like indulging in dessert while sipping on coffee at the same time. So go ahead — treat yourself!
