- 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, chilled
- 1/2 cup milk (any type)
- 2-3 tbsp granulated sugar or simple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups ice cubes
- 1/8 tsp xanthan gum (optional, for thickness)
- as desired whipped cream
- for garnish chocolate syrup or coffee grounds
How to make Classic Coffee Frappuccino
- Ensure your strong brewed coffee is completely chilled before starting; this prevents it from melting too much ice and diluting the flavor, ensuring a rich coffee taste.
- In a high-speed blender, combine the 1/2 cup chilled strong brewed coffee, 1/2 cup milk, 2-3 tablespoons granulated sugar (or simple syrup), and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Add 1.5 cups of ice cubes to the blender. If using for a thicker texture, sprinkle in 1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum now; this helps create a more stable, restaurant-quality Frappuccino texture.
- Secure the lid and blend on high speed for 30-60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and no large ice chunks remain. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides or use a tamper to ensure all ingredients are incorporated evenly.
- Pour the blended Frappuccino into a tall glass, ensuring a consistent texture from top to bottom as you fill it.
- If desired, generously top your Frappuccino with a swirl of whipped cream, starting from the center and working your way outwards for a beautiful presentation.
- For an extra touch, drizzle with chocolate syrup or sprinkle a pinch of finely ground coffee over the whipped cream before serving immediately to enjoy this refreshing coffee treat.
